struct IndexBinaryHNSW : public faiss::IndexBinary

The HNSW index is a normal random-access index with a HNSW link structure built on top

using component_t = uint8_t

using distance_t = int32_t

Public Functions

explicit IndexBinaryHNSW()

explicit IndexBinaryHNSW(int d, int M = 32)

explicit IndexBinaryHNSW(IndexBinary *storage, int M = 32)

~IndexBinaryHNSW() override

DistanceComputer *get_distance_computer() const

virtual void add(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x) override

Add n vectors of dimension d to the index.

Vectors are implicitly assigned labels ntotal .. ntotal + n - 1

Parameters:

x – input matrix, size n * d / 8

virtual void train(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x) override

Trains the storage if needed.

virtual void search(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x, idx_t k, int32_t *distances, idx_t *labels, const SearchParameters *params = nullptr) const override

entry point for search

virtual void reconstruct(idx_t key, uint8_t *recons) const override

Reconstruct a stored vector.

This function may not be defined for some indexes.

Parameters:

• key – id of the vector to reconstruct

• recons – reconstucted vector (size d / 8)

virtual void reset() override

Removes all elements from the database.

virtual void add_with_ids(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x, const idx_t *xids)

Same as add, but stores xids instead of sequential ids.

The default implementation fails with an assertion, as it is not supported by all indexes.

Parameters:

xids – if non-null, ids to store for the vectors (size n)

virtual void range_search(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x, int radius, RangeSearchResult *result, const SearchParameters *params = nullptr) const

Query n vectors of dimension d to the index.

return all vectors with distance < radius. Note that many indexes do not implement the range_search (only the k-NN search is mandatory). The distances are converted to float to reuse the RangeSearchResult structure, but they are integer. By convention, only distances < radius (strict comparison) are returned, ie. radius = 0 does not return any result and 1 returns only exact same vectors.

Parameters:

• x – input vectors to search, size n * d / 8

• radius – search radius

• result – result table

void assign(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x, idx_t *labels, idx_t k = 1) const

Return the indexes of the k vectors closest to the query x.

This function is identical to search but only returns labels of neighbors.

Parameters:

• x – input vectors to search, size n * d / 8

• labels – output labels of the NNs, size n*k

virtual size_t remove_ids(const IDSelector &sel)

Removes IDs from the index. Not supported by all indexes.

virtual void reconstruct_n(idx_t i0, idx_t ni, uint8_t *recons) const

Reconstruct vectors i0 to i0 + ni - 1.

This function may not be defined for some indexes.

Parameters:

recons – reconstucted vectors (size ni * d / 8)

virtual void search_and_reconstruct(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x, idx_t k, int32_t *distances, idx_t *labels, uint8_t *recons, const SearchParameters *params = nullptr) const

Similar to search, but also reconstructs the stored vectors (or an approximation in the case of lossy coding) for the search results.

If there are not enough results for a query, the resulting array is padded with -1s.

Parameters:

recons – reconstructed vectors size (n, k, d)

void display() const

Display the actual class name and some more info.

virtual void merge_from(IndexBinary &otherIndex, idx_t add_id = 0)

moves the entries from another dataset to self. On output, other is empty. add_id is added to all moved ids (for sequential ids, this would be this->ntotal)

virtual void check_compatible_for_merge(const IndexBinary &otherIndex) const

check that the two indexes are compatible (ie, they are trained in the same way and have the same parameters). Otherwise throw.

virtual size_t sa_code_size() const

size of the produced codes in bytes

virtual void add_sa_codes(idx_t n, const uint8_t *codes, const idx_t *xids)

Same as add_with_ids for IndexBinary.
