FAQPage Schema
How do I build a RAG application with Delta Lake integration?

Build a RAG application with Delta Lake integration by using this managed vector similarity search service to automatically generate embeddings and query data through semantic, hybrid, or full-text search modes.

What is the difference between Delta Sync and Direct Access vector indexes?

Delta Sync indexes automatically synchronize with Delta Lake tables, while Direct Access indexes allow direct querying of source data. Both support managed embedding generation for semantic search applications.

How do I perform semantic search on a document repository?

Perform semantic search on a document repository by creating a vector index, utilizing automatic embedding generation, and querying the managed similarity search service using available filtering options.

Does databricks-ai-search support hybrid search and full-text search?

Yes, the service supports hybrid search and full-text search alongside semantic search. These multiple search modes include various filtering options to improve knowledge base query experiences.

What are the endpoint options for managing a vector similarity search service?

The vector similarity search service offers Standard and Storage-Optimized endpoint types. Standard endpoints provide lower latency, while Storage-Optimized endpoints handle different capacity characteristics.
