Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Milvus supports null values starting from version 2.5.
However, null is not supported for vector fields, as vectors are a core data type in any vector database. We believe users should always provide vector data to enable meaningful similarity search results.
That said, in multi-vector mode, not all vector fields are required, which brings greater flexibility to accommodate diverse use cases.
Knowhere does not need to be aware of null values. Instead, handling null should be implemented at the data ingestion and retrieval layers.
