navneet1v opened a new issue, #14247: URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/14247
## Description Currently KnnFloatVectorField(float/byte) supports only passing Vector information(which includes dim etc). But sometime you need to pass some more extra information with vector the vector field which will be helpful in building the efficient search data structures. A naive example for this can be a tenant id where you might want to cluster the points specific to a tenant in the hnsw graph. The ask for this issue is to have a byte array/or some thing similar that can be passed with the vector field and can be made accessible at the KNNVectorsFormat level. ## Alternatives I tried passing the information in another field like a BinaryDocValues, but during indexing at the KNNVectorsFormat we don't have access to the BDV. If there is an alternative way to access which I might be missing, please let me know. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
