Description
Regarding spann, I would like to ask a few questions, as follows:
- Regarding KMeans clustering, what is the limit for each cluster center? If it exceeds this limit, will it be re divided into one or multiple layers?
- When does the centroid in memory need to be updated after clustering is completed?
- After completing clustering, should the new vector data be written directly into posting list in the disk or stored as centroids in memory?
- When will KMeans clustering be done again?
- There are too many clusters, will they be clustered with KMeans clustering algorithms again?
- What is the difference between sptag and sptag++ ?
- One question about Hierarchical data partition and partial search, as follows:
Does each query require two steps: 1) Distributed dispatch and 2) Local Search?
What are the transactions for these two steps?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks very much.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the SPTAG documentation and architecture material for KMeans, hierarchical partitioning, partial search, and the distinction between SPTAG and SPTAG++; done would require maintainer-confirmed answers or linked documentation.
