Document multi-vector embeddings and late-interaction search#1545
Merged
Conversation
Add a new Multi-Vector Search feature page covering column-of-vectors embeddings (List<Utf8> source columns), aggregation strategies (max/mean/sum), max_elements_per_row caps, and ColBERT-style late-interaction multi-query vector_search. Cross-link from the search index, vector search, and embeddings component pages, and document the previously-missing aggregation and max_elements_per_row fields in the datasets reference.
