Description
Currently, we only use the ColBERT optimised indexes, or index-free in-memory encodings.
For low-to-medium volumes of documents, not using the ColBERT optimisation can have advantages: easier CRUD, potentially better performance, the concept is easier to grasp, quicker indexing time... (and tradeoffs: much bigger footprint, no constant-time querying, etc...)
We should provide the ability to create both kinds of indexes, and let the user decide which indexing style they wish to use.
