Description

Expected Behavior

The Oracle AI Database vector store implementation should support HNSW vector indexing.

Current Behavior

Only the default IVF index is supported, though the HNSW value exists as an enum.

Context

HNSW has been supported in Oracle for a while, it's quite relevant to add the alternate index type to Spring AI. Additionally, the index parameters should be rolled into the autoconfiguration so both IVF and HNSW are configurable (neighbors, partitions, etc.).

I can take up this issue.

Research direction

Start by locating the Oracle AI Database vector store implementation and its autoconfiguration, then trace the existing IVF default and the HNSW enum value. Done means HNSW can be selected and index parameters such as neighbors and partitions are configurable for both IVF and HNSW.
