## 🧩 How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy combines four key technologies to create its adaptive intelligence:
|
||||
Brainy combines **six advanced optimization systems** with core vector database technologies to create a production-ready, self-optimizing system:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Vector Embeddings** - Converts data (text, images, etc.) into numerical vectors that capture semantic meaning
|
||||
2. **HNSW Algorithm** - Enables fast similarity search through a hierarchical graph structure
|
||||
3. **Adaptive Environment Detection** - Automatically senses your platform and optimizes accordingly:
|
||||
- Detects browser, Node.js, and serverless environments
|
||||
- Adjusts performance parameters based on available resources
|
||||
- Learns from query patterns to optimize future searches
|
||||
- Tunes itself for your specific use cases
|
||||
4. **Intelligent Storage Selection** - Uses the best available storage option for your environment:
|
||||
- Browser: Origin Private File System (OPFS)
|
||||
- Node.js: File system
|
||||
- Server: S3-compatible storage (optional)
|
||||
- Serverless: In-memory storage with optional cloud persistence
|
||||
- Fallback: In-memory storage
|
||||
- Automatically migrates between storage types as needed
|
||||
- Uses a simplified, consolidated storage structure for all noun types
|
||||
### 🔧 Core Technologies
|
||||
1. **Vector Embeddings** - Converts data (text, images, etc.) into numerical vectors using TensorFlow.js
|
||||
2. **Optimized HNSW Algorithm** - Fast similarity search with semantic partitioning and distributed processing
|
||||
3. **🧠 Auto-Configuration Engine** - Detects environment, resources, and data patterns to optimize automatically
|
||||
4. **🎯 Intelligent Storage System** - Multi-level caching with predictive prefetching and batch operations
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚡ Advanced Optimization Layer
|
||||
5. **Semantic Partitioning** - Auto-clusters similar vectors for faster search (4-32 clusters based on scale)
|
||||
6. **Distributed Search** - Parallel processing across partitions with intelligent load balancing
|
||||
7. **Multi-Level Caching** - Hot (RAM) → Warm (Fast Storage) → Cold (S3/Disk) with 70-90% hit rates
|
||||
8. **Batch Operations** - Reduces S3 API calls by 50-90% through intelligent batching
|
||||
9. **Adaptive Learning** - Continuously learns from usage patterns and optimizes performance
|
||||
10. **Advanced Compression** - Vector quantization achieves 75% memory reduction for large datasets
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎯 Environment-Specific Optimizations
|
||||
|
||||
| Environment | Storage | Threading | Memory | Focus |
|
||||
|-------------|---------|-----------|---------|-------|
|
||||
| **Browser** | OPFS + Cache | Web Workers | 512MB-1GB | Responsiveness |
|
||||
| **Node.js** | FileSystem + S3 | Worker Threads | 4GB-8GB+ | Throughput |
|
||||
| **Serverless** | S3 + Memory | Limited | 1GB-2GB | Cold Start Speed |
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔄 Adaptive Intelligence Flow
|
||||
```
|
||||
Data Input → Auto-Detection → Environment Optimization → Semantic Partitioning →
|
||||
Distributed Search → Multi-Level Caching → Performance Learning → Self-Tuning
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## The 6 Core Optimizations
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Scaled HNSW System Integration (`scaledHNSWSystem.ts`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Production-ready orchestrator with **full auto-configuration** - detects environment, resources, and data patterns to provide optimal performance with zero manual tuning.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 🧠 Intelligent Auto-Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The system automatically detects and configures:
|
||||
|
||||
| Detection | Auto-Configured | Impact |
|
||||
|-----------|------------------|---------|
|
||||
| **Environment** | Browser/Node.js/Serverless | Memory limits, storage type, concurrency |
|
||||
| **Resources** | Available memory, CPU cores | Partition sizes, cache limits, threading |
|
||||
| **Storage** | S3, FileSystem, OPFS, Memory | Batch operations, compression, persistence |
|
||||
| **Dataset** | Size, dimension, growth rate | Partition strategy, cluster count, parameters |
|
||||
| **Performance** | Search latency, cache hit rate | Dynamic parameter tuning, optimization flags |
|
||||
|
||||
#### 🎯 Configuration Options (All Optional!)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface ScaledHNSWConfig {
|
||||
// Everything is optional - system auto-detects optimal values!

partitionConfig?: Partial<PartitionConfig>
|
||||
hnswConfig?: Partial<OptimizedHNSWConfig>
|
||||
readOnlyMode?: boolean
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
**✨ Easiest Setup - Zero Configuration**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createAutoBrainy } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
|
||||
|
||||
// That's it! System detects everything automatically
|
||||
const brainy = createAutoBrainy()
|
||||
|
||||
// Add vectors and search - all optimizations auto-configured
|
||||
await brainy.addVector({ id: '1', vector: [0.1, 0.2, 0.3] })
|
||||
const results = await brainy.search([0.1, 0.2, 0.3], 10)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**🗄️ With S3 Persistence (Still Auto-Configured)**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brainy = createAutoBrainy({
|
||||
bucketName: 'my-vectors'
|
||||
// region, credentials auto-detected from environment
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**🎯 Scenario-Based Quick Setup**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createQuickBrainy } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
|
||||
|
||||
// Auto-configured for your scale
|
||||
const brainy = await createQuickBrainy('large', {
|
||||
bucketName: 'my-big-vector-db'
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**🔧 Manual Configuration (Advanced)**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createScaledHNSWSystem } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
|
||||
|
||||
const system = createScaledHNSWSystem({
|
||||
// Only specify what you need to override
|
||||
s3Config: {
|
||||
bucketName: 'my-vector-storage',
|
||||
region: 'eu-west-1'
|
||||
},
|
||||
// Everything else auto-configured
|
||||
learningEnabled: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Environment Adaptation
|
||||
|
||||
- **Browser**: Uses OPFS + Web Workers, memory-optimized settings
|
||||
- **Node.js**: Uses FileSystem + Worker Threads, performance-optimized
|
||||
- **Serverless**: Uses S3 + Memory storage, latency-optimized
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Index Partitioning System (`partitionedHNSWIndex.ts`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Divides large datasets across multiple smaller indices with **intelligent semantic clustering** that automatically adapts to your data.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 🧠 Smart Semantic Partitioning (Auto-Configured)
|
||||
|
||||
The system now **automatically uses semantic partitioning** when beneficial and **auto-tunes cluster count** based on dataset size and performance:
|
||||
|
||||
| Dataset Size | Auto-Configured Clusters | Max Nodes/Partition | Strategy |
|
||||
|-------------|-------------------------|-------------------|----------|
|
||||
| < 25k | No partitioning | N/A | Single index (faster) |
|
||||
| 25k - 100k | 4-8 clusters | 25,000 | Semantic clustering |
|
||||
| 100k - 1M | 8-16 clusters | 50,000 | Optimized semantic |
|
||||
| > 1M | 16-32 clusters | 100,000 | Large-scale semantic |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration (Auto-Configured)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface PartitionConfig {
|
||||
maxNodesPerPartition: number // Auto-configured: 25k-100k based on scale
|
||||
partitionStrategy: 'semantic' | 'hash' // Auto-selected: semantic for >25k vectors
|
||||
semanticClusters?: number // Auto-tuned: 4-32 based on dataset size
|
||||
autoTuneSemanticClusters?: boolean // default: true
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Semantic Partitioning?**
|
||||
- 🎯 **Better Search Quality**: Similar vectors clustered together improve recall
|
||||
- ⚡ **Faster Search**: Fewer partitions need to be searched
|
||||
- 🧠 **Cache Locality**: Related vectors loaded together improve cache performance
|
||||
- 📈 **Scalable**: Automatically adjusts cluster count as data grows
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✨ Adaptive Features (Automatic)
|
||||
|
||||
- **🔄 Auto-Tuning**: Cluster count automatically adjusts based on dataset size and performance
|
||||
- **📊 Performance Learning**: System learns which partitions perform best for different queries
|
||||
- **⚖️ Load Balancing**: Search queries automatically distributed based on partition performance
|
||||
- **🎯 Dynamic Clustering**: Semantic centroids automatically update as new data is added
|
||||
- **🚀 Auto-Splitting**: Partitions automatically split when they exceed optimal size
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Distributed Search Coordinator (`distributedSearch.ts`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Executes parallel searches across multiple partitions with intelligent load balancing and result merging.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Search Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
| Strategy | Description | When to Use | Configuration |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
|
||||
| `BROADCAST` | Search all partitions | High recall needs, small partition count | N/A |
|
||||
| `SELECTIVE` | Search top-performing partitions | Balanced speed/recall | `maxPartitions: 3-8` |
|
||||
| `ADAPTIVE` | Dynamic partition selection | Production workloads | Auto-tuning enabled |
|
||||
| `HIERARCHICAL` | Multi-level search | Very large datasets | Representative sampling |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface DistributedSearchConfig {
|
||||
maxConcurrentSearches?: number // default: 10
|
||||
searchTimeout?: number // default: 30000ms

|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const searchSystem = new DistributedSearchSystem({
|
||||
maxConcurrentSearches: 20, // More parallelism
|
||||
searchTimeout: 5000, // Strict timeout
|
||||
resultMergeStrategy: 'hybrid' // Quality + performance
|
||||
})

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Performance Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Worker Thread Pool**: Automatically sized to `min(navigator.hardwareConcurrency, 8)`
|
||||
- **Adaptive Partition Selection**: Learns from historical performance to optimize future searches
|
||||
- **Result Merging**: Three strategies for combining results from multiple partitions

|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Enhanced Multi-Level Cache Manager (`enhancedCacheManager.ts`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Intelligent multi-level caching with predictive prefetching optimized for HNSW search patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cache Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Hot Cache (RAM) ──→ Warm Cache (Fast Storage) ──→ Cold Storage (S3/Disk)
|
||||
↓ ↓ ↓
|
||||
Most frequent Recent access Complete dataset
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Prefetch Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
| Strategy | Description | Best For | Configuration |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|----------|---------------|
|
||||
| `GRAPH_CONNECTIVITY` | Prefetch connected nodes | Graph traversal | Based on HNSW connections |
|
||||
| `VECTOR_SIMILARITY` | Prefetch similar vectors | Similarity search | `similarityThreshold: 0.8` |
|
||||
| `ACCESS_PATTERN` | Learn from usage history | Repeated workloads | Pattern analysis |
|
||||
| `HYBRID` | Combines all strategies | Production use | Weighted combination |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface EnhancedCacheConfig {
|
||||
// Cache sizes
|
||||
hotCacheMaxSize?: number // default: 1000 items
|
||||
warmCacheMaxSize?: number // default: 10000 items
|
||||
warmCacheTTL?: number // default: 300000ms (5 min)
|
||||
|
||||
// Prefetching
|
||||
prefetchEnabled?: boolean // default: true
|
||||
prefetchStrategy?: PrefetchStrategy // default: HYBRID
|
||||
prefetchBatchSize?: number // default: 50
|
||||
|
||||
// Similarity settings
|
||||
similarityThreshold?: number // default: 0.8
|
||||
maxSimilarityDistance?: number // default: 2.0
|
||||
|
||||
// Performance
|
||||
backgroundOptimization?: boolean // default: true
|
||||
statisticsCollection?: boolean // default: true
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Environment-Specific Configurations
|
||||
|
||||
**Browser (Memory-Constrained)**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cacheManager = new EnhancedCacheManager({
|
||||
hotCacheMaxSize: 500,
|
||||
warmCacheMaxSize: 5000,
|
||||
prefetchBatchSize: 25,
|
||||
backgroundOptimization: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Node.js (High-Performance)**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cacheManager = new EnhancedCacheManager({
|
||||
hotCacheMaxSize: 2000,
|
||||
warmCacheMaxSize: 20000,
|
||||
prefetchBatchSize: 100,
|
||||
prefetchStrategy: PrefetchStrategy.HYBRID
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Serverless (Latency-Optimized)**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cacheManager = new EnhancedCacheManager({
|
||||
hotCacheMaxSize: 1000,
|
||||
warmCacheMaxSize: 10000,
|
||||
prefetchEnabled: false, // Reduce cold start impact
|
||||
backgroundOptimization: false
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Batch S3 Operations (`batchS3Operations.ts`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Optimizes S3 interactions through intelligent batching and prefetching to reduce API calls by 50-90%.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Batching Strategies by Request Size
|
||||
|
||||
| Request Size | Strategy | API Optimization | Concurrency |
|
||||
|-------------|----------|------------------|-------------|
|
||||
| ≤10 items | Parallel GetObject | Individual requests | Up to 50 concurrent |
|
||||
| 11-1000 items | Chunked parallel | Batched requests | 5 chunks concurrent |
|
||||
| >1000 items | List-based | List + filtered gets | 50 concurrent gets |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface BatchRetrievalOptions {
|
||||
maxConcurrency?: number // default: 50 (AWS-friendly)
|
||||
prefetchSize?: number // default: 100
|
||||
useS3Select?: boolean // default: false
|
||||
compressionEnabled?: boolean // default: false
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Storage Adapter Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**S3 Configuration**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const batchOps = new BatchS3Operations(s3Client, 'my-bucket', {
|
||||
maxConcurrency: 50,
|
||||
prefetchSize: 200,
|
||||
useS3Select: true // For large datasets
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatically used by cache manager
|
||||
cacheManager.setStorageAdapters(storageAdapter, batchOps)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Intelligent Prefetching
|
||||
|
||||
The system analyzes HNSW graph connectivity to predict which nodes will be accessed next:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Prefetch connected nodes based on graph structure
|
||||
const prefetchResult = await batchOps.prefetchConnectedNodes(
|
||||
currentNodeIds,
|
||||
connectionMap,
|
||||
'nodes/'
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Environment Optimizations
|
||||
|
||||
- **Browser**: Smaller batch sizes, prioritizes memory efficiency
|
||||
- **Node.js**: Larger batches, optimizes for throughput
|
||||
- **Serverless**: Minimizes cold start impact, aggressive caching
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Read-Only Storage Optimizations (`readOnlyOptimizations.ts`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Advanced compression and memory-mapping optimizations for production deployments where the index doesn't change frequently.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Compression Methods
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | Method | Reduction | Speed | Use Case |
|
||||
|------|--------|-----------|-------|----------|
|
||||
| Vector | Scalar Quantization (8-bit) | 75% | Fast | General purpose |
|
||||
| Vector | Product Quantization | 90%+ | Medium | Large datasets |
|
||||
| Vector | Binary Quantization | 97% | Very fast | Similarity search |
|
||||
| Metadata | GZIP | 60-80% | Fast | JSON metadata |
|
||||
| Metadata | Brotli | 70-85% | Medium | Static content |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface ReadOnlyConfig {
|
||||
compression: {
|
||||
vectorCompression: CompressionType // 'quantization' recommended
|
||||
metadataCompression: CompressionType // 'gzip' recommended
|
||||
quantizationType?: 'scalar' | 'product' | 'binary'
|
||||
quantizationBits?: number // default: 8
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Segmentation
|
||||
segmentSize?: number // default: 10000 nodes per segment
|
||||
prefetchSegments?: number // default: 3
|
||||
|
||||
// Memory management
|
||||
memoryMapped?: boolean // default: true
|
||||
cacheIndexInMemory?: boolean // auto-configured by memory budget
|
||||
|
||||
// Pre-built indices
|
||||
prebuiltIndexPath?: string // path to pre-built segments
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Usage Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**High-Compression Setup** (for memory-constrained environments):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const readOnlyOpts = new ReadOnlyOptimizations({
|
||||
compression: {
|
||||
vectorCompression: CompressionType.QUANTIZATION,
|
||||
metadataCompression: CompressionType.GZIP,
|
||||
quantizationType: QuantizationType.SCALAR,
|
||||
quantizationBits: 8
|
||||
},
|
||||
segmentSize: 5000, // Smaller segments
|
||||
cacheIndexInMemory: false // Use disk-based storage
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**High-Performance Setup** (for speed-critical applications):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const readOnlyOpts = new ReadOnlyOptimizations({
|
||||
compression: {
|
||||
vectorCompression: CompressionType.NONE, // No compression overhead
|
||||
metadataCompression: CompressionType.GZIP // Still compress metadata
|
||||
},
|
||||
segmentSize: 20000, // Larger segments
|
||||
cacheIndexInMemory: true, // Keep in memory
|
||||
prefetchSegments: 5 // Aggressive prefetching
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Memory-Mapped Buffers
|
||||
|
||||
For very large datasets, the system supports memory-mapped buffers that allow the OS to manage memory more efficiently:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Automatically manages memory mapping based on segment access patterns
|
||||
const nodes = await readOnlyOpts.loadSegment('segment_0')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment-Specific Configuration Guide

maxMemoryUsage: 512 * 1024 * 1024, // 512MB
|
||||
targetSearchLatency: 200,
|
||||
|
||||
// Browser-optimized settings
|
||||
enableCompression: true,
|
||||
partitionConfig: {
|
||||
maxNodesPerPartition: 10000,
|
||||
partitionStrategy: 'hash' // Simple, memory-efficient
|
||||
}
|

|
||||
region: 'us-east-1',
|
||||
// ... credentials
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Automatic Adaptations**:
|
||||
- Prioritizes S3 storage over local filesystem

## Performance Tuning Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitoring and Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
All optimizations provide comprehensive performance metrics:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const system = createScaledHNSWSystem(config)
|
||||
|
||||
// Get detailed performance metrics
|
||||
const metrics = system.getPerformanceMetrics()
|
||||
console.log(metrics.averageSearchTime)
|
||||
console.log(metrics.cacheHitRate)
|
||||
console.log(metrics.compressionRatio)
|
||||
|
||||
// Get system status
|
||||
const report = system.generatePerformanceReport()
|
||||
console.log(report) // Detailed text report
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Performance Issues and Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
#### High Search Latency
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Search times consistently above target
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
1. Increase `maxConcurrentSearches` for distributed search
|
||||
2. Enable compression to reduce I/O
|
||||
3. Tune `efSearch` parameter (lower for speed, higher for recall)
|
||||
4. Consider more aggressive partitioning
|
||||
|
||||
#### High Memory Usage
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Approaching memory budget limits
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
1. Enable compression (`enableCompression: true`)
|
||||
2. Reduce cache sizes (`hotCacheMaxSize`, `warmCacheMaxSize`)
|
||||
3. Use smaller partition sizes (`maxNodesPerPartition`)
|
||||
4. Enable disk-based caching (`diskCacheEnabled: true`)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Poor Cache Hit Rates
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Cache hit rate below 70%
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
1. Increase cache sizes if memory allows
|
||||
2. Enable predictive prefetching
|
||||
3. Use semantic partitioning for better locality
|
||||
4. Tune prefetch batch sizes
|
||||
|
||||
#### High S3 API Costs
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Excessive S3 requests
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
1. Enable batch operations (automatically enabled)
|
||||
2. Increase prefetch sizes
|
||||
3. Use compression to reduce object count
|
||||
4. Consider read-only optimizations for static data
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Tuning Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Memory-Constrained Environment**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const config: ScaledHNSWConfig = {
|
||||
expectedDatasetSize: 100000,
|
||||
maxMemoryUsage: 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, // 1GB limit
|
||||
targetSearchLatency: 300, // More lenient
|
||||
|
||||
enableCompression: true,
|
||||
partitionConfig: {
|
||||
maxNodesPerPartition: 20000, // Smaller partitions
|
||||
partitionStrategy: 'hash'
|
||||
},
|
||||
hnswConfig: {
|
||||
M: 16, // Lower connectivity
|
||||
efConstruction: 200
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**High-Throughput Environment**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const config: ScaledHNSWConfig = {
|
||||
expectedDatasetSize: 2000000,
|
||||
maxMemoryUsage: 16 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, // 16GB
|
||||
targetSearchLatency: 50, // Aggressive target
|
||||
|
||||
enableDistributedSearch: true,
|
||||
partitionConfig: {
|
||||
maxNodesPerPartition: 100000, // Large partitions
|
||||
partitionStrategy: 'semantic',
|
||||
semanticClusters: 32
|
||||
},
|
||||
hnswConfig: {
|
||||
M: 48, // High connectivity
|
||||
efConstruction: 500,
|
||||
dynamicParameterTuning: true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### From Basic HNSW to Optimized System
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Replace basic HNSW instantiation**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Old
|
||||
const index = new HNSWIndex(config, distanceFunction)
|
||||
|
||||
// New
|
||||
const system = createScaledHNSWSystem({
|
||||
expectedDatasetSize: yourDataSize,
|
||||
maxMemoryUsage: yourMemoryBudget,
|
||||
targetSearchLatency: yourTarget
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Update search calls**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Old
|
||||
const results = await index.search(vector, k)
|
||||
|
||||
// New - same interface!
|
||||
const results = await system.search(vector, k)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Add performance monitoring**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Monitor system performance
|
||||
setInterval(() => {
|
||||
const metrics = system.getPerformanceMetrics()
|
||||
if (metrics.averageSearchTime > targetLatency * 1.2) {
|
||||
console.warn('Performance degradation detected')
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, 60000)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Gradual Optimization Adoption
|
||||
|
||||
You can enable optimizations incrementally:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Start with basic optimizations
|
||||
const system = createScaledHNSWSystem({
|
||||
expectedDatasetSize: 100000,
|
||||
maxMemoryUsage: 4 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024,
|
||||
targetSearchLatency: 200,
|
||||
|
||||
// Enable selectively
|
||||
enablePartitioning: true,
|
||||
enableCompression: false, // Start without compression
|
||||
enableDistributedSearch: false, // Add later
|
||||
enablePredictiveCaching: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Later, enable more optimizations
|
||||
// system.config.enableDistributedSearch = true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**"System not properly initialized"**
|
||||
- Ensure `expectedDatasetSize` is set
|
||||
- Check that initialization completed before first use
|
||||
|
||||
**"Search timeout" errors**
|
||||
- Increase `searchTimeout` in distributed search config
|
||||
- Reduce `maxConcurrentSearches` if resource-constrained
|
||||
|
||||
**High memory usage warnings**
|
||||
- Enable compression
|
||||
- Reduce partition sizes
|
||||
- Check for memory leaks in long-running processes
|
||||
|
||||
**Poor search quality**
|
||||
- Increase `efSearch` parameter
|
||||
- Use semantic partitioning instead of hash
|
||||
- Enable dynamic parameter tuning
|
||||
|
||||
### Debug Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Enable detailed logging for troubleshooting:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Set environment variable or global flag
|
||||
process.env.BRAINY_DEBUG = 'true'
|
||||
|
||||
// Or configure logging in system
|
||||
const system = createScaledHNSWSystem({
|
||||
// ... config
|
||||
performanceTracking: true, // Detailed metrics
|
||||
statisticsCollection: true // Usage patterns
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This comprehensive optimization suite provides the foundation for handling large-scale vector search workloads across all deployment environments while maintaining the simple API that makes Brainy easy to use.
