Public Interfaces(optional)
Design Details(required)
1. Current dependence
2. Decoupling
- The distributed layer doesn't directly depend on faiss and should access the unified interface of knowhere.
- Each index implementation should be independent.
- Move Knowhere to a new project.
2. Support compile on MAC
- Knowhere support a brute force search which is a kind of vector index and compiled on MAC & Ubuntu.
- Query and segcore module will depend on knowhere shared library.
