Immutable Data Structures in Qdrant
Learn how immutable data structures improve vector search performance in Qdrant.
Big-O notation provides a good abstraction, but it doesn’t account for the realities of modern hardware: cache misses, memory layout, disk I/O, and other low-level considerations that influence actual performance. Of course, the real-world impact of defragmentation depends on the specific workload and the size of the hot subset, but enabling this feature can significantly improve the performance of Qdrant. Immutable data structures, while tricky to implement correctly, offer significant performance gains, especially for read-heavy systems like search engines.
