Known Issues & Limitations

Compilation Status

  • These pre-existed and are related to bincode version incompatibilities
  • Do not affect Phase 6 functionality
  • Should be addressed in separate PR

Limitations

1. Learned Indexes (Experimental):

   • Simplified linear models (production would use neural networks)
   • Static rebuilds (dynamic updates planned)
   • Best for sorted, read-heavy data

2. Neural Hash Training:

   • Simplified contrastive loss
   • Production would use proper backpropagation
   • Consider integrating PyTorch/tch-rs

3. TDA Complexity:

   • O(n²) distance matrix limits scalability
   • Best used offline for quality assessment
   • Consider sampling for large datasets

4. Hypergraph K-hop:

   • Exponential branching for large k
   • Recommend sampling or bounded k
   • Consider approximate algorithms

Hypergraph Insert	O(|E|)	E = hyperedge size
Hypergraph Search	O(k log n)	k results, n edges
K-hop Traversal	O(exp(k)·N)	Use sampling
