Public Types inherited from faiss::Index
typedef long | idx_t
| all indices are this type

## Detailed Description

Index that concatenates the results from several sub-indexes

Definition at line 83 of file MetaIndexes.h.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

faiss::IndexShards::IndexShards | ( | idx_t | d,
|  | bool | threaded = `false`,
|  | bool | successive_ids = `true`
| ) |  |

explicit

Parameters

  threaded | do we use one thread per sub_index or do queries sequentially?
  successive_ids | should we shift the returned ids by the size of each sub-index or return them as they are?

Definition at line 355 of file MetaIndexes.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

void faiss::IndexShards::add_with_ids | ( | idx_t | n,
|  | const float * | x,
|  | const long * | xids
| ) |  |

override virtual

Cases (successive_ids, xids):

- true, non-NULL ERROR: it makes no sense to pass in ids and request them to be shifted
- true, NULL OK, but should be called only once (calls add() on sub-indexes).
- false, non-NULL OK: will call add_with_ids with passed in xids distributed evenly over shards
- false, NULL OK: will call add_with_ids on each sub-index, starting at ntotal

Reimplemented from faiss::Index.

void faiss::IndexShards::search | ( | idx_t | n,
|  | const float * | x,
|  | idx_t | k,
|  | float * | distances,
|  | idx_t * | labels
| ) |  | const

override virtual

query n vectors of dimension d to the index.

return at most k vectors. If there are not enough results for a query, the result array is padded with -1s.

Parameters

  x | input vectors to search, size n * d
  labels | output labels of the NNs, size n*k
  distances | output pairwise distances, size n*k

Implements faiss::Index.

Definition at line 486 of file MetaIndexes.cpp.

void faiss::IndexShards::train | ( | idx_t | ,
|  | const float * |
| ) |  |

override virtual

Perform training on a representative set of vectors

Parameters

  n | nb of training vectors
  x | training vecors, size n * d
