You can get it to use the index and still do pre-filtering with a query like this:
SELECT
segment.*,
embedding <=> :embedding AS distance
FROM
segment
INNER JOIN
asset ON segment.asset_id = asset.id
WHERE
distance < 0.99
AND segment.category = 'visual'
AND asset.collection_id = :collection_id
ORDER BY
embedding <=> :embedding
LIMIT 100
This will still be slower than the post-filtering approach because it needs to evaluate the cosine distance for (potentially many) assets in the WHERE condition, but the recall should be correct.
I used embedding <=> :embedding
instead of distance
for ordering because I remember this being necessary for the index to get used. If the query plan is the same with distance
, feel free to use that instead.
from pgvecto.rs.
I think it's because the limit is 100, but there are only 96 results that meet the threshold. It will end up checking every embedding in the table to find another 4 matches. Setting the limit to 96 should be much faster.
I wonder if a way to stop early would help performance here. The ordering should be informative of when there's no longer a point to keep searching.
from pgvecto.rs.
The last SQL should be the right one. Does it still return only one result? Or multiple results but to be slow? And vector index is an approximate index which means the results might not be the exact same as the exact one (without using the index).'
For your cases, if you don't have too many categories, you can put category_id and vector in one table and create partial index on each category. This will accelerate the filter condition.
from pgvecto.rs.
Unfortunately it's hard to co-optimize the vector search and filter condition together. We have some internal experiments and only a very limited cases can have improvments.

@mertalev Have you had success running that exact query? When I tried running it, I get this error saying "distance" is not defined:
ERROR: column "distance" does not exist
LINE 10: distance < 0.99
I also tried another variant of what you suggested but ran into the same error:
WITH distances AS (
SELECT
segment.*,
embedding <=> :embedding
AS distance
FROM
segment
INNER JOIN
asset ON segment.asset_id = asset.id
WHERE
distance < 0.99
AND segment.category = 'visual'
AND asset.collection_id = :collection_id
ORDER BY
embedding <=> :embedding
)
SELECT distances.id, distances.distance, distances.category
FROM distances
LIMIT 100
;
from pgvecto.rs.
@VoVAllen the last SQL I'd shared in the opening comment does give correct number of results, and yes I'm keeping in mind that the index gives approx matches so the results won't necessarily be identical to brute force.
It takes ~16.2s to run
Here's the query plan visualised:

I see. I'm slightly confused by this, because I was under the impression that this was one of the promises of the VBASE algorithm? Are there ways you would adjust what my query is trying to achieve to leverage the indexes and vbase correctly that I'm missing out on?
from pgvecto.rs.
Just a thought: are compound indexes with a vector + non-vector column supported? If so, perhaps that could help?
if you don't have too many categories, you can put category_id and vector in one table and create partial index on each category. This will accelerate the filter condition.
Unfortunately, I don't think this will work for our use case
from pgvecto.rs.
Did some further experiments, and we found that returning the distance itself in a new column has negligible cost, and the part of the query responsible for the slowdown is the WHERE distance < 0.99
To be more speicifc, the commented out line is responsible for this query to go from 269ms -> 16200ms:

@rsomani95 Sorry, the earlier one was from memory. The corrected query is this:
SELECT
segment.*
FROM
segment
INNER JOIN
asset ON segment.asset_id = asset.id
WHERE
embedding <=> :embedding < 0.99
AND segment.category = 'visual'
AND asset.collection_id = :collection_id
ORDER BY
embedding <=> :embedding
LIMIT 100;
from pgvecto.rs.
@mertalev thank you.
This query seems to have similar results to my last comment, where it takes ~16.2s, and removing the embedding <=> :embedding < 0.99
takes ~375ms
