@Pulkitg64 also, thank you for doing an initial pass and benchmarking, its important data :D. I wonder if we want a true element type vs. a new format? The element type has indeed expanded its various uses, but for many of them, Float16 isn't that much different than float (e.g. you still likely query & index with `float[]`, still use `FloatVectorValues`, etc.). The only difference is the on disk representation (which...seems like a format thing). This is just an idea. I am not 100% sold either way.
