@rmuir @ChrisHegarty @msokolov I have been thinking about this. It would be useful to have a true injectable format so that Lucene itself doesn't have multiple variations of HNSW formats. What if we updated the HNSW format to write the inner format name into its metadata? Then it could use the loader when constructing its reader given the name written metadata. This way we still contain the customization to the outer format. A concern that I have is that this may require too much knowledge for users (e.g. to use quantized vectors, be sure to use HNSW with a quantized inner format, etc.). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
