commit 44cd5efc63f552c4dcc68a264e99fedddfd7b32a
Author: JingsongLi <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Mon Jun 8 08:42:09 2026 +0800

    Add io module and reader-based search functions
    
    New io module: binary serialization format for IVF-PQ indexes with
    delta-varint ID compression and transposed code layout for cache-
    friendly SIMD scan.
    
    Features:
    - SeekRead/SeekWrite traits for abstracted I/O (supports pread)
    - write_index: delta-varint IDs + transposed codes (compact format)
    - write_index_raw_ids: raw int64 IDs (for benchmarking)
    - IVFPQIndexReader: lazy-loading reader (header-only open, load on
      first search), reads inverted lists on demand
    - Reader-based search functions in ivfpq.rs:
      - search_with_reader / search_with_reader_filter: single-query
        search with parallel per-list scanning
      - search_batch_reader: batch queries share list reads, reducing
        I/O from nq*nprobe to unique-list-count reads
    
    ~1260 lines of new code, all clippy-clean and tested (43 tests pass,
    7 new: varint roundtrip, delta-varint IDs, write/read roundtrip,
    space savings benchmark, write-read-search, filtered search, batch
    search).
