Description
The CAGRA+HNSW search function is using uint64_t when all ANN search functions are using int64_t. It would be better to unify this API.
Milvus created a fix for this on Raft : https://github.com/rapidsai/raft/commit/10f5414eaa895ee0d566fa2932eb102c518bfcb4

Research direction
Start at the CAGRA+HNSW search function and compare its parameter types with the other ANN search functions. Use the referenced Raft commit for context; done means the search API uses int64_t consistently instead of uint64_t.
