What it shows

  • Consistent hashing distributes vector partitions evenly across nodes.
  • Scatter-gather query execution executes parallel searches under 15ms.
  • Coordinator nodes aggregate and deduplicate top-K candidates seamlessly.

The takeaway

Shard vectors horizontally with consistent hashing and merge top-K partitions on a central router.
