# High-Performance Vector Store Usage
This guide demonstrates how to leverage the new high-performance features of the Semantica Vector Store, specifically designed for efficient batch processing and parallel ingestion of large document sets.
## 🚀 Key Features
- **Parallel Ingestion**: Utilize multi-threading to embed and store documents concurrently.
- **Batch Processing**: Automatically group documents into batches to minimize overhead.
- **Unified API**: A single `add_documents` method handles embedding generation and storage.
---
## ⚡ Quick Start: Parallel Ingestion
The fastest way to ingest documents is using the `add_documents` method. Parallelization is enabled by default with optimized settings (6 workers).
```python
from semantica.vector_store import VectorStore
import time
store = VectorStore(
backend="faiss",
dimension=768,
)
documents = [f"This is document number {i} with some content." for i in range(1000)]
metadata = [{"source": "generated", "id": i} for i in range(1000)]
start_time = time.time()
ids = store.add_documents(
documents=documents,
metadata=metadata,
batch_size=64,
parallel=True,
)
print(f"Ingested {len(ids)} documents in {time.time() - start_time:.2f}s")
```
---
## 📊 Performance Comparison
### Old Method (Sequential Loop)
*Slower due to sequential processing and overhead per single item.*
```python
for doc in documents:
emb = embedder.generate(doc)
store.store_vectors([emb], [{"text": doc}])
```
### New Method (Parallel Batching)
*Significantly faster (3x-10x) by utilizing thread pools and batch operations.*
```python
store.add_documents(documents, parallel=True)
```
---
## 🛠 Configuration & Tuning
### `max_workers`
Controls the number of concurrent threads used for embedding generation.
- **Default**: 6 (Optimized for most systems)
- **Recommendation**: You generally don't need to change this. If you have very high core counts or specific throughput needs, you can override it.
```python
store = VectorStore(max_workers=16)
```
### `batch_size`
Controls how many documents are processed in a single chunk.
- **Default**: 32
- **Recommendation**:
- **Local Models**: 32-64 usually works well.
- **API Models (OpenAI, etc.)**: Larger batches (e.g., 100-200) can reduce network latency overhead.
```python
store.add_documents(documents, batch_size=100)
```
---
## 🧩 Advanced: Manual Batch Embedding
If you need the embeddings without storing them immediately, use `embed_batch`.
```python
vectors = store.embed_batch(
texts=documents[:100],
)
print(f"Generated {len(vectors)} vectors")
```
## ⚠️ Best Practices
1. **Metadata Consistency**: Ensure your `metadata` list has the same length as your `documents` list.
2. **Error Handling**: The `add_documents` method will propagate exceptions if embedding fails. Ensure your data is clean.
3. **Memory Usage**: Very large `batch_size` combined with high `max_workers` can increase memory usage. Monitor your system resources.
