Yes! We plan to bring Faiss in and utilize a lot of its functionality, our goal for this release was to get an end-to-end working to get feedback on the API. HNSW was a good default with this in mind.
- jamesblonde 5y agoHow does it compare to the OpenDistro for Elastic KNN plugin - which also uses HNSW (and also includes scalable storage, high availability, backups, and filtering)?
- cyrusthegreat 5y agoOur API is built from the ground up with the machine learning workflow in mind. For example, we have a training API that allows you to batch requests and even download your embeddings and generate an HNSW index locally. Our view of versioning, rollbacks, and more makes a lot of sense for an ML index, but very little sense for a search index.
