Motivation
In 7.6.2, the server will support base64 encoding of vectors in addition to array type "vector". The new encoding type will be accepted via the parameter "vector_base64" in the vector search query.
Changes
VectorQuerythat accepts a string which represents a base64 encoded sequence of little-endian IEEE 754 floats. This is then forwarded as-is in the vector search query using the"vector_base64" parameter.f72a089which includes raisingFeatureNotAvailableinSearchIndexManager#upsert_index&ScopeSearchIndexManager#upsert_indexwhen upserting indexes with vector definitions to servers that do not support it.Results
All vector search tests in FIT pass
