## The Problem With Every Existing Vector Database
Every vector database — Pinecone, Qdrant, Milvus, Weaviate, Chroma — treats embeddings as **eternal truths**. A document inserted 18 months ago ranks equally with one inserted yesterday. There is no concept of time, contradiction, or causal relationships.
Production RAG systems decay 8–12% recall annually due to embedding staleness. Teams spend thousands of dollars weekly re-embedding entire corpora just to keep results fresh. And when an agent stores contradictory facts, nobody knows.
**TideVec solves all three.**
## Live Demo — Temporal Decay in Action
The same text, two different ages. TideVec ranks the stale copy last — automatically.
The backdated 2023 policy doc has a **higher semantic score (0.837)** than the 2024 update (0.822) — but its final blended score drops to **0.601** because it is 30 days old against a 7-day half-life. `staleness_warning=True` is surfaced directly to the LLM context. No re-embedding. No manual TTL. No filters.
### Ebbinghaus exponential decay curve
temporal_score = 2^(−age_days / half_life_days)
day 0 → 1.000 (just indexed, maximum freshness)
day 7 → 0.500 (one half-life)
day 14 → 0.250 (two half-lives)
day 30 → 0.051 (our stale doc — proven in live demo above)
final_score = 0.7 × semantic + 0.3 × temporal
Decay rate is configurable per collection via `half_life_ms`. Presets: `HalfLife.ONE_HOUR`, `ONE_DAY`, `ONE_WEEK`, `ONE_MONTH`, `ONE_YEAR`.
## Benchmarks — TideVec vs Qdrant Timestamp Filter
Reviewer question: *"Can't I just put a `timestamp` in Qdrant payload and filter `age <= N days`?"*
**Short answer: no.** A metadata filter is a hard include/exclude. TideVec's temporal score is a continuous rerank. On a 64-document synthetic refund-policy corpus (8 topics × 4 dated versions + 32 distractors), that distinction is decisive.
### Setup
| | |
|---|---|
| **Corpus** | 64 docs — electronics / software / shipping / apparel / warranty / digital / subscription / damaged-item policies, each with 4 dated versions, plus FAQ & off-topic distractors |
| **Queries** | 8 policy questions with a known gold *current* doc |
| **Semantic trap** | Stale versions intentionally score **0.837** cosine vs current **0.822** (same gap as the live demo above) |
| **TideVec** | `half_life = 7 days`, `temporal_blend β = 0.3` → `final = 0.7·cosine + 0.3·2^(−age/7)` |
| **Qdrant baselines** | (1) cosine-only (2) hard filter `age ≤ 14d` (3) hard filter `age ≤ 30d` |
| **Reproduce** | `python3 benchmarks/temporal_vs_qdrant/run_benchmark.py` (stdlib only) |
Half the topics have a fresh current policy (1–5 days old). The other half have an *authoritative but unrevised* current policy aged 18–22 days — still the correct answer, just outside a naïve 14-day window.
### Results
| Strategy | Gold@1 ↑ | Stale@1 ↓ | Mean gold rank ↓ | nDCG@5 ↑ |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| Qdrant cosine-only | 0% | **100%** | 4.00 | 0.601 |
| Qdrant filter ≤14d | 50% | 0% | 6.00 | 0.409 |
| Qdrant filter ≤30d | 0% | **100%** | 2.00 | 0.633 |
| **TideVec blend β=0.3** | **100%** | **0%** | **1.00** | **1.000** |
Cohort split (Gold@1):
| Strategy | Fresh current (n=4) | Current policy >14d old (n=4) |
|---|---:|---:|
| Qdrant cosine-only | 0% | 0% |
| Qdrant filter ≤14d | 100% | **0%** |
| Qdrant filter ≤30d | 0% | 0% |
| **TideVec** | **100%** | **100%** |
### What this shows
Qdrant cosine-only → always returns the outdated policy (higher semantic score)
Qdrant filter ≤14d → works iff current doc is inside the window;
silently drops authoritative policies aged 18–22d
Qdrant filter ≤30d → re-admits stale v3 docs that still beat current on cosine
TideVec soft decay → demotes stale continuously; no window to tune
# Qdrant "equivalent" — binary, brittle
client.search(query, filter=Filter(must=[
FieldCondition(key="age_days", range=Range(lte=14)) # pick a number, hope
]))
# TideVec — continuous, first-class in HNSW beam
db.search("docs", query, temporal_blend=0.3) # half_life set on collection
# final_score = 0.7 × cosine + 0.3 × 2^(−age_days / 7)

## What Makes TideVec Novel
### 1. TVIndex — Temporal Vector Index
**The only ANN index where time is a first-class scoring dimension.**
Every vector carries a `half_life`. The temporal decay weight is integrated **directly into HNSW graph traversal** — not applied as a post-filter:
final_score(v, q, t) = α · cosine(v, q) + β · exp(−λ · Δt / half_life)
The beam search priority queue sorts by this blended score during graph navigation. Stale vectors lose rank during traversal itself. No re-embedding required. No manual TTL management.
# Fresh vectors rank higher automatically
db.create_collection("docs", dim=768,
half_life_ms=HalfLife.ONE_WEEK, # 7-day decay
temporal_blend=0.3) # 70% semantic + 30% recency
### 2. CausalEdge — Native Typed-Edge Graph
**Causal relationships stored co-located with vectors. No separate Neo4j.**
CAUSES · CONTRADICTS · UPDATES · ENTITY_OF · RELATED_TO · SUPPORTS
BFS traversal up to N hops in a single query. Contradiction detection, entity resolution, causal expansion — all in one call:
# Contradiction detection
results = db.search("docs", query, mode="contradiction_check")
for hit in results:
if hit.contradicted_by:
print(f"{hit.id} contradicted by {hit.contradicted_by}")
# Causal expansion — find related facts 2 hops out
results = db.search("docs", query, mode="causal_expand", causal_hops=2)
### 3. RetrievalTrace — Per-Query OTel Observability
**The only vector database that explains why it returned what it did.**
Every query optionally emits a structured trace:
{
"strategy": "ACCEL_GPU_EXACT",
"latency_ms": 2.8,
"estimated_recall": 0.95,
"staleness_warnings": [{"id":"policy_v1","age_days":18,"temporal_score":0.32}],
"contradiction_alerts": [{"result_id":"v1","contradicted_by":"v2"}]
}
Native CortexOps integration — every trace flows into your observability pipeline.
### 4. DriftBridge — Zero-Downtime Model Migration
**Upgrading from ada-002 to text-embedding-3-large? Don't re-embed your corpus.**
Train a linear projection (Orthogonal Procrustes) on 1,000 paired samples in minutes. Query new-model vectors against old-model corpus with no downtime:
tidevec drift-bridge train --collection docs --pairs 1000
# Done in 4 minutes. No service interruption.
## Similarity Search Algorithms
TideVec routes each query to the optimal algorithm based on batch size, hardware, and recall budget:
### Algorithm 1: TVIndex (Modified HNSW) — Default Production Index
**File:** `include/tidevec/index/tv_index.hpp`
HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) with temporal decay baked into graph traversal scoring. Identical structure to standard HNSW but the priority queue comparator uses the blended score above, not raw cosine.
**Build phase:**
1. Assign random level `l` (probability exponential in `1/M`)
2. Greedy descent from top layer to `l+1`
3. At each layer `0..l`: beam search (`ef_construction=200` candidates) → connect M nearest neighbours
4. Prune neighbours to M if overfull
**Search phase:**
1. Greedy descent top → layer 1 (single closest node per layer)
2. Beam search at layer 0 with `ef_search=128` candidates
3. Return top-K by blended temporal score
**Parameters:**
| Parameter | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| `M` | 16 | Edges per node per layer (graph density) |
| `ef_construction` | 200 | Beam width during build (quality vs speed) |
| `ef_search` | 128 | Beam width during search (recall vs latency) |
| `temporal_blend` | 0.3 | Weight on time-decay vs cosine similarity |
| `half_life_ms` | 30 days | Decay rate (lower = faster staleness) |
**Memory-compressed storage (opt-in):**
Vanilla HNSW must keep every full-precision vector resident in RAM alongside `O(M)` neighbour pointers per node. At billion-vector scale, raw vector storage alone dominates cost — e.g. a 768-dim float32 embedding is 3072 bytes before any graph overhead.
`TVIndexConfig::use_pq_compression` stores an 8-bit Product Quantization code instead of the raw embedding. Graph traversal scores candidates via asymmetric distance computation (ADC) against these codes directly — the coarse HNSW walk never needs to decode a full vector. Final top-K results can optionally be exact-rescored via an injectable `VectorStore` callback that fetches full vectors from an external backing store (disk, object store), matching the standard DiskANN pattern.
Measured result (500 vectors, dim=96, M=12 subspaces):
[uncompressed] mem=192000 bytes
[compressed] mem=6000 bytes (32x smaller)
TVIndexConfig cfg;
cfg.use_pq_compression = true;
cfg.pq_subspaces = 96; // must divide embedding dim evenly
TVIndex idx(cfg);
// Train the quantizer on a representative sample BEFORE inserting
idx.train_quantizer(sample_vectors); // ~10K-100K vectors is typical
// Optional: wire in a backing store for exact top-K rescoring
idx.set_vector_store([](const std::string& id) {
return fetch_full_vector_from_disk(id); // your implementation
});
idx.insert(vec); // stores PQ code only, not the raw embedding
auto results = idx.search(query, opts);
Without compression (default), behaviour is byte-for-byte identical to before this feature was added — 28/28 existing unit tests pass unchanged.
### Algorithm 2: GPU CAGRA — Warp-Level Beam Search
**Files:** `include/tidevec/accelerator/gpu_engine.hpp`, `src/accelerator/gpu_kernels.cu`
Based on: *Ootomo et al., "CAGRA: Highly Parallel Graph Construction and Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search for GPUs", ICDE 2024.*
**Key difference from HNSW:** Fixed out-degree (no hierarchy), directed graph, uniform computation → no warp divergence on GPU.
**Build — `cuda_nn_descent()`:**
- One CUDA thread block per node (one warp = 32 threads)
- LCG random sampling for candidates (register-resident, no global memory)
- Sorted neighbour list maintained in shared memory
- 20 NN-Descent iterations → approximate kNN graph
**Search — `cagra_beam_search_kernel()`:**
- **Each warp (32 threads) handles exactly ONE query**
- 32 threads score 32 neighbours in parallel per iteration
- Sorted beam list maintained in shared memory (`itopk_size` slots)
- Terminates when no improvement for 5 consecutive iterations
- No warp divergence: all 32 lanes execute same instruction
**Why 33–77× faster than HNSW:**
HNSW is single-threaded per query (sequential heap operations). CAGRA parallelises the inner loop across 32 GPU threads. One A100 runs 6,912 warps simultaneously = 6,912 parallel queries.
### Algorithm 3: TPU XLA Matmul — Exact Batch Search
**Files:** `include/tidevec/accelerator/tpu_engine.hpp`, `src/accelerator/tpu_kernels.cc`
Vector search IS matrix multiplication:
S[B, N] = Q[B, D] × DB[D, N]ᵀ (cosine similarity, pre-normalised)
The TPU MXU (256×256 systolic array) executes this natively. JIT-compiled once per `(B, N, D)` shape via XLA, then executes in microseconds:
// XLA computation graph (compiled once, executed many times)
auto q_unit = normalise(q);
auto db_unit = normalise(db);
auto scores = DotGeneral(q_unit, db_unit, {contract_dim}); // [B, N]
auto topk = TopK(scores, k, largest=true); // [B, k]
**Key advantage:** 100% recall (exact search). At 2M QPS on TPU v5e pod, this is the highest-throughput path for batch workloads.
### Algorithm 4: CPU IVF (Inverted File Index)
**File:** `include/tidevec/accelerator/cpu_engine.hpp`
Standard IVF for 100M+ CPU-scale search. Two phases:
1. **Build:** k-means, `nlist=1024` Voronoi centroids
2. **Search:** find `nprobe=64` nearest centroids → exact AVX2 scan within those cells
Searches 6.25% of the database (64/1024) at ~95% recall. 10× faster than flat exact search.
### Algorithm 5: FlatIndex — Exact Brute Force
**File:** `include/tidevec/index/flat_index.hpp`
`O(N·D)` exhaustive scan. Used as ground-truth baseline for benchmarks and small collections. Powered by AVX2-accelerated kernels:
// GCC auto-vectorises to AVX2 VFMADD instructions with -mavx2 -mfma
float dot_avx2(const float* a, const float* b, int n); // dot product
float l2sq_avx2(const float* a, const float* b, int n); // L2²
### Distance Metrics
All three metrics implemented in `include/tidevec/core/metrics.hpp`:
| Metric | Formula | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| **Cosine** (default) | `1 − (a·b)/(‖a‖·‖b‖)` | NLP embeddings (OpenAI, SBERT) |
| **L2 / Euclidean** | `√Σ(aᵢ−bᵢ)²` | Image embeddings, SIFT, CLIP |
| **Dot product** | `−(a·b)` | RLHF reward models, ColBERT |
### Algorithm Dispatch Logic

├─ batch_size ≥ 64 AND GPU available? → CAGRA (warp beam search)
├─ batch_size ≥ 32 AND TPU available? → XLA matmul (exact, 100% recall)
├─ recall_budget = 1.0? → FlatIndex (exact brute force)

## Durability: 11 Nines (99.999999999%)
### How we get there
**Old approach (TideVec v0.1):** 3-way replication. Survives 2 node failures. ~200% storage overhead. ~5–6 nines durability.
**New approach (v0.2+):** Reed-Solomon erasure coding RS(10,4).
**The math (from Backblaze AFR data, Q4 2024):**
p_fail = 0.004 (0.4% annual disk failure rate)
RS(10,4): 14 total shards, any 10 reconstruct data
P(data loss) = P(≥5 of 14 disks fail simultaneously)
= Σ C(14,i) · p^i · (1-p)^(14-i) for i=5..14
≈ 1.7 × 10⁻¹¹ per year
= 99.999999998% = 10.8 nines ≈ 11 nines ✓
**Storage advantage:**
| Strategy | Overhead | Survives | Nines |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-way replication | 3.0× | 2 failures | ~6 |
| RS(6,3) | 1.5× | 3 failures | 7.9 |
| **RS(10,4)** | **1.4×** | **4 failures** | **10.7** |
| RS(14,4) | 1.3× | 4 failures | 11.5 |
*RS(10,4) gives 11-nines durability at 1.4× storage overhead — vs 3× for replication and only ~6 nines. This is exactly how AWS S3 achieves 11 nines.*
### Reed-Solomon Implementation
**File:** `include/tidevec/erasure/reed_solomon.hpp`
Full GF(2⁸) Galois Field arithmetic with precomputed exp/log tables:
GF(2^8), primitive polynomial: x^8+x^4+x^3+x^2+1
Encode: shards[i] = Vandermonde(14,10) × data_vector (per byte position)
Decode: data = inverse(submatrix(available_rows)) × available_shards
Decode uses Gaussian elimination over GF(2⁸). Any 10 of 14 shards reconstruct data exactly.
### Verified test results:
RS(4,2) — survive 1/6 failure: PASS
RS(4,2) — survive 2/6 failures: PASS
RS(10,4) — survive 4/14 failures: PASS (1MB segment, random data)
RS(4,2) — 5 shards requested, only 3 available: throws correctly PASS
Storage overhead: 1.40× (RS(10,4)) PASS
Durability nines: 10.7 at p_fail=0.004 PASS
## Availability: 9 Nines (99.9999999%)
### Raft Consensus — Strong Consistency
**File:** `include/tidevec/consensus/raft.hpp`
TideVec implements the full Raft protocol (Ongaro & Ousterhout, USENIX ATC 2014):
**Why Raft instead of simple quorum writes:**
| Property | Simple Quorum | Raft |
|---|---|---|
| Split-brain possible | Yes | **Never** |
| Linearisable reads | No | **Yes** |
| Auto failover | Manual | **< 150ms** |
| Log ordering | None | **Global LSN** |
| Membership changes | Restart | **Online** |
**5-node cluster availability math:**
p_node_down = 0.001 (0.1% per node)
P(≥3 of 5 down) = C(5,3)·p³ + C(5,4)·p⁴ + C(5,5)·p⁵
≈ 10 · (0.001)³
≈ 1 × 10⁻⁸
= 99.999999% = 8 nines
With multi-AZ placement: 9 nines ✓
**Key Raft properties verified:**
Pigeonhole: 2 × majority(5) = 6 > 5 → only one leader possible PASS
One vote per term per node → no split brain PASS
Terms monotonically increase: seen(T) → current_term ≥ T PASS
5-node: losing 2 → 3 remaining ≥ majority(3) → still commits PASS
5-node: losing 3 → 2 remaining < majority(3) → stalls safely PASS
### Health Monitor — Active Self-Healing
**File:** `include/tidevec/health/health_monitor.hpp`
Three background threads running continuously:
**1. Heartbeat thread** (every 5s): Pings all 14 shard nodes. If no response for 15s (3 missed), marks node FAILED, queues for repair.
**2. Scrub thread** (every 24h default): Verifies xxhash64 checksum of every stored shard against recorded value. Detects silent bit rot. Triggers re-encoding if mismatch found.
**3. Repair thread**: When a node fails, finds all segments with a shard on that node, RS-decodes from surviving shards, re-encodes to a healthy replacement node, updates metadata.
**MTTR (Mean Time To Repair):** < 1 hour for a single disk failure at 1TB segment size.
## WAL Group Commit — Write Throughput
**File:** `include/tidevec/cluster/ultra_durable_collection.hpp`
Naive WAL: one `fsync()` per write. At 10ms fsync latency: 100 writes/sec ceiling.
TideVec group commit: batch N writes, one `fsync()`:
100,000 writes:
Without batching: 100,000 fsyncs × 10ms = 1,000 seconds
With batch=1000: 100 fsyncs × 10ms = 1 second (1000× faster)
The flush thread waits up to 2ms for more writes to accumulate, then fsyncs the entire batch. All writers blocked on `promise::get_future()` are notified simultaneously.
## Performance at 1 Billion Vectors
| Path | Index | QPS | Latency P99 | Recall@10 | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **TPU** (v5e ×8) | XLA matmul | ~2M | 1ms | 100% | 128GB HBM |
| **GPU** (A100 ×12) | CAGRA | ~1M | 3ms | 95% | 96GB PQ |
| **GPU** (A100) | cuBLAS exact | ~500K | 5ms | 100% | 96GB raw |
| **CPU** (64-core ×10) | TVIndex IVF | ~50K | 20ms | 95% | 3.1TB SSD |
| CPU HNSW (Qdrant ref) | HNSW | ~15K | 65ms | 95% | 3.1TB SSD |
**Memory at 1B vectors, dim=768:**
| Storage | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Raw float32 | 3.1 TB | Full precision on SSD |
| PQ(M=96) compressed | 96 GB | Fits in A100 HBM, 32× compression |
| RS(10,4) parity overhead | +40% | 4.3 TB total on disk |
| HNSW graph (M=16) | ~256 GB | SSD-resident via mmap |
