> If we use only post-filter in KnnVectorQuery, then we have to set k = Integer.MAX_VALUE (or another very big value) and calculate similarity with all vectors. So the complexity would be O(n). No, we don't have to do that. We can simply post-filter. Think of it like this - we want K matches with score > T. So we get the K top-scoring matches. If any have score less than T, we drop them. It's the same result as if we did the thresholding while collecting. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
