New features

Longer collection names

• Limit increased: Collection names can be 64–512 characters, so you can follow longer naming conventions.
• Compatibility: Existing collections with shorter names are unchanged.

Full-text index configuration (FulltextIndexConfig)

• Docs: Full-text index configuration.

Embedding function support

• 11 embedding platforms are supported, including:
  • Open source: sentence-transformers.
  • Commercial: OpenAI, Azure, AWS Bedrock, and more.
  • Full list: Embedding functions.

Table-Fork (experimental)

tip

In seekdb V1.1.0, FORK TABLE (copy collection) is provided as an experimental feature. It is not recommended for production use until it is declared stable in a later release.

• Fast collection snapshots: Create a copy of a collection in under a second.
• Typical use cases:
  • A/B testing with different index parameters
  • Data rollback and disaster recovery
  • See Fork a table for more scenarios.
• Performance: Fork uses copy-on-write (COW) at the storage layer. It completes in less than 1 second and does not depend on data size.
