Overview

Vearch is a scalable distributed system for efficient similarity search of deep learning vectors.

Architecture

arc

  • Data Model

    space, documents, vectors, scalars

  • Components

    Master, Router and PartitionServer

  • Master

    Responsible for schema mananagement, cluster-level metadata, and resource coordination.

  • Router

    Provides RESTful API: create , delete search and update ; request routing, and result merging.

  • PartitionServer (PS)

    Hosts document partitions with raft-based replication.

    Gamma is the core vector search engine implemented based on faiss. It provides the ability of storing, indexing and retrieving the vectors and scalars.

Quick start

  • Quickly build a distributed vector search system with RESTful API, please see docs/Deploy.md.

  • Vearch can be leveraged to build a complete visual search system to index billions of images. The image retrieval plugin for object detection and feature extraction is also required. For more information, please refer to docs/Quickstart.md.
