    > My concern is that this proposal doesn’t truly add support for 
independent multi-vectors.
   
   That's a valid concern. I've been thinking about a more comprehensive 
multi-vector solution. Sharing some raw thoughts below, would love to get 
feedback.
   
   We support a default aggregation value of `NONE`, which builds the graph 
with independent multi-vectors. Each node will be a separate vector value. As a 
first change, we can just support this without creating an aggregation enum. 
(Adding a plan for indexing this in a follow-up comment).
   
   Once this is in place, we can add support for "dependent" multi-vector 
values like ColBERT. They'll take an aggregation function. Each graph node will 
represent all vectors for a document and use aggregated similarity (like in 
this PR). This will let us experiment with full ANN on ColBERT style 
multi-vectors.
