Distributed PyNNDescent #191

Open gorlando04 opened 2 years ago

gorlando04 commented 2 years ago

I'm doing a research about distributed ways do build the kNNG, and i am especifically studying NNDescent. When i tested the distributed-pynndescent, that is in the fork, i couldn't perform it. Is this algorithm ready or it is on development?

It is certainly in the category of "in development" rather than ready for mainstream use. It does also require dask, and ideally dask.distributed, including setting up a dask cluster with workers before running, which may be part of the issue.
