Distributed Index Handler 24.1

# VectorType

The fields with this property contain vector values. Type `True` to indicate that the associated PropertyFieldCSVs fields contain parametric values.

A vector in a document is a comma-separated list of floating point values. You can generate vectors by using many different models. IDOL provides tools to generate vectors to use in your documents in Query Manipulation Server (QMS), and NiFi Ingest. For more information, refer to the QMS Help, and the IDOL NiFi Ingest Help.

When you use vectors in IDOL fields, all vectors in a particular field name must have the same dimensionality (that is, the number of values in the vector). A document can contain multiple vectors with the same field name.

The `VectorType` fields can contain additional metadata. For example:

    #DREFIELD MYVEC="0.1,0.2,0.3;source=DRECONTENT[0:55]

This example includes the source field and offset information for the embedding. The NiFi document embeddings generator automatically generates this metadata. Distributed Index Handler interprets the offsets as byte offsets.
