Description
### Feature request
I'd suggest adding Qdrant (https://qdrant.tech) as another search index available, so users can directly build an index from a dataset. Currently, FAISS and ElasticSearch are only supported: https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/faiss_es
### Motivation
ElasticSearch is a keyword-based search system, while FAISS is a vector search library. Vector database, such as Qdrant, is a different tool based on similarity (like FAISS) but is not limited to a single machine. It makes the vector database well-suited for bigger datasets and collaboration if several people want to access a particular dataset.
### Your contribution
I can provide a PR implementing that functionality on my own.
