Fetch the fatjar:
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/anserini/anserini/1.0.0/anserini-1.0.0-fatjar.jarLet's start out by setting the ANSERINI_JAR and the OUTPUT_DIR:
export ANSERINI_JAR="anserini-1.0.0-fatjar.jar"
export OUTPUT_DIR="."❗ Anserini ships with a number of prebuilt indexes, which it'll automagically download for you. This is a great feature, but the indexes can take up a lot of space. See this guide on prebuilt indexes for more details.
Anserini has a built-in webapp for interactive querying along with a REST API that can be used by other applications. To start the REST API:
java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR io.anserini.server.Application --server.port=8081And then navigate to http://localhost:8081/ in your browser.
Here's a specific example of using the REST API to issue the query "How does the process of digestion and metabolism of carbohydrates start" to msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented:
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8081/api/v1.0/indexes/msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented/search?query=How%20does%20the%20process%20of%20digestion%20and%20metabolism%20of%20carbohydrates%20start"The json results are the same as the output of the -outputRerankerRequests option in SearchCollection, described below for "MS MARCO V2.1 + TREC RAG".
Use the hits parameter to specify the number of hits to return, e.g., hits=1000 to return the top 1000 hits.
Details of the built-in webapp and REST API can be found here.
❗ Beware, the above commands will trigger automatic downloading of prebuilt indexes, which take up a lot of space.
The msmarco-v2.1-doc prebuilt index is 63 GB uncompressed.
The msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented prebuilt index is 84 GB uncompressed.
See this guide on prebuilt indexes for more details.
The MS MARCO V2.1 collections were created for the TREC RAG Track. It was the official corpus used in 2024 and will remain the corpus for 2025. There are two separate MS MARCO V2.1 "variants", documents and segmented documents:
- The segmented documents corpus (segments = passages) is the one actually used for the TREC RAG evaluations. It contains 113,520,750 passages.
- The documents corpus is the source of the segments and useful as a point of reference (but not actually used in the TREC evaluations). It contains 10,960,555 documents.
Here, we focus on the segmented documents corpus.
With Anserini, you can reproduce baseline runs on the TREC 2024 RAG test queries using BM25 and ArcticEmbed-L embeddings. Using the UMBRELA qrels, these are the evaluation numbers you'd get:
| Dataset / Metric | BM25 | ArcticEmbed-L |
|---|---|---|
| RAG24 Test (UMBRELA): nDCG@20 | 0.3198 | 0.5497 |
| RAG24 Test (UMBRELA): nDCG@100 | 0.2563 | 0.4855 |
| RAG24 Test (UMBRELA): Recall@100 | 0.1395 | 0.2547 |
See instructions below on how to reproduce these runs; more details can be found in the following paper:
Shivani Upadhyay, Ronak Pradeep, Nandan Thakur, Daniel Campos, Nick Craswell, Ian Soboroff, Hoa Trang Dang, and Jimmy Lin. A Large-Scale Study of Relevance Assessments with Large Language Models: An Initial Look. arXiv:2411.08275, November 2024.
This guide covers runs with the official TREC 2024 RAG test queries. See this page for instructions on runs with the TREC 2024 RAG "dev queries".
For BM25, Anserini provides prebuilt inverted indexes. The following command will reproduce the above results:
❗ Beware, you need lots of space to run these experiments.
The msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented prebuilt index is 84 GB uncompressed.
The command below will download the index automatically.
See this guide on prebuilt indexes for more details.
java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR io.anserini.search.SearchCollection \
-index msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented \
-topics rag24.test \
-output $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.bm25.rag24.test.txt \
-bm25 -hits 1000And to evaluate:
java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR trec_eval -c -m ndcg_cut.20 rag24.test-umbrela-all $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.bm25.rag24.test.txt

java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR trec_eval -c -m recall.100 rag24.test-umbrela-all $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.bm25.rag24.test.txtFor ArcticEmbed-L, Anserini also provides prebuilt indexes with ArcticEmbed-L embeddings.
The embedding vectors were generated by Snowflake and are freely downloadable on Hugging Face.
We provide prebuilt HNSW indexes with int8 quantization, divided into 10 shards, 00 to 09.
❗ Beware, the complete ArcticEmbed-L index for all 10 shards of the MS MARCO V2.1 segmented document collection totals 558 GB! The commands below will download the indexes automatically, so make sure you have plenty of space. See this guide on prebuilt indexes for general info on prebuilt indexes. Additional helpful tips are provided below for dealing with space issues.
Here's how you reproduce results on the TREC 2024 RAG Track test queries, using ONNX to encode queries on the fly (which means you can extend to arbitrary queries):
# RAG24 test
SHARDS=(00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09); for shard in "${SHARDS[@]}"
do
java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR io.anserini.search.SearchHnswDenseVectors -index msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented-shard${shard}.arctic-embed-l.hnsw-int8 -efSearch 1000 -topics rag24.test -topicReader TsvString -topicField title -encoder ArcticEmbedL -output $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.arctic-l.rag24.test.shard${shard}.txt -hits 250 -threads 32 > $OUTPUT_DIR/log.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.arctic-l.rag24.test.shard${shard}.txt 2>&1
doneSame commands, but using cached queries (faster)
# RAG24 test
SHARDS=(00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09); for shard in "${SHARDS[@]}"
do
java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR io.anserini.search.SearchHnswDenseVectors -index msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented-shard${shard}.arctic-embed-l.hnsw-int8 -efSearch 1000 -topics rag24.test.snowflake-arctic-embed-l -output $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.arctic-l.rag24.test.shard${shard}.txt -hits 250 -threads 32 > $OUTPUT_DIR/log.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.arctic-l.rag24.test.shard${shard}.txt 2>&1
doneFor evaluation purposes, you can just cat all the 10 run files together and evaluate:
cat $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.arctic-l.rag24.test.shard0* > $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.arctic-l.rag24.test.txt
java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR trec_eval -c -m ndcg_cut.20 rag24.test-umbrela-all $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.arctic-l.rag24.test.txt
java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR trec_eval -c -m ndcg_cut.100 rag24.test-umbrela-all $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.arctic-l.rag24.test.txt
java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR trec_eval -c -m recall.100 rag24.test-umbrela-all $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.arctic-l.rag24.test.txtYou should arrive at exactly the effectiveness metrics above.
For BM25, to generate jsonl output containing the raw documents that can be reranked and further processed, use the -outputRerankerRequests option to specify an output file.
For example:
java -cp $ANSERINI_JAR io.anserini.search.SearchCollection \
-index msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented \
-topics rag24.test \
-output $OUTPUT_DIR/run.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.bm25.rag24.test.txt \
-bm25 -hits 20 \
-outputRerankerRequests $OUTPUT_DIR/results.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.bm25.rag24.test.jsonlIn the above command, we only fetch the top-20 hits.
To examine the output, pipe through jq to pretty-print:
$ head -n 1 $OUTPUT_DIR/results.msmarco-v2.1-doc-segmented.bm25.rag24.test.jsonl | jq

Currently, Anserini provides support for the following models:
- Flat = BM25, "flat" bag-of-words baseline
- MF = BM25, "multifield" bag-of-words baseline
- S = SPLADE++ EnsembleDistil:
- cached queries (Sp)
- ONNX query encoding (So)
- Bf = bge-base-en-v1.5 (flat)
- cached queries (Bfc)
- ONNX query encoding (Bfo)
- Bh = bge-base-en-v1.5 (HNSW)
- cached queries (Bhc)
- ONNX query encoding (Bhc)
The table below reports the effectiveness of the models (nDCG@10):

doneNote that --add-modules jdk.incubator.vector enables OpenJDK's Panama Vector API, which accelerates vector search.
However, this is not a score-preserving optimization.
Similarity scores are slightly different in some cases, which leads to slightly different nDCG@10 scores for some BEIR collection.
And here's the snippet of code to perform the evaluation (which will yield the scores above):
