Move knowhere out of Milvus as a independent oss project
Performance Boosting:. Goal → 10ms e2e latency under small data size(Minimize the overhead), 10000 + QPS for 100m 768 dim vectors(Maximize Throughput)
Full Performance benchmark
Performance bottle neck removal
In Memory RPC under standalone mode
change grpc into a new implementation
Request combination
Merge multiple small nq request into a large nq request to improve throughput
Ease of use:
Support Milvus Standalone as a single process
Support Milvus as a python embedded library.
Dev && run milvus on Mac and Arm server
C++/Restful SDKs
Other community improvements
Membership
Mentorship
Looking for volunteers on refine technical documentation
