Review Comment:
   Taking for instance floatFieldSource, when there is no value for a specific 
document, the floatFieldSource returns a default value of 0. However, in the 
context of vectors, using a default vector like [0, 0, 0, ...] may not be 
suitable. Computing the distance between a vector and the origin vector can 
lead to misleading information.
