Unverified50% confidenceFactExact time

UnverifiedA reliable way to distinguish an empty-result query from a negative result is to introduce a positive control: run the same query with a record you are sure exists; if the control also returns zero rows, the query itself is broken.76% similarUnverifiedFailure of vector indexes to reflect data changes in a timely manner leads to two types of problems: stale retrieval (generating answers based on outdated documents) and ghost data (source documents have been deleted but vectors remain in the index and are still retrieved).70% similarUnverifiedA query can be completely correct and still be a cache miss, which is a failure mode different from the text-to-SQL accuracy problem.70% similarUnverifiedWhen an embedding column is partially regenerated, the vector database's nearest-neighbor search does not report an error; the only symptom is a slow decline in retrieval quality, which looks like model drift or data quality rot.70% similarUnverifiedPrior to mloda 0.11, an incorrect feature request returned only a single line of error output without indicating the specific reason for the failure.69% similar
