VectorDB

A vector database implementation in Rust. A server and client based codebase. Just run the server and call the api endpoints to

1. embed documents
2. Search through.

Features

• VectorDB Structure: The database is represented by a struct that maps an integer ID to a vector.
• Add : Allows insertion of vectors into the database
• Find Nearest: Computes Euclidean distance between a query vector and all vectors in the database returning the close one.
• RocksDB and HNSW Indexing

Usage

1. Run the server using the following command

cargo run

2. Use the python client to add document and search. See here

TODO

1. Implement more efficient distance calculations.
2. Use advanced datastructures for fast nearest neighbor searches.
3. Metadata storage for filtering
