## Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Structures
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Metadata page structure
|
||||
struct IvfFlatMetaPage {
|
||||
magic: u32, // 0x49564646 ("IVFF")
|
||||
lists: u32, // Number of clusters
|
||||
probes: u32, // Default probes
|
||||
dimensions: u32, // Vector dimensions
|
||||
trained: u32, // Training status
|
||||
vector_count: u64, // Total vectors
|
||||
metric: u32, // Distance metric
|
||||
centroid_start_page: u32,// First centroid page
|
||||
lists_start_page: u32, // First list page
|
||||
reserved: [u32; 16], // Future expansion
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Centroid entry (followed by vector data)
|
||||
struct CentroidEntry {
|
||||
cluster_id: u32,
|
||||
list_page: u32,
|
||||
count: u32,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Vector entry (followed by vector data)
|
||||
struct VectorEntry {
|
||||
block_number: u32,
|
||||
offset_number: u16,
|
||||
_reserved: u16,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Algorithms
|
||||
|
||||
**K-means++ Initialization**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Choose first centroid randomly
|
||||
2. For remaining centroids:
|
||||
a. Calculate distance to nearest existing centroid
|
||||
b. Square distances for probability weighting
|
||||
c. Select next centroid with probability proportional to squared distance
|
||||
3. Return k initial centroids
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Search Algorithm**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Load all centroids from index
|
||||
2. Calculate distance from query to each centroid
|
||||
3. Sort centroids by distance
|
||||
4. For top 'probes' centroids:
|
||||
a. Load inverted list
|
||||
b. Calculate exact distance to each vector
|
||||
c. Add to candidate set
|
||||
5. Sort candidates by distance
|
||||
6. Return top-k results
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Index Options
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Default | Range | Description |
|
||||
|--------|---------|-------|-------------|
|
||||
| lists | 100 | 1-10000 | Number of clusters |
|
||||
| probes | 1 | 1-lists | Default probes for search |
|
||||
|
||||
### GUC Variables
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Default | Description |
|
||||
|----------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| ruvector.ivfflat_probes | 1 | Number of lists to probe during search |
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
### Time Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- **Build**: O(n × k × d × iterations)
|
||||
- n = number of vectors
|
||||
- k = number of lists
|
||||
- d = dimensions
|
||||
- iterations = k-means iterations (default 10)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Insert**: O(k × d)
|
||||
- Find nearest centroid
|
||||
|
||||
- **Search**: O(k × d + (n/k) × p × d)
|
||||
- k × d: Find nearest centroids
|
||||
- (n/k) × p × d: Scan p lists, each with n/k vectors
|
||||
|
||||
### Space Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- **Index Size**: O(n × d × 4 + k × d × 4)
|
||||
- Raw vectors + centroids
|
||||
- Approximately same as original data plus small overhead
|
||||
|
||||
### Expected Performance
|
||||
|
||||
| Dataset Size | Lists | Build Time | Search QPS | Recall (probes=10) |
|
||||
|--------------|-------|------------|------------|-------------------|
|
||||
| 10K | 50 | ~10s | 1000 | 90% |
|
||||
| 100K | 100 | ~2min | 500 | 92% |
|
||||
| 1M | 500 | ~20min | 250 | 95% |
|
||||
| 10M | 1000 | ~3hr | 125 | 95% |
|
||||
|
||||
*Based on 1536-dimensional vectors*
|
||||
|
||||
## SQL Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Create Index
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Basic usage
|
||||
CREATE INDEX ON documents USING ruivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops);
|
||||
|
||||
-- With configuration
|
||||
CREATE INDEX ON documents USING ruivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops)
|
||||
WITH (lists = 500);
|
||||
|
||||
-- Cosine similarity
|
||||
CREATE INDEX ON documents USING ruivfflat (embedding vector_cosine_ops)
|
||||
WITH (lists = 100);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Search Queries
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Basic search
|
||||
SELECT id, embedding <-> '[0.1, 0.2, ...]' AS distance
|
||||
FROM documents
|
||||
ORDER BY embedding <-> '[0.1, 0.2, ...]'
|
||||
LIMIT 10;
|
||||
|
||||
-- High-accuracy search
|
||||
SET ruvector.ivfflat_probes = 20;
|
||||
SELECT * FROM documents
|
||||
ORDER BY embedding <-> '[...]'
|
||||
LIMIT 100;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Run the complete test suite:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# SQL tests
|
||||
psql -d your_database -f tests/ivfflat_am_test.sql
|
||||
|
||||
# Expected output: 14 tests PASSED
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Points
|
||||

|
||||
2. **Types Module**: Compatible with `RuVector` type
|
||||
3. **Index Module**: Follows same patterns as HNSW implementation
|
||||
4. **GUC Variables**: Registered in `lib.rs::_PG_init()`
|
||||
|
||||
### With PostgreSQL
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Access Method API**: Full IndexAmRoutine implementation
|
||||
2. **Buffer Management**: Uses standard PostgreSQL buffer pool
|
||||
3. **Memory Context**: All allocations via palloc/pfree
|
||||
4. **Transaction Safety**: ACID compliant
|
||||
5. **Catalog Integration**: Registered via CREATE ACCESS METHOD
