reasons for selecting `faiss.IndexFlatIP` #156

Hi, when utilising the faiss lib for KNN search, you choose faiss.IndexFlatIP, which has a relatively low performance compared with other indexes via faiss. Could you please share if you select IndexFlatIP based on some reasons, or it's worth encouraging to try the more time-effective index algorithms, e.g., HNSWx? Thanks!
