Hi all, This is still something I just don't understand and am very confused about : -
With SOLR and KNN dense vector search : How, or when, does SOLR update/refresh it's HNSW table ? When documents are added and deleted for example how, and when, does SOLR "refresh" the KNN search? I also don't understand how it works when even adding the first initial documents with dense vector embeddings (but it works because we can execute KNN searches). In this regard it seems very different than the "normal" index Is the HNSW table fully in-memory ? If a SOLR node is stopped and started does it take time to do a rebuild of the HNSW in-memory table and will the potential results from a newly created HNSW table differ from other nodes? (I'm pretty sure we've seen that this is at least true when we've added new nodes to a cluster, and those nodes sync the documents, and the new nodes are returning different KNN results to the original nodes). thanks for any info Derek -- Derek Conniffe Harvey Software Systems Ltd T/A HSSL Telephone (IRL): 086 856 3823 Telephone (US): (650) 449 6044 Skype: dconnrt Email: [email protected] *Disclaimer:* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
