Milvus – An Open-Source Vector Similarity Search Engine

Milvus allows users to append vectors. Vectors are stored in multiple file slices. When a file slice reaches the threshold, Milvus will build the index for that file slice, and new data will be inserted into a new file slice. For details, please refer https://medium.com/@milvusio/managing-data-in-massive-scale-...

We are now working on the vector deletion. Hopefully will be ready by the end of 1Q this year.

If I append a single new vector, will it show up in search results without me needing to ask for the index to be rebuilt? Can i update an existing vector without having to ask for the index to be rebuilt?

EDIT: from reading the linked article, it seems like newly inserted vectors will be queried using brute force. Very interesting idea!

Correct, new vectors will first be searched thru brute force until the index is created on that file slice.
