Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-9855:
-------------------------------------
the "strategy" is a huge antipattern. lets split into separate codecs so that
?????Format has a real api. right now its too difficult to improve the
implementation (and there are massive memory inefficiencies) or even provide
different options. too much stuff tangled into one format. its so bad that we
cant even name it.
> Reconsider codec name VectorFormat

> Main points here are 1) use plural form for consistency, and 2) use more
> specific name for ann search (second point could be optional).
> A few alternatives were proposed:
> - VectorsFormat
> - VectorValuesFormat
> - NeighborsFormat
> - DenseVectorsFormat
