In the first part of the series, we presented an overview of the IVF-PQ algorithm and explained how it builds on top of the IVF-Flat algorithm, using the Product Quantization (PQ) technique to compress the index and support larger datasets. In this part two of the IVF-PQ post, we cover the practical aspects of tuning IVF-PQ performance. It’s worth noting again that IVF-PQ uses a lossy…

Parquet writers provide encoding and compression options that are turned off by default. Enabling these options may provide better lossless compression for your data, but understanding which options to use for your specific use case is critical to making sure they perform as intended. In this post, we explore which encoding and compression options work best for your string data.
