Hybrid Vector Scalar Filtering With Sql Query Planning

via “hybrid vector-scalar filtering with sql query planning”

A lightweight, lightning-fast, in-process vector database

Unique: Implements a cost-based query planner that estimates filter selectivity and vector search cost to automatically decide pre-filter vs post-filter strategies, avoiding the manual tuning required by simpler systems that always apply filters in a fixed order

vs others: More flexible than Pinecone's metadata filtering because it supports arbitrary boolean expressions and optimizes filter placement, while simpler than Elasticsearch because it avoids the overhead of maintaining separate inverted indexes for scalar fields
