Description
Apache Lucene implemented a version of knn vector query called SeededKnnVectorQuery that provides a query seed to initiate the vector search (entry points in the HNSW graph exploration) based on Lexically-Accelerated Dense Retrieval
Solution
This PR introduces a new optional parameter for the current KNN query parser:
seedQuery.The seed parameter can be any valid Solr query, allowing traditional query logic to guide the vector search in a hybrid-like way.
Added a new method
getSeedQuery()that parses the seed parameter and returns the corresponding Lucene Query.When a seed query is present, the KNN vector query is wrapped with SeededKnnVectorQuery:
SeededKnnVectorQuery.fromFloatQuery(...) for FLOAT32 vectors.
SeededKnnVectorQuery.fromByteQuery(...) for BYTE vectors.
If no seedQuery is provided, the parser behaves as before and executes a "standard" KNN query.
