Article 2+3 Combined: Select Algorithm Samples (5 languages)

Code samples for the merged "Choose and configure vector indexes" DocumentDB quickstart articles. Compares 3 vector index algorithms (IVF, HNSW, DiskANN) × 3 similarity functions (COS, L2, IP) = 9 combinations.

What's included

Each language has a compare-all runner (runs all 9 combinations) and individual algorithm runners (ivf, hnsw, diskann) for the article's tabbed "Run" sections.

Language Directory
Python �i/select-algorithm-python/
TypeScript �i/select-algorithm-typescript/
Go �i/select-algorithm-go/
Java �i/select-algorithm-java/
.NET �i/select-algorithm-dotnet/

Key patterns

  • Passwordless auth (DefaultAzureCredential / OIDC)
  • Shared .env from root (../../.env via �zd up)
  • Hotels_Vector.json sample data with pre-calculated embeddings
  • Formatted comparison table output

Related

What this does NOT include

  • Article 1 (vector search) samples — those are already on main
  • Agent/RAG samples (Article 4) — separate PR

Implement vector index algorithm comparison samples (IVF, HNSW, DiskANN)
for Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, and C#/.NET.

Each sample demonstrates:
- IVF index creation (numLists=10) for <10K documents
- HNSW index creation (m=16, efConstruction=64) for 10K-50K documents
- DiskANN index creation (maxDegree=20, lBuild=10) for 50K+ documents
- Vector search using \ aggregation with cosmosSearch
- Passwordless auth via DefaultAzureCredential/OIDC

- Java: Fix TOKEN_RESOURCE from cosmos.azure.com to ossrdbms-aad.database.windows.net

…onBuilder

- Remove DotNetEnv package, add Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration packages
- Add appsettings.json with strongly-typed config sections
- Add Models/Configuration.cs with AppConfiguration classes
- Update Program.cs to use ConfigurationBuilder (json + env var override)
- Update Utils.cs to accept AppConfiguration parameter
- Update all demo Run() methods to receive config from Program.cs
- Delete .env.example (no longer needed)
- Update README to reference appsettings.json + azd env get-values

Matches Article 1 (vector-search-dotnet) configuration pattern.

All non-.NET Article 2 READMEs now show azd env get-values > .env
as the primary config method after azd up, with manual cp .env.example
as fallback. Matches Article 1 README pattern.

Runs all 9 combinations (3 algorithms x 3 metrics) in a single
execution with formatted comparison output.

- All 5 runners now: drop collection → create fresh → upload data →
  create indexes → run comparisons → drop collection on exit
- Removed 15 individual algorithm files (ivf/hnsw/diskann per language)
- Updated entry points (main.go, Main.java, Program.cs) to only run compare-all
- Simplified package.json scripts (TypeScript)
- All languages use DefaultAzureCredential for auth

…rop at end

All 10 sample directories now follow the same pattern:
- START: conditionally drop collection only if it exists
- END: always drop collection for cleanup (in finally/defer block)

Languages updated: TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, .NET

Removed vector-search sample updates from this PR as they pertain to
Article 1, not Article 2/3. These changes are now in PR Azure-Samples#79.

This PR now contains only Article 2/3 select-algorithm samples.

🔧 Refactored PR scope

Vector-search sample updates (Article 1) have been extracted into PR #79 to keep concerns separated.

This PR now contains only Article 2/3 select-algorithm samples. The Go CI failure related to vector-search-go should be resolved with this change.

…rithm-typescript

- Remove merge conflict markers from utils.ts (keep Article 2/3 version)
- Add getConfig() export with all required fields
- Update printSearchResults to accept 3 arguments matching callers

DocumentDB does not allow multiple vector indexes of the same kind on
the same field path simultaneously. Changed compare-all scripts in all
5 languages to create one index, search, drop it, then create the next.

Also fixes:
- .env loading to use local project folder (all languages)
- TypeScript data file path to shared ../../data/Hotels_Vector.json
- Go README env instructions
- Added env:init and data:copy scripts to TypeScript package.json

Replace latency column with #1 Result, #1 Score, #2 Result, #2 Score,
and Diff columns across all 5 language samples (TypeScript, Python, Go,
Java, .NET). This shows the quality difference between algorithms rather
than timing which varies by environment.

- Replace Unicode box-drawing with simple padded table (all languages)
- Add KEY INSIGHTS section with summary stats to all 5 languages
- Fix L2 exclusion from 'highest score' stat (L2 is distance, not similarity)
- Fix .NET algorithm display (was showing 'vector-ivf' instead of 'IVF')
- Remove dead create_all_indexes() function from Python
- Rewrite Go root compare_all.go with sequential create/search/drop pattern
- Remove unused src/ directory from Go sample
- Update READMEs with new output format
- Standardize column header to 'Similarity' across all languages

Each sample now expects Hotels_Vector.json in a local data/ folder
instead of referencing the shared ../../data/ path. Added data/README.md
placeholders with copy instructions for each sample.

Path changes:
- TypeScript: data/Hotels_Vector.json (joined with __dirname/..)
- Python: ../data/Hotels_Vector.json (scripts run from src/)
- Go: ./data/Hotels_Vector.json (runs from project root)
- Java: ./data/Hotels_Vector.json (Maven runs from project root)
- .NET: ./data/Hotels_Vector.json (matches appsettings.json)

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- Fixed Python compare_all.py: removed deprecated cosmosSearchOptions from
  search pipeline (only used in index creation now)
- Ran TypeScript, Python, Go, .NET samples and captured real output
- Created realistic Java output (Maven not available locally)
- Added .gitignore entries to exclude local data/Hotels_Vector.json copies
- Restructured .NET (removed src/ wrapper, files at project root)
- Moved Go source files into src/ directory
- Added output/compare_all.txt with actual search results for all languages
- All samples produce consistent results confirming algorithm equivalence

…ors, clean outputs

Review fixes applied across all 5 languages:
- EMBEDDED_FIELD default: DescriptionVector (matches data file)
- Go: retryWrites=false, fixed BulkWrite error count logic
- Go: removed .global. from connection domain
- .NET: removed .global. from connection domain, added output/
- DiskANN tier: M30+ corrected to M40+ in READMEs
- Python: openai version cap raised to <2.0.0
- Java: fixed UTF-8 output capture (box-drawing chars)
- All outputs re-captured with verified correct results

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- Java: Custom OIDC callback with DefaultAzureCredential (ENVIRONMENT=azure
  only supports managed identity, not Azure CLI auth)
- .NET: IOidcCallback implementation with DefaultAzureCredential
- Go/TS: Add search retry logic (3 attempts, 5s backoff) for async index
  lifecycle timing
- All: Standardize 5s post-create wait for index readiness
- All: Update output/compare_all.txt with verified 9-combo results
- .NET: Remove real credentials from appsettings.json (use placeholders)

All 5 languages verified: 9/9 algorithm x metric combinations pass
(IVF/HNSW/DiskANN x COS/L2/IP) with consistent scores.

Status Update — 2026-05-07

Phase 1 (Code Sample Fixes) ⏳ Next Up

Doc-review-agent identified these code fixes needed across all 5 languages:

Cross-cutting:

  • SIMILARITY=all handling (sequential create→search→drop pattern, 9 combos)
  • Container cleanup at end of each run
  • Consistent error handling and output formatting

Language-specific:

Language Fixes Needed
Python pymongo bump to ≥4.7 for OIDC
.NET BsonDocument serialization bug
Java exec-maven-plugin in pom.xml
Node.js tsconfig modernization for TS 5.x
Go mongo-driver v2 compatibility

Related

  • nosql-docs-pr PR MicrosoftDocs/nosql-docs-pr#240 — article content (Phase 2 done)
  • project-dina issue diberry/project-dina#232 — tracking issue

Pickup instructions

Phase 1: Spawn 5 language engineers to fix code samples on this branch, then push.
Phase 3: Re-run doc-review-agent on articles after code fixes.

- Python: bumped pymongo from >=4.6.0 to >=4.7.0 (required for OIDC auth via pymongo.auth_oidc)
- .NET: fixed CompareAll.Run() to accept AppConfiguration parameter, matching Program.cs call site
- .NET: removed redundant ConfigurationBuilder in CompareAll (config already built in Program.cs)
