Vector and Search Commands

This domain covers vector engine setup, collection management, and vector search.

Vector Store Commands

Command group: dodil k3 vector-store

Persistent flag:

• --bucket, -b

Example:

dodil k3 vector-store create --bucket kb-dev --mode auto
dodil k3 vector-store get --bucket kb-dev -o json

Vector Collection Commands

Command group: dodil k3 vector-collection

Persistent flag:

• --bucket, -b

Example:

dodil k3 vector-collection add contracts-v1 \
  --bucket kb-dev \
  --pipeline object_embedding_index \
  --dimensions 1536 \
  --metric cosine

Search Command

Command: dodil k3 search [query]

Example:

dodil k3 search "contract renewal terms" \
  --bucket kb-dev \
  --collection contracts-v1 \
  --top-k 8 \
  --min-score 0.2

Important Notes

1. CLI does not expose first-class external vector write commands (InsertVectors, UpsertVectors, DeleteVectors).
2. Use direct API for external/manual vector ingestion flows.
3. Search behavior may go through compatibility mapping in some adapter layers; canonical API route remains /:bucket/vector/search.

Common Use Cases

1. Quickly bootstrap vector retrieval in a new bucket.
2. Validate search quality and thresholds from terminal.
3. Manage collection lifecycle during model/dimension changes.
