Does 2.4.10 really support different index type besides brute-force? #220

I looked into the code, segcore_wrapper always create Growing segment, and growing segment only use brute-force in search? If it's true, do you have plan to support different index type.

Yes, since sealed segment relies on complex logic such as binlog and compaction, milvus-lite does not integrate, brute-force performs well when the data size is hundreds of thousands, so the support priority for the index is not high.

still hope to support various types of indexing, as the index type is an important concept in vector databases (if not a key concept). Perhaps the implementation could be simplified? :flushed:

We will start work on this once 2.5 is released. Please hold this for a while
