deleteByIds? I am scheduling a bulk delete and want to know if I should chunk it, or if that limit is well above the memory size of a Worker. (EDIT for searchers: Limit is 20)

Hi Bhanu, Eng manager here. Based on the info you provided I suggest splitting your 5M vectors index into smaller indexes per customer id. Let me know if 100 indexes per account is sufficient for you (we can bump this limit if necessary). You will get much better performance searching in smaller indexes. We are working hard to bump vectors per index limit, we don't have ETA for this to be ready though.

This would also be more reasonable if there was a way to programatically create Workers bindings for indices, but you have to use

wrangler.toml

wrangler.toml

right now which hard-codes your limit

huwOP•12/12/23, 11:16 PM

I’m not sure about the specifics—you can use API calls to create and query indices dynamically, sure, but aren’t those API calls slower?

Are pages bindings here yet? The API doesn't support delete so I can't really use it. Gotta wait for pages bindings :/

Hey folks, love the work on the AI stuff! Just wanted to drop in to chime in that I would love it for the limits on Vectorize index to be way higher, to the tune of a couple of indices per user of my app. That's all!

xeon06•12/14/23, 8:56 PM

I don't want to give a number because it would scale with the number of users my app has, e.g. I need to be able to make vector searches against documents belonging only to a single user.

Even if it was 10,000, then what do I do at 10k users!

xeon06•12/14/23, 9:00 PM

There's a world where I can filter post search, but that doesn't seem inefficient and probably severely limited by the topKtopK limit

huwOP•12/14/23, 11:59 PM

The in between here is namespaces, right now if you maximally used indices & namespaces you could support 100k users

huwOP•12/15/23, 12:00 AM

tbh it’s not really clear whether a user-segmented app is supposed to use separate indices or separate namespaces right now—only except that namespaces have the advantage of using proper service bindings but if you go for

indices you’d have to use the API

xeon06•12/15/23, 1:13 AM

Oh wow somehow I completely missed namespaces

xeon06•12/15/23, 1:14 AM

Yeah I suppose without creating new indices with the API in order to "bin" the namespaces you're limited at 1000

xeon06•12/15/23, 1:14 AM

But I guess my request now is more along the lines of increasing the namespace limit

divby0•12/15/23, 2:06 PM

I am getting "error code: 502" errors for the last few minutes on two different vectorize indices

divby0•12/15/23, 2:07 PM

The body literally only says "error code: 502" if I see this right. I am doing a normal request (that used to work a few days ago) on /query. It uses topK: 2 with a namespace filter and returnMetadata: true

divby0•12/15/23, 2:08 PM

This happens on both of my indices, if a cloudflare staff can DM me, I can provide the specific indices maybe there's more info on the cause on your isde

natanparmigiano•12/20/23, 11:59 PM

Hey all!
I have a question regarding billing, if using metadata filters, would total queried vector dimensions be calculated towards the entire index or only the vectors matching the metadata filter?

natanparmigiano•12/21/23, 12:00 AM

I am currently studying the use case of partitioning user documents using filters, but don't want to be billed on a search through all vectors for a question regarding a single document

natanparmigiano•12/21/23, 1:23 AM

Sorry everyone, dumb question, it seems I misunderstood the pricing, a query is billed as 1 queried vector regardless of how many vectors are in the index, right? Now it makes sense why my estimations were coming out so absurd

Nnatanparmigiano Sorry everyone, dumb question, it seems I misunderstood the pricing, a query is ...

Vy•12/21/23, 4:21 PM

no, number of vectors in your index does impact billing since that's the total search space for a query. See https://developers.cloudflare.com/vectorize/platform/pricing/#calculating-vector-dimensions for some examples.

Pricing · Vectorize

Vectorize bills based on:

natanparmigiano•12/21/23, 4:25 PM

But that would affect the "stored vectors" cost, correct?
My understanding is that the "per query" cost is not affected by the stored vectors count (as in, if I have 100000 vectors stored, the cost per query is the same as if I have 200000, but the stored vectors bill would increase)

Is my understanding correct in that sense?

Matt Silverlock•12/21/23, 4:48 PM

If this doesn't make sense, help us understand where you're stuck. There's also some examples further down:

Matt Silverlock•12/21/23, 4:49 PM

Put another way:
- If you store 10k vectors of 1536 dimension each and make ZERO queries, it's (10000)*1536*(0.040/1000000)(10000)*1536*(0.040/1000000) = $0.6144 for the month
- If you query that index 50k times that month, it's (10000+50000)*1536*(0.040/1000000)(10000+50000)*1536*(0.040/1000000) = $3.68. The query component is $3.072. You just add them up.

natanparmigiano•12/21/23, 4:56 PM

In the end it does make sense!
The docs are quite clear, I just got it wrong at first, since the provided formula includes both the query and storage costs, I at first assumed that index size would affect per query costs

I think it would be clearer to newcomers if the pricing examples had the cost components (stored and queried vectors) shown (and calculated) separately.

natanparmigiano•12/21/23, 4:58 PM

It was just a misunderstanding in my part, as clearly there are two unrelated cost components defined on the top of the article, but the calculation including both factors kinda threw me off!

Thanks a lot for your help, the costs are clear to me now

Jeffrey Konowitch•12/29/23, 5:44 PM

In other words, can we save money by smartly partitioning and querying with metadata. It seems namespaces are the only way to do this at the moment, but are limited to 1000.

xeon06•1/5/24, 6:27 AM

Hey folks, I notice that the scores are get are either in the 0.8 for good results, or 0.7 for bad ones. Is it normal to not have that much of a range of scores?

Frank•1/5/24, 9:11 PM

Ie. Searching thru vectors of contacts vs. vectors of docs/notes. Latter may be super dense.
Also wish there was no limit on # of namespace once hits GA. Would greatly reduce search space. We can namespace it using a composite key. Can just be concat of user id+ type of data or something

Frank•1/5/24, 9:17 PM

Be great if price is based on actual search space instead of total stored. Assuming namespace and metadata filtering reduces search space

divby0•1/7/24, 8:32 AM

We still can only add vectors, never delete them again though. Together with beta-limits that are relatively low is slowly getting an issue. Had to do a manual reset of the whole index now and I hope it will be enough until we finally get either pages-bindings or delete via http api

divby0•1/7/24, 8:32 AM

Not really sure how this whole product can exist for "so long" without just the option to delete stuff again, kind of boggles my mind why stuff isn't on fire for other people
