VectorSearchCompressionKind type

Defines values for VectorSearchCompressionKind.
KnownVectorSearchCompressionKind can be used interchangeably with VectorSearchCompressionKind, this enum contains the known values that the service supports.

Known values supported by the service

scalarQuantization: Scalar Quantization, a type of compression method. In scalar quantization, the original vectors values are compressed to a narrower type by discretizing and representing each component of a vector using a reduced set of quantized values, thereby reducing the overall data size.
binaryQuantization: Binary Quantization, a type of compression method. In binary quantization, the original vectors values are compressed to the narrower binary type by discretizing and representing each component of a vector using binary values, thereby reducing the overall data size.
