> As for the usefulness of accessing quantized bytes directly - we have specific use cases, such as returning the vectors themselves when requested in a query. I would assume the caller would want something akin to the `float` values. What would a caller be expected to do with the quantized bytes directly? I am saying that returning the quantized bytes, without knowing all the other information (quantized technique, the technique's parameters, etc.) is pretty useless. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
