I would like to suggest that we reintroduce `getSlice`. The `getSlice` method is critical to any serious implementation that wants to take things into its own hands. The `getSlice` methods allows to store and retrieve additional metadata per vector, say, like for example the current int8 SQ does (with the per-vector float offset values). The interfaces here are "expert", so I see no issue `getSlice`. While not inconceivable or a requirement of this work, I would expect that it be possible to rewrite the existing int8 SQ atop this interface, which is a good reason why `getSlice` should be reintroduced. ( I also eventually want to move towards direct off-heap access, but that is orthogonal ) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
