Generate metadata snapshot
Sample the vector database’s chunks and store a fresh metadata snapshot. The snapshot records the most common metadata keys, the most frequent values for each key, and each key’s inferred type, capturing up to the 100 most common keys with up to 10 values each from as many as 10,000 chunks. Generating a snapshot replaces the previous one for the vector database rather than adding to it. SeekrFlow also regenerates the snapshot automatically after an ingestion job adds documents. For SDK examples, see Generate a metadata snapshot.
