jtibshirani opened a new issue, #11758: URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/11758
### Description This issue tracks ideas for refactors as a follow-up to #11613, where we added support for 8-bit vector values: * We extended `KnnVectorsWriter` to be generic, accepting both `float[]` and `BytesRef` values. It'd be good to explore simplifying the write API to remove these generics. * We now switch on `VectorEncoding` in several places during graph building and search. Is there a way to encapsulate this better? Maybe there could be a helper class that knows the encoding and can perform distance computations, so that `HnswGraphBuilder` and `HnswGraphSearcher` don't need to know about the encoding. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
