From 480a72115a04bea5e6dd0661670d8be7713fcff6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ruvnet Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 22:13:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat(ruvector-diskann):=20land=20disk-backed=20?= =?UTF-8?q?rerank=20=E2=80=94=20DRAM=20compression=20now=20real?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Closes the gap PR #384 deferred: today's `DiskAnnConfig::with_originals_in_memory(false)` returns `InvalidConfig`. After this PR, the option works and the index holds quantized codes + graph in DRAM while the final exact-L2² rerank reads originals from a memory-mapped sidecar file. Delivers the 17.5× DRAM compression target the research roadmap projected (`docs/research/rabitq-integration/05-roadmap.md` Phase 1). ## Measured DRAM compression D=128, n=2000, RaBitQ: codes = 40 000 B (40 KB) originals (in-memory) = 1 024 000 B (1 MB) ratio = 25.60× (exceeds 17.5× target) originals (disk-backed) = 0 DRAM bytes (kernel-owned mmap; reads through page cache on demand) The disk-backed variant pays only the codes + graph + mmap-handle size in DRAM. Originals live in `.originals` as a raw f32 layout with a 24-byte header. ## What changes 1. **`OriginalsStore` enum** — `InMemory(FlatVectors)` | `DiskBacked { mmap, n, dim }`. Enum chosen over `Box` for: - Monomorphic dispatch on the rerank hot path - Automatic `Send + Sync` (both `Vec` and `Mmap` are) - One less indirection The trait the brief described would be equivalent in expressiveness; the enum was just lower-friction. 2. **`memmap2 = "0.9"`** — already in the workspace and an existing direct dep of ruvector-diskann. No new workspace deps. 3. **Builder wiring** — `with_originals_in_memory(false)` now requires `storage_path` and validates at `build()` time with `InvalidConfig` if absent. Default `true` behavior unchanged. 4. **`build()`** writes `.originals` (header + f32 payload), mmaps it, drops the in-memory `FlatVectors`. The sidecar header is `[u32 magic][u32 version][u32 dim][u32 n] [8 bytes pad]`. 5. **`load()`** checks for the sidecar; if it exists AND the saved config marks `keep_originals_in_memory: false`, mmaps it and skips the heap copy. v1 indexes (no sidecar) fall back to the read-into-Vec path for full back-compat. 6. **`search()`** reranks through `OriginalsStore::read(pos, &mut buf)` regardless of variant. The traversal layer (PR #384) needs no change. ## One observation worth recording The pre-PR `load()` was already mmapping `vectors.bin`, then immediately copying it byte-by-byte into a heap `Vec` (lines 574-579 of the pre-edit file). The mmap was retained but never read again — the field served no functional purpose, only kept the file descriptor alive. This PR turns that latent mmap into the active reader (via the sidecar) and the v1 path becomes the legacy fallback. ## Verification cargo build --workspace → 0 errors cargo build -p ruvector-diskann --no-default-features → OK cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --no-deps -- -D warnings → exit 0 cargo fmt --all --check → exit 0 cargo test -p ruvector-diskann --features rabitq → 35 / 35 (was 30 in PR #384) cargo test -p ruvector-diskann --no-default-features → 19 / 19 New tests in `tests/disk_backed_rerank.rs`: - `disk_backed_yields_zero_dram_for_originals` - `disk_backed_compression_exceeds_17x_at_d128` - `disk_backed_recall_matches_in_memory` (≥ 0.85 floor maintained) - `disk_backed_save_load_round_trip_preserves_results` (uses PQ because RaBitQ persistence is a follow-up — see limitations) - `with_originals_in_memory_false_requires_storage_path` ## Limitations flagged 1. **RaBitQ codes still don't persist across save/load**. A reloaded RaBitQ-built index falls back to the f32 traversal path. The mmap loads correctly, but writing/reading the rotation matrix to disk is a separate follow-up. The save/load round-trip test uses PQ to avoid hitting this gap. 2. **`delete()` rejected on disk-backed indexes** (`InvalidConfig`). Writing through the mmap to NaN out a slot would break determinism guarantees under concurrent readers. Disk-backed callers must rebuild to delete; in-memory callers retain existing semantics. ## NAPI binding `ruvector-diskann-node/src/lib.rs` was untouched — the `..Default::default()` patch landed in PR #384 already absorbs the new `keep_originals_in_memory` field via its `Default` impl.
