[Core] VectorField and VectorCondition

[alexander-schranz]

Some search engines support vector based search which we could support @experimental feature for now:

Engines:

• Elasticsearch
• Redisearch
• Meilisearch (1.3.0: https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/releases/tag/v1.3.0)

Others need to be checked.

• Algolia
• Loupe
• Solr
• Typesense
• Opensearch (maybe: k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN))

@alexander-schranz Any update on or plan to add support for this, especially supporting vector field type for redisearch adapter shortly?

[alexander-schranz]

@junaidbinfarooq I can not give you any time when this will be supported. It first requires some kind of research how to support such things in the different search engines which are currently supported by SEAL. If you want to help here links to to different documentation of the different search engines vector types and search documentation will help to move this issue forward.

@alexander-schranz
Sorry, I do not understand your comment fully. Could you clarify what sort of help would you like from me? I would love to offer some help provided I can.

@junaidbinfarooq Finding documentation about vector support in the following engines:

• Elasticsearch
• Redisearch
• Meilisearch
• Algolia
• Loupe
• Solr
• Typesense
• Opensearch

As example Meilisearch: https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/experimental/vector_search

The links should answer us following questions:

• How can we create a vector field?
• How can we search a vector field?
• Is only one or multiple vector fields supported?

This we need to findout for all the search engines.

[junaidbinfarooq]

Cool, let me go through the documentation sites of the above search engines to see if they do support vectors or not, and then come back hopefully with some (at least) links.

Here is a list of links that I could collect while searching for vector support in the search engines mentioned in the PR description:

1. Elasticsearch
2. Redisearch or this
3. Meilisearch (Referenced from pr description itself)
4. Algolia (Not sure if this is what we need though)
5. Solr
6. Typesense
7. Opensearch
