> This isn't how it works: you should create an outer format for each variation. > > We can't support backwards compatibility for custom formats. More context: Currently we do have outer HNSW format wrappers for each variation of flat vectors format. But in order to do so we are creating multiple duplicates of `Lucene99HnswVectorsFormat` with the only change being the flat vectors format. This means losing out on any future updates `Lucene99HnswVectorsFormat` and manually getting the changes for each variation. Can you please elaborate on your point regarding backward compatibility concerns? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
