Vector benchmark

Milvus has a benchmark that:

  • reads a single big index from S3 into a local NVMe
  • the actual vector query is executed against a local SSD and returns a list of nearest neighbors
  • optionally, it lets you insert both vectors and the document those vectors represent; in this case, the documents are stored in S3
  • the retrieval can either return just the nearest neighbor vectors or vectors and documents
