VEC-DIMMISMATCH
Message Text
Mismatched dimension: Vectors have different dimensions variable1 and variable2
Cause
An operation between two vectors was executed, but the vectors are not comparable.
Response
Please ensure the vectors are of the same dimension.
VEC-EMPTY
Message Text
Empty vector: variable1 invalid: variable2
Cause
Vectors with zero or negative length are not supported.
Response
Please ensure the vector has a non-zero and positive length.
VEC-EMPTY-COLUMN
Message Text
Empty column of vectors: variable1 invalid: variable2
Cause
A column of vectors with zero length is not supported.
Response
Please ensure the column of vectors has a length bigger than zero.
VEC-INVALIDPRECISION
Message Text
Invalid precision value: variable1 invalid: variable2
Cause
The precision value must be between 9 and 32 inclusive.
Response
Please provide a precision value within the valid range of 9 to 32.
VEC-MAGNITUDEZERO
Message Text
Magnitude of zero: variable1 invalid: variable2
Cause
An operation was executed against a zero-magnitude vector, which would give an invalid result.
Response
Please check your input vector(s).
VEC-NOVECTORTYPE
Message Text
Column does not contain vector type: variable1 invalid
Cause
The column contains data that is not of vector type.
Response
Please ensure the column contains only vector type data.
VEC-OUTOFBOUNDS
Message Text
Index out of bounds: variable1 invalid: variable2
Cause
An attempt was made to access an element outside the bounds of the vector.
Response
Please ensure the index is within the valid range.
VEC-QRYINDEXNOT
Message Text
Query requested to run indexed, but still runs brute force.
Cause
Query was executed using 'only-index/onlyIndex' option.
Response
Remove 'only-index' option.
VEC-QVDIMMISMATCH
Message Text
Mismatched dimension: Query vector has dimension variable1 but data vector dimension is variable2.
Cause
The query vector need to have the same dimension as the ANN Index or underlying vectors in case of brute force search.
Response
Please ensure the vectors are of the same dimension.
VEC-TOOBIG
Message Text
Vector too big: Vector has dimension variable1, but maximun allowed dimension is variable2
Cause
The vector exceeds the maximum allowed dimension.
Response
Please ensure the vector dimension does not exceed the maximum allowed limit.
VEC-VECTORSCORE
Message Text
Invalid argument passed to vector scoring function: variable1 invalid: variable2
Cause
Similarity score must be between -1.0 and 1.0. Similarity weight must be between 0.0 and 1.0.
Response
Please check your inputs.
