Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Building an efficient sparse keyword index in Python
First, a review of the landscape. As said in the introduction, there aren't a ton of good options. Apache Lucene is by far the best traditional search index from a speed, performance and functionality standpoint. It's the base for Elasticsearch/OpenSearch and many other projects. But it requires Java.

Java Panama Vector API Integrated with Apache Lucene
https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/10047
2. The Panama Vector API allows CPU's that support it to accelerate vector operations: https://openjdk.org/jeps/438
So this allows fast ANN on Lucene for semantic search!
How did people do this before Lucene supported it? Only through entirely different tools?

What Is a Vector Database
Are they forking Lucene or somehow getting the Lucene devs to increase that limit? Because this PR has been open for over a year now: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/11507
- An alternative to Elasticsearch that runs on a few MBs of RAM
- Lucene 9.4 (optionally) uses Panama's mapped MemorySegments when JDK 19 is detected

A primer on Roaring bitmaps: what they are and how they work
Lucene's adaptation of Roaring uses the complement idea on a block-wise basis:

How are documents stored in Elasticsearch?
Like someone said, it's in locations as specified in the path.data. Depending on sharing and replication, it could be on more than one host. Elastic uses Apache Lucene to store documents, since it's open source, that rabbit hole will welcome research :-)

Amazon Elasticsearch Service Is Now Amazon OpenSearch Service
It is pretty clear to me that Elastic is planning to build their ANN features differently than OpenDistro's k-NN implementation, or other plugins modules that extend Easticsearch in similar ways. They now will build on the Apache Lucene capabilities that were collaboratively built "upstream" by a number of individuals, some that work for Amazon and some that work for Elastic.
From the linked issue, it seemed that they were originally planning to develop this as a proprietary feature of Elasticsearch, without contributing the functionality to Apache Lucene, but then changed direction when the Apache Lucene developers (some of which are currently employed to do such work by Amazon) started to build its approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) vector search capabilities. [1]
It's great to see folks that work for Elastic collaborating and building on what is in Apache Lucene to extend the utility of ANN with Hierarchical Navigable Small World Graphs (HNSW) [2]! From this, I think it should be possible to implement an Open Source version of the functionality with a compatible API, if that is something that OpenSearch users seek.

Publish/Subscribe with Sidekiq
We needed to introduce a new service for search. As we settled on using meilisearch, we needed a way to sync updates on our models with the records in meilisearch. We could've continued to use callbacks but we needed something better.

What is Hybrid Search?
In this case, a good strategy is to use vector search only when the keyword/prefix search returns none or just a small number of results. A good candidate for this is MeiliSearch. It uses custom ranking rules to provide results as fast as the user can type.

Create a ChatBot with VertexAI and LibreChat
With the VertexAI endpoint set up and tested, our next step is to work with LibreChat. LibreChat is an open-source ChatGPT clone that can integrate with various AI models, including the PaLM 2 models via the VertexAI API. It's built using React, MongoDB, and Meilisearch technologies.

Vector storage is coming to Meilisearch to empower search through AI
Starting with v1.3, you can use Meilisearch as a vector store. Meilisearch allows you to store vector embeddings alongside your documents conveniently. You will need to create the vector embeddings using your third-party tool of choice (Hugging Face, OpenAI). As we published the first v1.3 release candidate, you can try out vector search today.
