Aerospike Vector Search (AVS) Python client 2.1.0 Release Notes

October 14, 2024

New in this version

This version adds search by key and field exclusion functionality.

AVS server compatibility

The AVS Python client 2.1.0 is compatible only with AVS server versions 0.10.0 and later.

Deprecated methods

The field_names argument to the client get and vector_search methods has been deprecated. Use include_fields instead.

New features

• Add the exclude_fields argument to client get and vector_search methods to explicitly exclude fields from the results. [VEC-327]
• Add the vector_search_by_key method to search by Aerospike primary record keys instead of vectors. [VEC-330]

Issues fixed

• An empty list used as the include_fields argument in the client get and vector_search methods includes all result fields when it should filter out all fields. This issue existed on previous versions for field_names, which was renamed in this release. [VEC-372]
