# Using GLT for unstructured logs

GLT (Group-by Log Type) is a version of CLP specialized for enhanced search performance, at the cost
of higher memory usage during compression. During compression, log events with the same log type are
grouped together into tables that can be compressed and searched more efficiently. In most cases,
GLT achieves a higher compression ratio than CLP.
GLT (Group-by Log Type) is a version of CLP specialized for enhanced search performance, at the
cost of higher memory usage during compression. During compression, log events with the same log
type are grouped together into tables that can be compressed and searched more efficiently. In our
benchmarks, compared to CLP, we found that GLT's compression ratio is 1.24x higher and searches
are 7.8x faster on average.

You can use GLT to compress, decompress, and search unstructured (plain-text) logs using the `glt`
binary described below.
