Before you connect
Questions about Vector Index Estimator.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Vector Index Recall Estimator help me save money on cloud costs?
Yes. By using calculate_memory_usage, you can determine the exact RAM requirements for your data. This prevents you from over-provisioning expensive cloud instances.
Does the Vector Index Recall Estimator support HNSW and IVF?
Yes, it provides specific performance estimates and parameter recommendations for both HNSW and IVF algorithms.
How accurate are the memory estimates?
The estimates are based on standard vector precision tiers and algorithm overhead. They provide a reliable blueprint for hardware capacity planning.
Can I use the Vector Index Recall Estimator to find the best nprobe value?
Yes, you can ask for recommendations based on your target recall percentage and dataset scale to find the optimal nprobe range.
What's the difference between HNSW and IVF performance?
The capability allows you to compare both, showing you how HNSW handles recall-vs-latency trade-offs compared to the parameter-dependent scaling of IVF.
Do I need to have my data ready to use the Vector Index Recall Estimator?
No, you don't need your actual data. You only need to know your expected vector count, dimensions, and the precision tier you plan to use.
What algorithms are supported?
The server supports HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) and IVF (Inverted File Index) algorithms.
How can I estimate the RAM needed for my index?
Use the calculate_memory_usage capability. You will need to provide the total vector count, dimensions per vector, and the precision tier (float32, float16, or int8).
Can I get parameter suggestions for a specific recall target?
Yes, the get_parameter_recommendations capability provides suggested ranges for parameters like efSearch or nprobe to help you reach your target recall percentage.
