What is the best ANN search solution with metadata pre-filtering?

5 pointsmanadu1 comment

Hi HN, Now that Elasticsearch supports ANN search with pre-filtering, version 8.2 onward, and there are many open source solutions such as Vespa, Weaviate, etc. that could also be easily hosted, what is a good solution to choose for a production system? Is there any benchmarking/comparisons that could be referred to in order to make the choice?

For Weaviate, you can check: https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/current/benchmarks/a... This is not a benchmark against other OSS solutions, but it gives you an understanding of what performance you can expect.

For production this might be helpful: https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/current/getting-star...
