Write Index into memory or Read Index from memory

[ava57r]

Hello.

C++ Faiss supports some methods for saving a index into memory.

write into IOWriter https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/blob/main/faiss/index_io.h#L40 and impl VectorIOWriter https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/blob/main/faiss/impl/io.h#L59

read from IOReader https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/blob/main/faiss/index_io.h#L61 and impl VectorIOReader https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/blob/main/faiss/impl/io.h#L53

Could We add these impls into rust library?

We would be well served with standard Rust APIs for writers and readers, so that an index can be written to anything implementing std::io::Write and an index can be read from anything implementing std::io::Read. I am not fully familiar with how these data structures operate, but so long as they can work with preallocated input/output buffers, it should be possible to interoperate them.
