Honestly don’t understand the hype over pure vector databases. Vector is more useful in a pre-existing standard like SQL. MariaDB server for example has vector through InnoDB and TidesDB and the ability to utilize both engines so you get read. write and space optimized engines with FTS and more. Seems way more effective to be able to have all the server jazz, predicates, sharding, replication, backups and many different kinds of engines to handle different workloads and indexing.
