Currently, when indexing knn vectors, we buffer them in memory and on flush during a segment construction we build an HNSW graph. As building an HNSW graph is very expensive, this makes flush operation take a lot of time. This also makes overall indexing performance quite unpredictable – some indexing operations return almost instantly while others that trigger flush take a lot of time. This happens because flushes are unpredictable and trigged by memory used, presence of concurrent searches etc. Building an HNSW graph as we index vectors avoid these problems, as the load of HNSW graph construction is spread evenly during indexing.
