FAQPage Schema
How do I implement semantic search for a production RAG pipeline?

Semantic search for production RAG requires indexing high-dimensional vectors and performing low-latency nearest-neighbor retrieval. You achieve this by upserting document embeddings into a collection and querying them via REST or gRPC APIs.

What is the best way to scale vector search with payload-based filtering?

Scaling vector search with payload filtering requires a distributed engine supporting sharding and replication. Using a Rust-based architecture ensures high-performance retrieval while applying metadata constraints to the nearest-neighbor search results.

Can I use distributed vector search for on-premise deployments?

Yes, distributed vector search supports both cloud and on-premise deployments. It provides resilience through replication and sharding, ensuring scalable semantic retrieval and consistent API access across different infrastructure environments.

How does multi-vector support improve semantic retrieval?

Multi-vector support improves semantic retrieval by allowing multiple high-dimensional embeddings to represent a single document. This enables more granular payload-based filtering and accurate nearest-neighbor search across complex, multi-modal production data.

Do I need gRPC to perform low-latency nearest-neighbor search?

No, you do not need gRPC exclusively; low-latency nearest-neighbor search supports both REST and gRPC APIs. gRPC is often preferred for production RAG pipelines requiring maximum throughput, while REST offers easier integration.
