Relevant issue(s)

Resolves #5168

Description

This unifies the @vectorIndex and @index directive, while maintaining full backwards compatability, and clean cut outs for adding new index types in the future.

Tasks

  • I made sure the code is well commented, particularly hard-to-understand areas.
  • I made sure the repository-held documentation is changed accordingly.
  • I made sure the pull request title adheres to the conventional commit style (the subset used in the project can be found in tools/configs/chglog/config.yml).
  • I made sure to discuss its limitations such as threats to validity, vulnerability to mistake and misuse, robustness to invalidation of assumptions, resource requirements, ...

How has this been tested?

Expanded unit and integration tests. Additional manual testing

Specify the platform(s) on which this was tested:

  • Linux (nixos)

this was a slight nitpick of mine having the HNSW param name capital. I can leave it as is if theres preference

I have no preference. Maybe slight inclination toward lower case

I went back and forth on this, I might revert again. Current I have changed it so the includes index param is scoped to the ordered index type, but there are some other index types that might support compound indexes or just prefer to be defined on the schema object itself with the explicit field listed, instead of at the field level.

I'd keep it scoped to ordered and not revert. includes isn't really a generic field list as it carries per-field direction, which only means something for an ordered index. I think Trigram and BM25 both take a field list without directions.

Another point is that there are already legacy param on top level and if we add more it gets more complex for parser. A future kind that needs a field list should declare its own inside its own config object

This is a bug I noticed before push but wanted to leave it in as a point of discussion.

This PR obviously (among many things) adds this kind parameter. Its added to make nicer/clearer syntax for using an index type with a default settings (otherwise you would need to do vector: {}). This is more obvious for the ordered index that easily supports default config options (ie: @index(kind: ordered))

In this example, it actually doesnt make sense to only rely on default values for the vector index type, because we need a >0 dimension configured value.

There are other index types we will add, some support fully default config, some dont.

So, should we include the index types that dont support default values soley from the kind Enum. If yes, this would remove the vector option from the kind enum

I'm not sure kind is necessary at least at this point. I assume you can still specify an ordered index with just @index on a field. If you want to add details you do @index(ordered: {unique: true}). If you need a vector index you use @index(vector: {dimensions: 3}). We might need it later at some point to make intent more explicit, but for now I'd leave it out

My hope is merge the trigram and bm25 indexes pretty soon into the 1.2 release cycle, where this will certainly show up, since trigram doesnt really have params that need to be configured.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces the separate @vectorIndex directive with unified @index ordered and vector configurations. It adds GraphQL input types and parser support, enforces positive vector dimensions, and updates unit and integration tests.

Changes

Unified index directive

Layer / File(s) Summary
Index schema contracts
internal/request/graphql/schema/types/types.go, internal/request/graphql/schema/schema.go, internal/request/graphql/schema/testfixtures/*.graphql
Adds index-kind, ordered, vector, algorithm, and HNSW GraphQL types. Extends @index with nested configuration arguments and removes the standalone vector directive.
Unified directive parsing
internal/request/graphql/schema/collection.go, internal/request/graphql/schema/*_parse_test.go
Parses ordered and vector configurations through @index, rejects conflicting selectors and duplicate properties, and preserves legacy ordered arguments.
Vector dimension validation
client/index.go, internal/db/collection_index.go, internal/db/errors.go, internal/db/vector_index_test.go
Requires vector dimensions greater than zero, including for embedding-backed indexes. Updates documentation, errors, and validation coverage.
Integration schema migration
tests/integration/collection_version/*, tests/integration/index/*, tests/integration/query/simple/*
Replaces @vectorIndex test schemas with nested @index vector configuration and updates the missing-dimensions error assertion.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b6454

The index directive refactor can reject existing schemas, mishandle vector configuration, and generate invalid SDL because legacy @vectorIndex support and inferred dimensions are no longer preserved, conflicting selectors remain accepted, and fixtures use an enum as a string. Merge should wait for these compatibility and validation issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Unify ordered and vector indexes under one @index directive [#5168]
Provide vector configuration with algorithm and HNSW settings [#5168]
Support kind selection and reject conflicting index-kind configurations [#5168]
Require positive vector dimensions [#5168]

Learning: In sourcenetwork/defradb code reviews, do not raise findings that are likely compiler/type-check errors (e.g., code that would fail `go test`/`go build`) because CI pipelines will catch compilation failures. Only flag compilation-related problems if there is a clear, verifiable issue beyond what CI will already surface (e.g., a mismatched build tag or missing generated artifact that CI would not cover).

Reject alg together with an algorithm-specific configuration object.

The current parser accepts configurations such as @index(vector: {dimensions: 3, alg: hnsw, hnsw: {...}}) and applies the HNSW configuration. These arguments are required to be mutually exclusive. Return ErrIndexWithInvalidArg for this combination and add or update parser coverage for the rejected case.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve legacy @vectorIndex compatibility.

Existing schemas using @vectorIndex(dimensions: ..., HNSW: ...) will fail validation or stop producing a vector index because only @index remains registered. Retain a compatibility alias and adapt it to the unified parser, or explicitly address this as a breaking change with corresponding documentation and migration coverage.

Based on your own comments it feels like you didn't quite finished yet the pr but so far it looks legit to me.

I think I mentioned this already somewhere, maybe on the stand up or our 1-on-1 or somewhere where we did discuss it, but I don't think kind Is strictly necessary at least at this stage. I think we can easily add it later if needed. But if later we decide to remove it, that would be a breaking change.

You mentioned it on one of the other comments on this PR. My reason for having it is the pending index work that will be landing soon after this in the 1.2 cycle, which needs to take advantage of the kind param
