- Implemented BinaryEmbeddingBackend for fast coarse filtering using 256-dimensional binary vectors.
- Developed DenseEmbeddingBackend for high-precision dense vectors (2048 dimensions) for reranking.
- Created CascadeEmbeddingBackend to combine binary and dense embeddings for two-stage retrieval.
- Introduced utility functions for embedding conversion and distance computation.
chore: Migration 010 - Add multi-vector storage support
- Added 'chunks' table to support multi-vector embeddings for cascade retrieval.
- Included new columns: embedding_binary (256-dim) and embedding_dense (2048-dim) for efficient storage.
- Implemented upgrade and downgrade functions to manage schema changes and data migration.
- Added ANNIndex class for approximate nearest neighbor search using HNSW.
- Integrated ANN index with VectorStore for enhanced search capabilities.
- Updated test suite for ANN index, including tests for adding, searching, saving, and loading vectors.
- Modified existing tests to accommodate changes in search performance expectations.
- Improved error handling for file operations in tests to ensure compatibility with Windows file locks.
- Adjusted hybrid search performance assertions for increased stability in CI environments.
