From ebd8b1d15851d146913faea3774cf8474e4ba8dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ivan Voras Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 17:35:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Fix IVF index correctness bugs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Four bugs in the IVF index could corrupt data or return wrong results: - Slot allocation was append-only (slot = n_vectors), so after any delete left an interior hole, a later insert overwrote a live vector — corrupting its data and dropping the row from KNN results. Allocate the first free slot from the validity bitmap instead. - assign-vectors walked the centroid array with a D-byte stride instead of D*sizeof(float), so every centroid past index 0 was garbage, and it mapped the nearest-centroid array index directly to a centroid id (wrong for the non-contiguous ids that set-centroid allows). It also treated quantized cell blobs as float32. Now operates entirely in quantized space with the correct stride and an id lookup array. - clear-centroids re-inserted raw float32 bytes into quantized cells without re-quantizing, corrupting every vector on a quantized index. - set-centroid stored full-precision centroids that mismatched the quantized cell vector size, breaking subsequent inserts. Now stores the quantized representation. Also make ivf_distance dispatch int8 to L1/cosine/L2 by the column's distance metric (was always L2), and remove a dead undefined-behavior ivf_ensure_stmt call in ivf_cell_find_or_create.

Reconstruct it from git history. While fixing it: - tests/sqlite-vec-internal.h re-declares struct VectorColumnDefinition for the test translation unit; its Vec0RescoreConfig was missing the oversample_search field present in sqlite-vec.c. The size mismatch shifted the ivf/diskann fields and made vec0_parse_vector_column scribble past the caller's struct (stack smash). Add the missing field. - The test-unit target now defines SQLITE_VEC_EXPERIMENTAL_IVF_ENABLE=1 so the IVF unit tests link and run. - The rescore int8 quantizer is a fixed [-1,1] -> [-128,127] map, not the adaptive min/max the historical test assumed; update those assertions. - Add the #included index sources (sqlite-vec-ivf*.c, sqlite-vec-rescore.c, sqlite-vec-diskann.c) as prerequisites of the loadable/static targets so edits to them trigger a rebuild.

This + is precisely why an approximate index becomes more valuable as vectors grow. +- **`rescore` with bit quantization jumps from 1.7x to 6.8x.** Its coarse scan + reads a 1-bit-per-dimension copy — 32x smaller than float32 — and that memory + saving matters far more when each full vector is 4 KB. It becomes as fast + as IVF, though bit quantization is lossy, so recover recall by raising + `oversample`. +- **IVF keeps its 2–7x speedup** with the same tunable recall/speed trade-off + via `nprobe`. +- **`rescore` with int8 preserves near-perfect recall** (0.994) at a latency + cost, since it still touches every vector in the coarse pass. +- **DiskANN's per-row insert cost scales poorly with dimension** (roughly 68s to + load 20k rows at 256-dim vs 250s at 1024-dim). Graph indexes are designed for + much larger collections than this benchmark and, for bulk loads, the batched + insert path (`buffer_threshold`) rather than the default per-row path. + +> **Note on recall:** the recall figures above use synthetic Gaussian clusters, +> whose neighborhoods overlap heavily at high dimensionality (the "curse of +> dimensionality"), so the 1024-dim recall looks pessimistic. Real embeddings +> carry genuine semantic structure and recall considerably better — treat these +> tables as a latency/throughput comparison rather than an absolute recall +> guide, and always measure recall on your own data. + ## Sponsors Development of `sqlite-vec` is supported by multiple generous sponsors!
