Description

The resulting index for my application is over 32gb, so there are not many Azure services to host on. Azure needs to integrate this into a product database to store the vectors as well, so the front end device does not need 32gb of vectors loaded in to memory.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. First clarify how SPTAG indexes over 32 GB could be stored and served through an Azure product database instead of loading all vectors on the front-end device; done means a defined, supported storage and serving approach.
