Description
Amazon OpenSearch's k-NN plugin enables scalable and efficient vector search using approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) algorithms such as IVF and HNSW directly within a managed OpenSearch cluster. This is particularly useful for building, querying, and scaling vector databases on AWS.
Features
- Vector Search (k-NN): Implements k-nearest neighbors search to find the closest vectors to a query point in an index.
- Approximate k-NN (ANN) Algorithms: Supports efficient, scalable approximate search using algorithms like IVF and HNSW. Offers trade-offs between speed, accuracy, and resource usage.
- Exact k-NN Search: Provides brute-force search for exact nearest neighbors, with options for scoring scripts and Painless scripting extensions for custom distance functions.
- Multiple Distance Functions: Allows specification of the distance metric (space) for neighbor calculation.
- Automatic Backend Selection: Chooses the optimal engine and configuration based on selected mode and available memory.
- Sparse Vector Search (Neural Sparse Search): Supports efficient semantic search using sparse embedding models and inverted indexes, with options for automatic embedding generation or direct ingestion.
- Hybrid Search: Combines traditional keyword search with vector-based semantic search for improved relevance, using configurable search pipelines that can normalize and combine scores from multiple techniques.
- Customizable Search Pipelines: Enables post-filtering, aggregations, and complex query customizations within hybrid search workflows.
- Integration with AWS Managed OpenSearch: Directly usable within AWS managed OpenSearch clusters.
- Optimized for Large and Small Datasets: ANN methods for large datasets, exact search and custom scoring for smaller or filtered datasets, and flexible scripting for complex use cases.
