## Installation

```bash
pip install gigavector
```

Pre-built wheels for Linux (x86_64), macOS (x86_64 + arm64), and Windows (AMD64) are
published to PyPI. The wheel bundles the native library and all runtime DLLs — no
compiler or MinGW required.

**Building from source** requires a C toolchain. On Windows this means
[MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) with MinGW-w64 (`mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc`,
`mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake`, `mingw-w64-x86_64-make`) and `C:\msys64\mingw64\bin` on
`PATH`. MinGW is a build-time dependency only and is not needed at runtime.

## Quick Start

```python
from gigavector import Database, DistanceType, IndexType

# Create an in-memory database
with Database.open(None, dimension=128, index=IndexType.HNSW) as db:
    # Add vectors with metadata
    db.add_vector([0.1] * 128, metadata={"id": "vec1", "category": "A"})
    db.add_vector([0.2] * 128, metadata={"id": "vec2", "category": "B"})
    
    # Search for similar vectors
    hits = db.search([0.1] * 128, k=5, distance=DistanceType.EUCLIDEAN)
    for hit in hits:
        print(f"Distance: {hit.distance}, Metadata: {hit.vector.metadata}")
```

The main class for vector database operations.

#### `Database.open(path, dimension, index=IndexType.KDTREE)`

Create or open a database instance.

**Parameters:**
- `path` (str | None): File path for persistent storage. Use `None` for in-memory database.
- `dimension` (int): Vector dimension (must be consistent for all vectors).
- `index` (IndexType): Index type to use. Defaults to `IndexType.KDTREE`.

**Returns:** `Database` instance

**Example:**
```python
# In-memory database
db = Database.open(None, dimension=128, index=IndexType.HNSW)

# Persistent database
db = Database.open("vectors.db", dimension=128, index=IndexType.KDTREE)
```

#### `add_vector(vector, metadata=None)`

Add a single vector to the database.

**Parameters:**
- `vector` (Sequence[float]): Vector data as a sequence of floats. Length must match database dimension.
- `metadata` (dict[str, str] | None): Optional dictionary of key-value metadata pairs.

**Raises:**
- `ValueError`: If vector dimension doesn't match database dimension.
- `RuntimeError`: If insertion fails.

**Example:**
```python
# Vector without metadata
db.add_vector([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])

# Vector with single metadata entry
db.add_vector([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], metadata={"id": "123"})

# Vector with multiple metadata entries
db.add_vector([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], metadata={
    "id": "123",
    "category": "electronics",
    "price": "99.99"
})
```

#### `add_vectors(vectors)`

Add multiple vectors to the database in batch. Vectors added via this method cannot include metadata.

**Parameters:**
- `vectors` (Iterable[Sequence[float]]): Iterable of vectors. All vectors must have the same dimension.

**Raises:**
- `ValueError`: If vectors have inconsistent dimensions.
- `RuntimeError`: If batch insertion fails.

**Example:**
```python
vectors = [
    [1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
    [4.0, 5.0, 6.0],
    [7.0, 8.0, 9.0]
]
db.add_vectors(vectors)
```

#### `search(query, k, distance=DistanceType.EUCLIDEAN, filter_metadata=None)`

Search for k nearest neighbors to a query vector.

**Parameters:**
- `query` (Sequence[float]): Query vector. Length must match database dimension.
- `k` (int): Number of nearest neighbors to return.
- `distance` (DistanceType): Distance metric to use. Defaults to `DistanceType.EUCLIDEAN`.

**Returns:** `list[SearchHit]` - List of search results, ordered by distance (ascending).

**Raises:**
- `ValueError`: If query dimension doesn't match database dimension.
- `RuntimeError`: If search fails.

**Example:**
```python
# Basic search
hits = db.search([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], k=5, distance=DistanceType.EUCLIDEAN)

# Search with metadata filter
hits = db.search(
    [1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
    k=5,
    distance=DistanceType.EUCLIDEAN,
    filter_metadata=("category", "electronics")
)

Search for k nearest neighbors for multiple query vectors in batch.

**Parameters:**
- `queries` (Iterable[Sequence[float]]): Iterable of query vectors.
- `k` (int): Number of nearest neighbors to return per query.
- `distance` (DistanceType): Distance metric to use. Defaults to `DistanceType.EUCLIDEAN`.

**Returns:** `list[list[SearchHit]]` - List of search result lists, one per query.

**Raises:**
- `ValueError`: If any query dimension doesn't match database dimension.
- `RuntimeError`: If batch search fails.

**Example:**
```python
queries = [
    [1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
    [4.0, 5.0, 6.0]
]
results = db.search_batch(queries, k=5)
for i, hits in enumerate(results):
    print(f"Query {i}: {len(hits)} results")
```

#### `save(path=None)`

Persist the database to a binary snapshot file. If a file path was provided when opening the database, writes to that path. Otherwise, use the provided path.

**Parameters:**
- `path` (str | None): Optional file path. If None and database was opened with a path, uses that path.

**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If save operation fails.

**Example:**
```python
# Save to the path used when opening
db.save()

# Save to a different path
db.save("backup.db")
```

#### `train_ivfpq(data)`

Train the IVFPQ index with training vectors. Only applicable when using `IndexType.IVFPQ`.

**Parameters:**
- `data` (Sequence[Sequence[float]]): Training vectors. All vectors must match the database dimension.

**Raises:**
- `ValueError`: If training data is empty or dimensions don't match.
- `RuntimeError`: If training fails.

# Create a persistent database
with Database.open("vectors.db", dimension=128, index=IndexType.KDTREE) as db:
    db.add_vector([0.1] * 128, metadata={"id": "1", "tag": "A"})
    db.add_vector([0.2] * 128, metadata={"id": "2", "tag": "B"})
    db.save()  # Create snapshot

# Reopen - WAL automatically replays any uncommitted changes
with Database.open("vectors.db", dimension=128, index=IndexType.KDTREE) as db:
    hits = db.search([0.1] * 128, k=5)
    # All vectors are restored, including metadata
```

### IVFPQ Index with Training

```python
from gigavector import Database, IndexType, DistanceType
import random

# Create IVFPQ database
db = Database.open(None, dimension=64, index=IndexType.IVFPQ)

# Generate training data (at least 256 vectors recommended)
train_data = [
    [random.random() for _ in range(64)]
    for _ in range(256)
]
db.train_ivfpq(train_data)

# Add vectors
with db:
    for i in range(1000):
        vec = [random.random() for _ in range(64)]
        db.add_vector(vec, metadata={"id": str(i)})
    
    # Search
    query = [random.random() for _ in range(64)]
    hits = db.search(query, k=10, distance=DistanceType.EUCLIDEAN)
```

### Metadata Filtering

```python
from gigavector import Database, IndexType, DistanceType

with Database.open(None, dimension=128, index=IndexType.HNSW) as db:
    # Add vectors with different categories
    db.add_vector([0.1] * 128, metadata={"category": "A", "price": "10"})
    db.add_vector([0.2] * 128, metadata={"category": "B", "price": "20"})
    db.add_vector([0.15] * 128, metadata={"category": "A", "price": "15"})
    
    # Search only in category A
    hits = db.search(
        [0.1] * 128,
        k=10,
        distance=DistanceType.EUCLIDEAN,
        filter_metadata=("category", "A")
    )
    # Returns only vectors with category="A"
```

### Batch Operations

```python
from gigavector import Database, IndexType, DistanceType

with Database.open(None, dimension=128, index=IndexType.KDTREE) as db:
    # Batch insert vectors (without metadata)
    vectors = [[i * 0.01] * 128 for i in range(1000)]
    db.add_vectors(vectors)
    
    # Batch search
    queries = [[i * 0.01] * 128 for i in range(10)]
    results = db.search_batch(queries, k=5)
    for i, hits in enumerate(results):
        print(f"Query {i}: {len(hits)} results")
```

## Requirements

- Python 3.9 or higher
- cffi >= 1.16
- CUDA toolkit (optional, for GPU acceleration)

On Windows, MinGW-w64 is only required when building from source. The PyPI wheel
bundles the MinGW runtime DLLs so no extra software is needed at runtime.
