Description
I suppose there are about 19 parameters of BKT index in the code, which may influence the performance/accuracy tradeoff seriously. Can someone post a simpler guide to demonstrate how to tune these parameters?

Research direction
Start by locating the BKT index implementation and its parameter definitions in the SPTAG code, then identify how the roughly 19 parameters affect performance and accuracy. A completed change should provide a simpler tuning guide that explains the parameters and their tradeoffs; the issue does not name a specific file or test.
