## Configuration

### Basic Configuration

```rust
use oxirs_vec::{VectorStore, VectorStoreConfig, index::{IndexConfig, IndexType}};

// Create configuration
let config = VectorStoreConfig {
    auto_embed: true,
    cache_embeddings: true,
    similarity_threshold: 0.7,
    max_results: 100,
};

// Initialize store
let mut store = VectorStore::new().with_config(config);
```

### HNSW Configuration

```rust
use oxirs_vec::hnsw::{HnswConfig, HnswIndex};

let config = HnswConfig {
    m: 16,                    // Number of connections per layer
    ef_construction: 200,     // Size of dynamic candidate list (construction)
    ef_search: 100,           // Size of dynamic candidate list (search)
    max_elements: 1_000_000,  // Maximum number of elements
    dimensions: 384,          // Vector dimensions
};

let index = HnswIndex::new(config)?;
```

### Performance Tuning Parameters

#### HNSW Parameters

| Parameter | Description | Default | Tuning Guide |
|-----------|-------------|---------|--------------|
| `m` | Connections per layer | 16 | Higher = more accurate, more memory (8-64) |
| `ef_construction` | Construction quality | 200 | Higher = better index quality (100-500) |
| `ef_search` | Search quality | 100 | Higher = more accurate, slower (50-500) |

**Tuning Rules**:
- High recall (>0.95): `m=32`, `ef_construction=400`, `ef_search=200`
- Balanced: `m=16`, `ef_construction=200`, `ef_search=100` (default)
- Fast search: `m=8`, `ef_construction=100`, `ef_search=50`

#### IVF Parameters

```rust
use oxirs_vec::ivf::{IvfConfig, IvfIndex};

let config = IvfConfig {
    num_clusters: 256,         // Number of clusters (sqrt(N) to N/100)
    num_probes: 10,            // Clusters to search (1-100)
    dimensions: 384,
    max_elements: 1_000_000,
};
```

---

## Deployment Patterns

### Pattern 1: Single-Node Deployment

**Use Case**: Small to medium workloads (< 10M vectors)

```rust
use oxirs_vec::{VectorStore, hnsw::HnswConfig};

fn create_single_node_store() -> anyhow::Result<VectorStore> {
    let hnsw_config = HnswConfig {
        m: 16,
        ef_construction: 200,
        ef_search: 100,
        max_elements: 10_000_000,
        dimensions: 384,
    };

    let index = Box::new(oxirs_vec::hnsw::HnswIndex::new(hnsw_config)?);
    Ok(VectorStore::with_index(index))
}
```

**Architecture**:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│        Application Server           │
│  ┌──────────────────────────────┐   │
│  │      OxiRS Vec Instance      │   │
│  │  - HNSW Index                │   │
│  │  - WAL                       │   │
│  │  - Persistence Layer         │   │
│  └──────────────────────────────┘   │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
```

**Pros**: Simple, low latency, easy maintenance
**Cons**: Limited scalability, single point of failure

### Pattern 2: Multi-Tenant Deployment

**Use Case**: SaaS applications with tenant isolation

```rust
use oxirs_vec::multi_tenancy::{
    MultiTenantManager, TenantManagerConfig, TenantConfig, ResourceQuota
};

fn setup_multi_tenant() -> anyhow::Result<MultiTenantManager> {
    let config = TenantManagerConfig {
        max_tenants: 1000,
        default_quota: ResourceQuota {
            max_vectors: 100_000,
            max_storage_bytes: 1_000_000_000, // 1 GB
            max_queries_per_second: 100.0,
            max_index_size_bytes: 500_000_000, // 500 MB
        },
        isolation_level: oxirs_vec::multi_tenancy::IsolationLevel::Strong,
    };

    MultiTenantManager::new(config)
}
```

**Architecture**:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│           Multi-Tenant Manager                  │
│  ┌──────────┐  ┌──────────┐  ┌──────────┐      │
│  │ Tenant A │  │ Tenant B │  │ Tenant C │  ... │
│  │ - Index  │  │ - Index  │  │ - Index  │      │
│  │ - Quota  │  │ - Quota  │  │ - Quota  │      │
│  └──────────┘  └──────────┘  └──────────┘      │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

**Pros**: Strong isolation, quota management, billing support
**Cons**: Higher memory usage, more complex

### Pattern 3: Distributed Deployment

**Use Case**: Large-scale workloads (> 100M vectors)

```rust
use oxirs_vec::distributed_vector_search::{
    DistributedVectorSearch, DistributedNodeConfig, PartitioningStrategy
};

fn setup_distributed() -> anyhow::Result<DistributedVectorSearch> {
    let config = DistributedNodeConfig {
        node_id: "node-1".to_string(),
        listen_addr: "0.0.0.0:8080".to_string(),
        peer_nodes: vec![
            "node-2:8080".to_string(),
            "node-3:8080".to_string(),
        ],
        partitioning_strategy: PartitioningStrategy::HashBased,
    };

    DistributedVectorSearch::new(config)
}
```

**Architecture**:
```
┌──────────────┐  ┌──────────────┐  ┌──────────────┐
│   Node 1     │  │   Node 2     │  │   Node 3     │
│  Vectors     │  │  Vectors     │  │  Vectors     │
│  0-33M       │  │  34M-66M     │  │  67M-100M    │
└──────────────┘  └──────────────┘  └──────────────┘
        │                 │                 │
        └─────────────────┴─────────────────┘
                          │
                ┌─────────────────────┐
                │  Load Balancer      │
                │  Query Coordinator  │
                └─────────────────────┘
```

**Pros**: Horizontal scalability, fault tolerance
**Cons**: Network latency, consistency challenges

## Monitoring & Observability

### Metrics Collection

```rust
use oxirs_vec::enhanced_performance_monitoring::{
    EnhancedPerformanceMonitor, MonitoringConfig, AlertThresholds
};

fn setup_monitoring() -> anyhow::Result<EnhancedPerformanceMonitor> {
    let config = MonitoringConfig {
        enable_metrics: true,
        enable_tracing: true,
        alert_thresholds: AlertThresholds {
            max_query_latency_ms: 100.0,
            max_memory_usage_percent: 85.0,
            min_recall: 0.90,
        },
    };

    EnhancedPerformanceMonitor::new(config)
}
```

### Key Metrics

| Metric | Description | Target |
|--------|-------------|--------|
| Query Latency (p50) | Median query time | < 10 ms |
| Query Latency (p95) | 95th percentile | < 50 ms |
| Query Latency (p99) | 99th percentile | < 100 ms |
| Throughput | Queries per second | 1000+ |
| Recall@10 | Top-10 recall | > 0.95 |
| Memory Usage | RAM utilization | < 80% |
| Index Build Time | Time to build index | < 1 hr per 10M |

### Health Checks

```rust
use oxirs_vec::real_time_analytics::PerformanceMonitor;

fn health_check(monitor: &PerformanceMonitor) -> bool {
    let stats = monitor.get_statistics();

    // Check query latency
    if stats.avg_query_latency_ms > 100.0 {
        return false;
    }

    // Check memory usage
    if stats.memory_usage_percent > 90.0 {
        return false;
    }

    // Check error rate
    if stats.error_rate > 0.01 {
        return false;
    }

    true
}
```

---

## Performance Optimization

### Index Selection Strategy

```rust
use oxirs_vec::query_planning::{QueryPlanner, QueryCharacteristics};

fn optimize_query(planner: &mut QueryPlanner, query: &Vector) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let characteristics = QueryCharacteristics {
        vector_dimensions: query.len(),
        expected_result_size: 10,
        query_vector_sparsity: calculate_sparsity(query),
        use_filters: false,
    };

    let plan = planner.plan_query(&characteristics)?;
    // Execute with optimal strategy
    Ok(())
}

fn calculate_sparsity(vector: &Vector) -> f32 {
    let values = vector.as_f32();
    let zeros = values.iter().filter(|&&x| x == 0.0).count();
    zeros as f32 / values.len() as f32
}
```

### Cache Configuration

```rust
use oxirs_vec::advanced_caching::{CacheConfig, MultiLevelCache};

fn setup_caching() -> anyhow::Result<MultiLevelCache> {
    let config = CacheConfig {
        l1_capacity: 1000,      // Hot queries
        l2_capacity: 10000,     // Warm queries
        l3_capacity: 100000,    // Cold queries
        ttl_seconds: 3600,      // 1 hour
    };

    MultiLevelCache::new(config)
}
```

### Memory Optimization

**Technique 1: Quantization**

```rust
use oxirs_vec::sq::{SqConfig, SqIndex, QuantizationMode};

// Reduce memory by 4x with Scalar Quantization
let sq_config = SqConfig {
    dimensions: 384,
    quantization_mode: QuantizationMode::Uniform,
    bits: 8,  // 8-bit quantization
};

let sq_index = SqIndex::new(sq_config)?;
// Memory: 384 bytes per vector → 96 bytes per vector
```

**Technique 2: Product Quantization**

```rust
use oxirs_vec::pq::{PQConfig, PQIndex};

// Reduce memory by 16x with Product Quantization
let pq_config = PQConfig {
    dimensions: 384,
    num_subvectors: 48,     // 384 / 8 = 48
    num_centroids: 256,     // 8-bit per subvector
    max_elements: 1_000_000,
};

let pq_index = PQIndex::new(pq_config)?;
// Memory: 384 bytes per vector → 48 bytes per vector
```

**Technique 3: Disk-backed Storage**

```rust
use oxirs_vec::diskann::{DiskAnnConfig, DiskAnnIndex};

// Billion-scale vectors with minimal memory
let diskann_config = DiskAnnConfig {
    dimensions: 384,
    max_degree: 64,
    search_list_size: 100,
    index_path: "/mnt/nvme/vectors".to_string(),
};

let diskann_index = DiskAnnIndex::new(diskann_config)?;
// Memory: Only active pages loaded (~100 MB for 1B vectors)
```

---

## Security Best Practices

### 1. Authentication & Authorization

```rust
use oxirs_vec::multi_tenancy::{AccessControl, Role, Permission};

fn setup_access_control() -> anyhow::Result<AccessControl> {
    let mut acl = AccessControl::new();

    // Define roles
    acl.add_role(Role {
        name: "admin".to_string(),
        permissions: vec![
            Permission::Read,
            Permission::Write,
            Permission::Delete,
            Permission::Admin,
        ],
    })?;

    acl.add_role(Role {
        name: "read_only".to_string(),
        permissions: vec![Permission::Read],
    })?;

    Ok(acl)
}
```

### 2. Rate Limiting

```rust
use oxirs_vec::multi_tenancy::RateLimiter;

fn setup_rate_limiting() -> anyhow::Result<RateLimiter> {
    RateLimiter::new(
        100.0,  // 100 queries per second
        1000,   // Burst capacity
    )
}
```

### 3. Input Validation

```rust
use oxirs_vec::validation::{VectorValidator, ValidationConfig};

fn validate_input(vector: &Vector) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let validator = VectorValidator::new(ValidationConfig {
        min_dimensions: 1,
        max_dimensions: 2048,
        allow_nan: false,
        allow_inf: false,
        max_magnitude: 1000.0,
    });

    validator.validate(vector)?;
    Ok(())
}
```

### 4. Encryption at Rest

```rust
use oxirs_vec::persistence::{PersistenceConfig, EncryptionConfig};

fn setup_encryption() -> PersistenceConfig {
    PersistenceConfig {
        encryption: Some(EncryptionConfig {
            algorithm: "AES-256-GCM".to_string(),
            key_path: "/etc/oxirs/encryption.key".to_string(),
        }),
        ..Default::default()
    }
}
```

---

## Disaster Recovery

### Write-Ahead Logging (WAL)

```rust
use oxirs_vec::wal::{WalConfig, WalManager};

fn setup_wal() -> anyhow::Result<WalManager> {
    let config = WalConfig {
        wal_dir: "/var/lib/oxirs/wal".to_string(),
        max_wal_size: 1_000_000_000,  // 1 GB
        sync_interval_ms: 1000,        // Sync every 1 second
        checkpoint_interval: 10000,    // Checkpoint every 10k ops
    };

    WalManager::new(config)
}
```

### Backup Strategy

**Incremental Backups**:
```rust
use oxirs_vec::persistence::{PersistenceManager, BackupConfig};

fn create_backup(manager: &PersistenceManager) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let config = BackupConfig {
        backup_dir: "/backups/oxirs".to_string(),
        compression: true,
        incremental: true,
    };

    manager.create_backup(&config)?;
    Ok(())
}
```

**Recovery Procedure**:
```rust
use oxirs_vec::crash_recovery::{CrashRecoveryManager, RecoveryConfig};

fn recover_from_crash() -> anyhow::Result<VectorStore> {
    let recovery_config = RecoveryConfig {
        wal_dir: "/var/lib/oxirs/wal".to_string(),
        data_dir: "/var/lib/oxirs/data".to_string(),
        verify_checksums: true,
    };

    let manager = CrashRecoveryManager::new(recovery_config)?;
    let store = manager.recover()?;

    Ok(store)
}
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Issue 1: High Query Latency

**Symptoms**: Queries taking > 100ms

**Diagnosis**:
```rust
let stats = monitor.get_query_statistics();
println!("Average latency: {} ms", stats.avg_latency);
println!("P95 latency: {} ms", stats.p95_latency);
println!("P99 latency: {} ms", stats.p99_latency);
```

**Solutions**:
1. Increase `ef_search` for better recall
2. Use query result caching
3. Enable GPU acceleration
4. Consider index quantization

#### Issue 2: High Memory Usage

**Symptoms**: Memory usage > 90%

**Diagnosis**:
```rust
let stats = monitor.get_system_statistics();
println!("Memory usage: {} %", stats.memory_usage_percent);
println!("Index size: {} GB", stats.index_size_gb);
```

**Solutions**:
1. Use Product Quantization (PQ)
2. Enable DiskANN for disk-backed storage
3. Reduce cache sizes
4. Implement tiering (hot/warm/cold)

#### Issue 3: Low Recall

**Symptoms**: Recall < 0.90

**Diagnosis**:
```rust
let quality_stats = monitor.get_quality_statistics();
println!("Recall@10: {}", quality_stats.recall_at_10);
println!("Recall@100: {}", quality_stats.recall_at_100);
```

**Solutions**:
1. Increase HNSW `m` parameter
2. Increase `ef_construction` during index build
3. Use higher `ef_search` during queries
4. Consider exact search for critical queries

## Migration from Other Systems

### From FAISS

```rust
use oxirs_vec::faiss_migration_tools::{FaissConverter, ConversionConfig};

fn migrate_from_faiss(faiss_index_path: &str) -> anyhow::Result<VectorStore> {
    let config = ConversionConfig {
        source_path: faiss_index_path.to_string(),
        target_index_type: oxirs_vec::index::IndexType::HNSW,
        preserve_ids: true,
    };

    let converter = FaissConverter::new(config)?;
    let store = converter.convert()?;

    Ok(store)
}
```

### From Annoy

```rust
fn migrate_from_annoy(
    annoy_vectors: Vec<(String, Vec<f32>)>
) -> anyhow::Result<VectorStore> {
    let mut store = VectorStore::new();

    for (id, vector) in annoy_vectors {
        store.index_vector(id, Vector::new(vector))?;
    }

    Ok(store)
}
```
