Summary

For IndexHNSWPQ, I see the value for nbits is hardcoded to 8. I wanted to know if this could possibly be made configurable?

I saw this issue from several years ago: #259, where reasoning for not going above 8 nbits on CPU was over concerns of keeping table in l1/l2 cache. However, I am wondering if improved recall may be worth the tradeoff in additional latency. Additionally, for graph-based algorithms, where fewer distance computations are made, I am wondering if the latency impact from not fitting table in l1 cache may not be as pronounced.

Suppport for >8 bits per PQ has improved a lot, so we should support it in HNSW as well.

Easy to address here with a default value of 8

https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/blob/main/faiss/IndexHNSW.cpp#L889

the only issue is that the PQ parameters are intermixed with the HNSW parameters but there is no easy way around it wihtout breaking compatibiiuty.

Sure, let me see if I can make the change without breaking bwc. I assume that we could use default of 8 as a way to avoid this in most cases.

Updates faiss engine to enable hnsw and faiss to work together. For
HNSW, code_size must be equal to 8 (refer to
facebookresearch/faiss#3027). Therefore, the
index description string "HNSW32,PQXxY" does not work. Only "HNSW32,PQX"
ends up working.

Additionally, adds several unit tests and integration tests in order to
validate the functionality.

Indeed, PQ sizes with nbits > 8 are good tradeoffs, so it is interesting to support them.
