Sketching primitives for IR: minhash/simhash/LSH-style signatures.
Documentation
//! Updatable, durable near-duplicate index (MinHash LSH) via `segstore`.
//!
//! Enabled by the optional `store` feature. [`MinHashTextLSH`] is built per
//! batch; this wraps the corpus in a segstore `SegmentedStore` so documents can
//! be added and deleted incrementally with a write-ahead log + checkpoint +
//! compaction, and the blocking index survives a restart.
//!
//! Each segment stores the source `(id, text)` pairs; a real `MinHashTextLSH`
//! over the live documents of each segment is built and **cached**, rebuilt only
//! when the index is mutated (an add that seals a segment, a delete, or a
//! compaction), not on every query. The small unflushed buffer is built per
//! query. Because the LSH returns insertion-order indices rather than the
//! caller's ids, each cached index carries a parallel id vector to map them back.
//! The `BlockingConfig` is a query-time parameter (not persisted), so it is
//! supplied at [`UpdatableIndex::open`].
