FAQPage Schema
How do I build a RAG application with Delta Lake integration?▼

Build a RAG application with Delta Lake integration by using this managed vector similarity search service to automatically generate embeddings and query data through semantic, hybrid, or full-text search modes.

What is the difference between Delta Sync and Direct Access vector indexes?▼

Delta Sync indexes automatically synchronize with Delta Lake tables, while Direct Access indexes allow direct querying of source data. Both support managed embedding generation for semantic search applications.

How do I perform semantic search on a document repository?▼

Perform semantic search on a document repository by creating a vector index, utilizing automatic embedding generation, and querying the managed similarity search service using available filtering options.

Does databricks-ai-search support hybrid search and full-text search?▼

Yes, the service supports hybrid search and full-text search alongside semantic search. These multiple search modes include various filtering options to improve knowledge base query experiences.

What are the endpoint options for managing a vector similarity search service?▼

The vector similarity search service offers Standard and Storage-Optimized endpoint types. Standard endpoints provide lower latency, while Storage-Optimized endpoints handle different capacity characteristics.
