The Marqo team is proud to introduce 0.1.0!
New features
Telemetry
Marqo now includes various timing metrics for the search, bulk_search and add_documents endpoints when the query parameter telemetry=True is specified. The metrics will be returned in the response body and provide a breakdown of latencies for various stages of the API call.
Consolidate default device to CUDA
By default, Marqo now uses CUDA devices for search and indexing if available. This helps ensure you get the best indexing and search experience without having to explicitly add the device parameter to search and add_documents calls.
Model download integrity verification
Model files are validated and removed if corrupted during download. This helps ensure that models are not loaded if they are corrupted.
Breaking changes
Remove deprecated add_or_update_documents endpoint
Disable automatic index creation
Marqo will no longer automatically create an index if it does not exist. Attempting to add documents to a non-existent index will now result in an error. This helps provide more certainty about the properties of the index you are adding documents to, and also helps prevent accidental indexing to the wrong index.
Remove parallel indexing
Marqo no longer supports server-side parallel indexing. This helps deliver a more stable and efficient indexing experience. Parallelisation can still be implemented by the user.
