Any possibilities of providing an in-mem vectra db?

[siddharth178]

Hi,

I am trying to work on a use-case where I will not have access to local storage. Vectra uses files as its index store. But is there a way to use memory as index store?

Any thoughts? suggestions?

Thanks,

Could you use /dev/shm (or similar) for the path passed to new LocalIndex() ?

I'll work on adding in-memory support. I should have some time next week to get that in

Also looking to consume Vectra indexes in a browser environment. Will be a great addition!

@Stevenic check out Origin Private File System. This could bring browser + permanent storage.

I guess you need to scan and traverse all the files and folder structure is just to make writes safer?

@Mihailoff in-memory storage is coming in the next build 0.13.0

@iplanwebsites that's on my todo list... hopefully the build after 0.13.0... Although with 0.13.0 it would be easy enough to implement your own Browser Storage based FileStorage implimentaton

@siddharth178 better late then never... I'm back at Microsoft now so have more time to work on Vectra. In-Memory storage is in PR for the next release.
