This directory adds support running experiments against Pinecone - a managed vector database.

It supports connecting to both Pod-based and Serverless indexes.

To run VSB against a Pinecone index:

1. Invoke VSB with --database=pinecone and provide your API key to VSB. A serverless index will be created for you, using aws/us-east-1.

vsb --database=pinecone --workload=mnist-test \
    --pinecone_api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>

If you wish to configure the created index or use an already existing one, specify the name and/or spec with --pinecone_index_name and --pinecone_index_spec. The --pinecone_index_spec option takes a JSON string described in the Pinecone docs.

vsb --database=pinecone --workload=mnist-test \
    --pinecone_api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY> \
    --pinecone_index_name=<YOUR_INDEX_NAME> \
    --pinecone_index_spec=<YOUR_INDEX_SPEC>
