If you use language except golang, compile proto file for the language.

Go examples are in example/.

Build

Build will construct the NGT database by importing the Vector data, please check the Input Format section at the bottom of the Build chapter for the file format to import.

$ ngtd build --help

   --parallel-parse value                  number of CPU using input parser (default: 8)

Input format

Now, we support only text format.

It enables for id to use any character without delimiter1 and for vector elements to use decimal/hex format.

If you choice hex format, you must begin the value with "0x".

<id1><delimiter1><v11><delimiter2><v12><delimiter2>...<delimiter2><v1d>\n
<id2><delimiter1><v21><delimiter2><v22><delimiter2>...<delimiter2><v2d>\n
...
<id1><delimiter1><vn1><delimiter2><vn2><delimiter2>...<delimiter2><vnd>\n
