FAQPage Schema
What is vector search for production RAG workflows?

HNSW indexing provides high-speed nearest-neighbor retrieval by organizing vectors into a navigable small-world graph. This mechanism allows the Rust-powered engine to execute low-latency semantic searches even with large-scale on-disk payloads.

How do I perform hybrid search across dense and sparse representations?

Hybrid search across dense and sparse representations is performed using multi-vector storage capabilities. You can store different vector types in the same collection and query them together via REST or gRPC APIs for comprehensive document retrieval.

Does this vector search engine support distributed clustering for scalable deployments?

Yes, the engine supports distributed clustering for scalable deployments. This allows you to horizontally scale your vector storage and maintain real-time retrieval performance across distributed nodes in production-grade RAG environments.

Can I use REST and gRPC APIs for real-time retrieval in AI pipelines?

Yes, you can use both REST and gRPC APIs to interact with the vector database. These interfaces facilitate real-time retrieval and context search within AI pipelines, supported by a robust client ecosystem for integration.

What are the limitations of on-disk payload storage for semantic search?

On-disk payload storage allows you to manage datasets larger than available RAM by keeping vectors on disk. While this enables scalable vector storage, search latency may be affected compared to fully in-memory configurations.
