Investigation Findings + +### 1.1 Lance Native Capabilities + +#### HNSW Indexing API +Lance provides HNSW vector indexing via the `create_index()` method on tables: + +```python +table.create_index( + metric="L2", # Distance metric: "L2" or "cosine" + num_partitions=256, # IVF partitions (for coarse search) + num_sub_vectors=96, # PQ subvectors (for quantization) +) +``` + +**Key Properties:** +- **Idempotent Behavior:** Calling `create_index()` on an already-indexed table raises `ValueError` with message like `"Index already exists"`.
