|
||||
|
||||
Complete implementation of sparse vector support for ruvector-postgres PostgreSQL extension, providing efficient storage and operations for high-dimensional sparse embeddings.
|
||||
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
**Total: 1,243 lines of Rust code**
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Components
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. SparseVec Type (`types.rs`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Storage Format**: COO (Coordinate)
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
#[derive(PostgresType, Serialize, Deserialize)]
|
||||
pub struct SparseVec {
|
||||
indices: Vec<u32>, // Sorted indices of non-zero elements
|
||||
values: Vec<f32>, // Values corresponding to indices
|
||||
dim: u32, // Total dimensionality
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features**:
|
||||
- ✅ Automatic sorting and deduplication on creation
|
||||
- ✅ Binary search for O(log n) lookups
|
||||
- ✅ String parsing: `"{1:0.5, 2:0.3, 5:0.8}"`
|
||||
- ✅ Display formatting for PostgreSQL output
|
||||
- ✅ Bounds checking and validation
|
||||
- ✅ Empty vector support
|
||||
|
||||
**Methods**:
|
||||
- `new(indices, values, dim)` - Create with validation
|
||||
- `nnz()` - Number of non-zero elements
|
||||
- `dim()` - Total dimensionality
|
||||
- `get(index)` - O(log n) value lookup
|
||||
- `iter()` - Iterator over (index, value) pairs
|
||||
- `norm()` - L2 norm calculation
|
||||
- `l1_norm()` - L1 norm calculation
|
||||
- `prune(threshold)` - Remove elements below threshold
|
||||
- `top_k(k)` - Keep only top k elements by magnitude
|
||||
- `to_dense()` - Convert to dense vector
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Distance Functions (`distance.rs`)
|
||||
|
||||
All functions use **merge-based iteration** for O(nnz(a) + nnz(b)) complexity:
|
||||
|
||||
**Implemented Functions**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`sparse_dot(a, b)`** - Inner product
|
||||
- Only multiplies overlapping indices
|
||||
- Perfect for SPLADE and learned sparse retrieval
|
||||
|
||||
2. **`sparse_cosine(a, b)`** - Cosine similarity
|
||||
- Returns value in [-1, 1]
|
||||
- Handles zero vectors gracefully
|
||||
|
||||
3. **`sparse_euclidean(a, b)`** - L2 distance
|
||||
- Handles non-overlapping indices efficiently
|
||||
- sqrt(sum((a_i - b_i)²))
|
||||
|
||||
4. **`sparse_manhattan(a, b)`** - L1 distance
|
||||
- sum(|a_i - b_i|)
|
||||
- Robust to outliers
|
||||
|
||||
5. **`sparse_bm25(query, doc, ...)`** - BM25 scoring
|
||||
- Full BM25 implementation
|
||||
- Configurable k1 and b parameters
|
||||
- Query uses IDF weights, doc uses term frequencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Algorithm**: All distance functions use efficient merge iteration:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
while i < a.len() && j < b.len() {
|
||||
match a_indices[i].cmp(&b_indices[j]) {
|
||||
Less => i += 1, // Only in a
|
||||
Greater => j += 1, // Only in b
|
||||
Equal => { // In both: multiply
|
||||
result += a[i] * b[j];
|
||||
i += 1; j += 1;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. PostgreSQL Operators (`operators.rs`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Distance Operations**:
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_dot(a, b) -> f32`
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_cosine(a, b) -> f32`
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_euclidean(a, b) -> f32`
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_manhattan(a, b) -> f32`
|
||||
|
||||
**Construction Functions**:
|
||||
- `ruvector_to_sparse(indices, values, dim) -> sparsevec`
|
||||
- `ruvector_dense_to_sparse(dense) -> sparsevec`
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_to_dense(sparse) -> real[]`
|
||||
|
||||
**Utility Functions**:
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_nnz(sparse) -> int` - Number of non-zeros
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_dim(sparse) -> int` - Dimension
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_norm(sparse) -> real` - L2 norm
|
||||
|
||||
**Sparsification Functions**:
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_top_k(sparse, k) -> sparsevec`
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_prune(sparse, threshold) -> sparsevec`
|
||||
|
||||
**BM25 Function**:
|
||||
- `ruvector_sparse_bm25(query, doc, doc_len, avg_len, k1, b) -> real`
|
||||
|
||||
**All functions marked**:
|
||||
- `#[pg_extern(immutable, parallel_safe)]` - Safe for parallel queries
|
||||
- Proper error handling with panic messages
|
||||
- TOAST-aware through pgrx serialization
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Test Suite (`tests.rs`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Test Coverage**:
|
||||
- ✅ Type creation and validation (8 tests)
|
||||
- ✅ Parsing and formatting (2 tests)
|
||||
- ✅ Distance computations (10 tests)
|
||||
- ✅ PostgreSQL operators (11 tests)
|
||||
- ✅ Edge cases (empty, no overlap, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
**Test Categories**:
|
||||
1. **Type Tests**: Creation, sorting, deduplication, bounds checking
|
||||
2. **Distance Tests**: All distance functions with various cases
|
||||
3. **Operator Tests**: PostgreSQL function integration
|
||||
4. **Edge Cases**: Empty vectors, zero norms, orthogonal vectors
|
||||
|
||||
## SQL Interface
|
||||
|
||||
### Type Declaration
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Sparse vector type (auto-created by pgrx)
|
||||
CREATE TYPE sparsevec;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Operations
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Create from string
|
||||
SELECT '{1:0.5, 2:0.3, 5:0.8}'::sparsevec;
|
||||
|
||||
-- Create from arrays
|
||||
SELECT ruvector_to_sparse(
|
||||
ARRAY[1, 2, 5]::int[],
|
||||
ARRAY[0.5, 0.3, 0.8]::real[],
|
||||
10 -- dimension
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
-- Distance operations
|
||||
SELECT ruvector_sparse_dot(a, b);
|
||||
SELECT ruvector_sparse_cosine(a, b);
|
||||
SELECT ruvector_sparse_euclidean(a, b);
|
||||
|
||||
-- Utility functions
|
||||
SELECT ruvector_sparse_nnz(sparse_vec);
|
||||
SELECT ruvector_sparse_dim(sparse_vec);
|
||||
SELECT ruvector_sparse_norm(sparse_vec);
|
||||
|
||||
-- Sparsification
|
||||
SELECT ruvector_sparse_top_k(sparse_vec, 100);
|
||||
SELECT ruvector_sparse_prune(sparse_vec, 0.1);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Search Example
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
CREATE TABLE documents (
|
||||
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
|
||||
content TEXT,
|
||||
sparse_embedding sparsevec
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
-- Insert data
|
||||
INSERT INTO documents (content, sparse_embedding) VALUES
|
||||
('Document 1', '{1:0.5, 2:0.3, 5:0.8}'::sparsevec),
|
||||
('Document 2', '{2:0.4, 3:0.2, 5:0.9}'::sparsevec);
|
||||
|
||||
-- Search by dot product
|
||||
SELECT id, content,
|
||||
ruvector_sparse_dot(sparse_embedding, '{1:0.5, 2:0.3}'::sparsevec) AS score
|
||||
FROM documents
|
||||
ORDER BY score DESC
|
||||
LIMIT 10;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
### Complexity Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | Time Complexity | Space Complexity |
|
||||
|-----------|----------------|------------------|
|
||||
| Creation | O(n log n) | O(n) |
|
||||
| Get value | O(log n) | O(1) |
|
||||
| Dot product | O(nnz(a) + nnz(b)) | O(1) |
|
||||
| Cosine | O(nnz(a) + nnz(b)) | O(1) |
|
||||
| Euclidean | O(nnz(a) + nnz(b)) | O(1) |
|
||||
| Manhattan | O(nnz(a) + nnz(b)) | O(1) |
|
||||
| BM25 | O(nnz(query) + nnz(doc)) | O(1) |
|
||||
| Top-k | O(n log n) | O(n) |
|
||||
| Prune | O(n) | O(n) |
|
||||
|
||||
Where `n` is the number of non-zero elements.
|
||||
|
||||
### Expected Performance
|
||||
|
||||
Based on typical sparse vectors (100-1000 non-zeros):
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | NNZ (query) | NNZ (doc) | Dim | Expected Time |
|
||||
|-----------|-------------|-----------|-----|---------------|
|
||||
| Dot Product | 100 | 100 | 30K | ~0.8 μs |
|
||||
| Cosine | 100 | 100 | 30K | ~1.2 μs |
|
||||
| Euclidean | 100 | 100 | 30K | ~1.0 μs |
|
||||
| BM25 | 100 | 100 | 30K | ~1.5 μs |
|
||||
|
||||
**Storage Efficiency**:
|
||||
- Dense 30K-dim vector: 120 KB (4 bytes × 30,000)
|
||||
- Sparse 100 non-zeros: ~800 bytes (8 bytes × 100)
|
||||
- **150× storage reduction**
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Text Search with BM25
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Traditional text search ranking
|
||||
SELECT id, title,
|
||||
ruvector_sparse_bm25(
|
||||
query_idf, -- Query with IDF weights
|
||||
term_frequencies, -- Document term frequencies
|
||||
doc_length,
|
||||
avg_doc_length,
|
||||
1.2, -- k1 parameter
|
||||
0.75 -- b parameter
|
||||
) AS bm25_score
|
||||
FROM articles
|
||||
ORDER BY bm25_score DESC;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Learned Sparse Retrieval (SPLADE)
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Neural sparse embeddings
|
||||
SELECT id, content,
|
||||
ruvector_sparse_dot(splade_embedding, query_splade) AS relevance
|
||||
FROM documents
|
||||
ORDER BY relevance DESC
|
||||
LIMIT 10;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Hybrid Dense + Sparse Search
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Combine signals for better recall
|
||||
SELECT id, content,
|
||||
0.7 * (1 - (dense_embedding <=> query_dense)) +
|
||||
0.3 * ruvector_sparse_dot(sparse_embedding, query_sparse) AS hybrid_score
|
||||
FROM documents
|
||||
ORDER BY hybrid_score DESC;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Future: Inverted index for fast sparse search
|
||||
CREATE INDEX ON documents USING ruvector_sparse_ivf (
|
||||
sparse_embedding sparsevec(30000)
|
||||
) WITH (
|
||||
pruning_threshold = 0.1
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
