Collections define how the warehouse decomposes raw files into queryable features.
Build collections
- Create: Click New Collection, name it, provide a source (bucket or collection), and pick the features you want (per your content’s modality). API: Create Collection.
- Features: Studio shows available feature addresses and vector indexes. Use this to configure retrievers. API: Describe Features.
- Update: Modify description, enablement, and taxonomy applications. API: Update Collection.
- List/Get/Delete: Browse, inspect, or remove collections. API: List, Get, Delete.
Documents
- View documents produced by extraction with metadata and vectors.
- Create or update documents directly for advanced workflows. API: Create, Update, Get, List, Delete.
Tips
- Collections are the searchable view of your data; choose features that match your modalities.
- Ensure
internal_idandX-Namespacecontext is correct—Studio handles this automatically.
Create a collection
Select a source, pick features, and save. Studio bootstraps vector indexes as needed.
Inspect features
Use Describe Features to confirm vector names, dimensions, and index metadata for retriever setup.
Attach taxonomies (optional)
Configure on-demand or materialized applications from the collection page.
Attach retriever enrichments (optional)
Configure retriever enrichments to run retriever pipelines on documents during post-processing. Each enrichment maps document fields to retriever inputs, executes the retriever, and writes selected result fields back to the document. Use for LLM classification, cross-collection joins, or multi-stage enrichment at ingestion time.
Documents are stored as MVS records with payload and vectors; the record ID is the document_id in results.
