As in, a metadata-only upsert? I am currently working around it by doing a get by ID + upsert but it means loading the whole vector which I’m not editing at all

I'm finding it kind of interesting that

namespace

namespace

namespace

namespace is buried so low in the structure.

I feel like the

namespace

namespace

namespace

namespace should be up leveled.

If I have a record with id

and I insert that into namespace

netflix

netflix

netflix

netflix, but then I have the same object id, perhaps different metadata and certainly different vectors, and it has a namespace

hulu

hulu

hulu

hulu the vectorize database will overwrite the first record, or fail depending on if I called

upsert

upsert

upsert

upsert or

insert

insert

insert

insert

If the namespace were moved up then the actions would happen on the namespace and this type of use case would not be an issue.

I bring this up, regardless of whether this example seems logical or not because it would be possible to have ID conflicts in the same vector table even though numerous namespaces could be used.

@King Mesal noted thx for the feedback! If we were to allow same id in different namespaces, queries by ID would really be by id/namespace.

Btw you can achieve this id-per-namespace in several ways:

* by having the namespace part of the id
* by having the vendor ID in the metadata of the vector instead, using a different ID scheme, and still use namespaces for partitioning the vector set
* by using several indexes, one per "namespace" (netflix, hulu, ...) as we don't bill per number of index but per usage. That way it's much more similar to what Pinecone does with namespaces for instance, where namespaces are "higher up" in the structure, but there's no way to query across all namespaces in a single query.

kingmesal•1/10/24, 5:13 PM

Combining data to ensure a unique key is certainly an option, but that is generally not a favorable option because then all users must know to split the ids or concat to get the ids.

As it is right now, the namespace is really just a piece of metadata from an api perspective.

The problem with the suggestion of several indexes, is that I store data for multiple types of data across multiple customers. As of now I have an index per type of data (because they have the same shape). Ideally the namespace should be all I need to use the same index for all customers, but without prefixing the key, I cannot ensure uniqueness.

If I created an index per customer I would be afraid of running into Cloudflare limits on the number of indexes I create.

Oh, but, if namespace were upleveled, an empty (default) namespace could still be a valid namespace...

K

kingmesal•1/10/24, 6:07 PM

If the guidance is, Just go ahead and create the extra indexes, I'm good with that, so long as I don't have to be concerned about running out of total indexes allowed ... e.g. there (may be still) used to be limits on number of KV namespaces, and D1 databases, etc... so if that is a non-concern I'm good with that....

actually, after thinking about that, this approach is quite ineffective from a worker because I would need to have a binding to every index...

Separate topic:

1. I was trying to get a list of all the IDs I had stored in my index and found no way to do that.
2. I built a way to do that, but found there is a

Maximum returned results (topK)    20 beta

Maximum returned results (topK) 20 beta

Maximum returned results (topK) 20 beta. Any chance the dashboard will get some updates to show the vector count for the index?
3. If I lose track of an ID that is in my index I have no way of removing it without deleting and recreating the index. It may be helpful to have a

For the moment, you're going to find (which you may have already spotted) that you're going to dodge one bullet, only to be hit by the next in terms of limits.
In some ways, this has actually been a good process, because it made me really think about the data in a much deeper way than otherwise - in order to get some scale out of it, I've got a rotator system in, which binds N indexes to a worker, and I have N workers doing that. With 100 indexes and 200K vectors/index limits, that's about the only way to really push it at the moment - I would suspect/hope we are due for an update soon including limit increases.

I'm getting a response from my index insert that indicates nothing is happening. There are no errors, but this is the response:

"{"count":0,"ids":[]}"

This is my insert object:

let phase1TempVec:VectorizeVector ={
  id:contentData.d1Key,
  values: phase1Data.data[0],
  namespace:'content_items',
  metadata:metaRecord
}

let phase1TempVec:VectorizeVector ={
  id:contentData.d1Key,
  values: phase1Data.data[0],
  namespace:'content_items',
  metadata:metaRecord
}

let phase1TempVec:VectorizeVector ={
  id:contentData.d1Key,
  values: phase1Data.data[0],
  namespace:'content_items',

}

let phase1TempVec:VectorizeVector ={
  id:contentData.d1Key,
  values: phase1Data.data[0],
  namespace:'content_items',
  metadata:metaRecord
}

Any thoughts?

O

Old Man MakerOP•1/12/24, 5:12 PM

That appears to be due to the insert, rather than an upsert needed.

Old Man MakerOP•1/12/24, 5:27 PM

Just to be super clear here on the limits -

When I have a string of say 150 words and I generate embeddings for that entire string - when I insert that into a vectorize index, is that counted as 1 vector against the 200K limit - or is the number of dimensions taken into consideration against the capacity?

wadefletch•1/13/24, 10:11 AM

Is there a predicted timeline for additional metadata filtering operators? Being able to filter queries to vectors from a date range (represented as ints, don’t have to be fancy dates) would be mega.

If I do the req via postman I get the html 502 error that explains that my browser and cloudflare frankfurt are working but not the host server (api-gateway.api.cloudflare.com). The ray-id (if helpful) is: 848604d8446d3a86

divby0•1/20/24, 8:48 AM

So the 502 code likely isn't what your api-gateway responded with, but I can't see more unfortunately. I've had this before once, and I can't recall if the issue was solved at all, maybe it's just still there.

My guess is that somewhere before my request gets to vectorize (maybe the api gateway?) the big post body gets rejected (cause 1536 vectors that take up much place in a string that contains

I did see that notice, but this vecordId / id thing has been an issue for atleast 3 weeks (that is when I started building my use case w/ vectorize). I'll wait until Tuesday before coming back to this topic.

For the namespace thing, if I go browsing into the downloaded workers-types package -> experimental folder I see what you are referring to. I'm curious why the latest changes are still listed as experimental and not in a dated folder.... not sure how that is setup... but I can see the new api layout in the experimental folder.

DaniFoldi•1/21/24, 7:50 PM

Experimental always contains the newest types - including ones that end-users like us can't yet access, since the features behind them are experimental. I also recommend using the

2023-07-01

2023-07-01

2023-07-01

2023-07-01 entrypoint, as suggested above by Nathan, if your worker compatibility_date is set to something newer.

In general, the recommendation is to use the newest dated folder (so never experimental) that is older than your worker compat date. So if you have

compatibility_date = '2024-01-01'

compatibility_date = '2024-01-01'

compatibility_date = '2024-01-01'

compatibility_date = '2024-01-01'

you'd use

"types": ["@cloudflare/workers-types/2023-07-01"]

"types": ["@cloudflare/workers-types/2023-07-01"]

"types": ["@cloudflare/workers-types/2023-07-01"]

"types": ["@cloudflare/workers-types/2023-07-01"]. Not all changes requiring a compatibility flag/date update require a new type update, for example if they fix previously buggy behaviour or introduce a change that doesn't change types, just some runtime quirks, that's why there are fewer type entrypoints than entries in the changelog.

If I understood Vy's message correctly, the upcoming change will only affect the HTTP api, available at api.cloudflare.com/...

Compatibility dates and flags are only a concept within workers (http api has a different versioning mechanism), which the change will not affect in any way. I believe the heads-up was because they have no intentions of supporting the old api whatsoever after the change rolls out.
