Why not use usearch instead of hnswlib similar to the official Clockhouse vector implementation?



Since we developed our internal version before the release of usearch, we integrated hnswlib with faiss's PQ/SQ algorithms. Search performance is typically not a concern in real-world applications, especially for those using LLMs due to their high latency. We highly recommend Google's scann algorithm (integrated into MyScaleDB) as it is much faster for indexing and offers similar search performance to hnsw.
