Vector Streaming: The Memory Efficient Indexing for Vector Databases
Vector databases are everywhere, powering LLMs. But indexing embeddings, especially multivector embeddings like ColPali and Colbert, at a bulk is memory intensive. Vector streaming solves this problem by parallelizing the tasks of parsing, chunking, and embedding generation and indexing it continuously chunk by chunk instead of bulk. This not only increase the speed but also makes the whole task more optimized and memory efficient.
The library gives many vector database supports, like Pinecone, Weavaite, and Elastic.
