Expose HnswGraphBuilder index-time hyperparameters as FieldType attributes <!-- _(If you are a project committer then you may remove some/all of the following template.)_ Before creating a pull request, please file an issue in the ASF Jira system for Lucene or Solr: * https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/LUCENE * https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SOLR You will need to create an account in Jira in order to create an issue. The title of the PR should reference the Jira issue number in the form: * LUCENE-####: <short description of problem or changes> * SOLR-####: <short description of problem or changes> LUCENE and SOLR must be fully capitalized. A short description helps people scanning pull requests for items they can work on. Properly referencing the issue in the title ensures that Jira is correctly updated with code review comments and commits. --> # Description HnswGraphBuilder has a few tunables: maxConnections, beamWidth, and we may add a few more, such as whether to use a diversity heuristic when choosing neighbors to link in the graph. Currently these are locked to defaults set by global variables. Instead we should provide some interface for configuring them. # Solution Here with this change we allow to pass down these parameters as FieldType attributes of VectorFields as well provide a convenience method in VectorFields.java to add these parameters in FieldType attributes. The value passed in the attributes would be used in `Lucene90VectorWriter ` while creating a HNSW graph, in case no value is found we switch back to default parameter values present in `HnswGraphBuilder`. # Tests Updated way of setting these parameters in `KnnGraphTester.java` for testing indexing and search performance of a knn-graph. # Checklist Please review the following and check all that apply: - [x] I have reviewed the guidelines for [How to Contribute](https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute) and my code conforms to the standards described there to the best of my ability. - [x] I have created a Jira issue and added the issue ID to my pull request title. - [x] I have given Solr maintainers [access](https://help.github.com/en/articles/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork) to contribute to my PR branch.
