Qais Qadri commented on SOLR-16952:
-----------------------------------
Sure [~abenedetti],
The field defined as solr.DenseVectorField is expected to store an array of
floats, right? And this worked right in case of a single shard collection
meaning it indeed stored and returned array of floats. But in a multishard
collection, the field returns back an array of strings instead of array of
floats. I have attached a screenshot previously where the field name _vector_
has value as array of strings instead of array of floats when original data
that was indexed had list of floats, but If I create a collection with only one
shard and index same data, it is correctly stored as array of floats. This
causes the query on the field in multishard also return incorrect results.
> solr.DenseVectorField does not work on a collection with more than 1 shards

>
> the field type solr.DenseVectorField introduced in solr 9.0 works well with
> single core user managed and single shard collection in solr cloud way, but
> in any multi shard collection it stores data as list of strings instead of
> list of floats and running query on top of it also fails to provide correct
> results.
>
> attaching screenshot, the field name is vector, which is defined as
> <fieldType name="knn_vector" class="solr.DenseVectorField"
> vectorDimension="512" similarityFunction="cosine"/>
> {color:#000080}
> {color}
> <field name="vector" type="knn_vector" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
