Very forward looking, just spec'ing infra options.

wadefletch•10/26/23, 5:32 PM

Ok, great! Thanks!

Wwadefletch Very forward looking, just spec'ing infra options.

Matt SilverlockOP•10/26/23, 5:34 PM

Got it. Right now our focus is:

1. Metadata filtering
2. Increasing overall performance and per-index vector limits
3. User-facing analytics

Wwadefletch Only 100 indexes of 200,000 vectors rn though, right? That's a mighty small user...

Ment per tenant, not user

Wwadefletch Very forward looking, just spec'ing infra options.

charl.dev•10/26/23, 9:52 PM

Cf limits are mostly soft limits that can be increased if you ask nicely, so I wouldn’t let the limits deter you

charl.dev•10/27/23, 12:14 PM

when creating a vector index, im getting:

"message": "vectorize.index.invalid_name - Index name \"user_29w83sxmDNGwOuEthce5gg56FcC\""

"message": "vectorize.index.invalid_name - Index name \"user_29w83sxmDNGwOuEthce5gg56FcC\""

Its within the char limit, not sure what other restrictions there are?

charl.dev•10/27/23, 12:19 PM

also tried without the underscore

zegevlier•10/27/23, 12:20 PM

Perhaps it's too long?

zegevlier•10/27/23, 12:21 PM

From https://developers.cloudflare.com/vectorize/platform/limits/#limits

Maximum index name length: 63 bytes

zegevlier•10/27/23, 12:21 PM

This is only 32, so that's not it. hmm

zegevlier•10/27/23, 12:24 PM

Ah I found it, you aren't allowed to use capital letters in the name

charl.dev•10/27/23, 12:29 PM

ah, is that intentional or might change?

charl.dev•10/27/23, 12:33 PM

with a limit of 100ish indexes, chances of collision atm are not a worry if I make them all lowercase - but seems that capital letters should be allowed?

Ccharl.dev ah, is that intentional or might change?

Matt SilverlockOP•10/27/23, 12:43 PM

Might change. Again, keep in mind metadata filtering and (in the future) increased total index limits will both land.

I was just making a PR to the docs to clarify this on the getting started pages. Should I still make it or hold off for now?

I would still PR it

Matt SilverlockOP•10/27/23, 12:51 PM

(And thanks!)

charl.dev•10/27/23, 1:14 PM

and not sure if this is a thing, the delete index is only returning 204, no body. From the docs, is says response would be 200 with:

{
  "errors": [],
  "messages": [],
  "result": {},
  "success": true
}

{
  "errors": [],
  "messages": [],
  "result": {},
  "success": true
}

Might be missing something but filtering by namespace doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm inserting vectors as ndjson via Wrangler, formatted as

{ id: "id", values: [], metadata: {}, namespace: "namespace" }

{ id: "id", values: [], metadata: {}, namespace: "namespace" }

then trying to query it via

INDEX.query(embeddings, { returnVectors: true, namespace: "namespace" });

INDEX.query(embeddings, { returnVectors: true, namespace: "namespace" });

but introducing namespace results in 0 matches

charl.dev•10/28/23, 6:14 AM

where did you see that namespace is an allowed prop?

huw•10/28/23, 7:58 AM

It’s in the TypeScript types

huw•10/28/23, 7:58 AM

It’s not documented tho

huw•10/28/23, 1:47 PM

Oh yep, looks like

query

doesn’t return namespace info in the vectors

futuristick•10/28/23, 1:48 PM

Right, I knew it isn't returned, but I figured filtering by namespace at least worked

Not yet - Its very close by all accounts and hopefully will be released soon.

Matt SilverlockOP•10/30/23, 1:58 PM

What do you need per index / do you have 200k vectors today elsewhere, or is this forward-looking?

Matt SilverlockOP•10/30/23, 10:10 PM

Got it. Per the docs, 200k is a beta limitation and one that will grow over time. Metadata filtering will solve the other part for you and we expect that to land this month.

Zzach Metadata filtering comes *after* the vector search, whereas Namespace filtering ...

Matt SilverlockOP•10/30/23, 10:45 PM

Metadata is before.

Sam•10/31/23, 2:27 PM

Hey guys. Getting this error trying to upload my vectors using the cli:

✘ [ERROR] Received a malformed response from the API

POST /accounts/ab18c413a5487e485eb510e76de1e6de/vectorize/indexes/coaching-index/insert -> 200 OK

Any clues why?
