Go examples are in example/.
Build will construct the NGT database by importing the Vector data, please check the Input Format section at the bottom of the Build chapter for the file format to import.
$ ngtd build --help
NAME:
ngtd build - build ngtd index
USAGE:
ngtd build [command options] [arguments...]
OPTIONS:
--index value, -i value path to index (default: "/usr/share/ngtd/index")
--dimension value, -d value vector dimension size.(Must set if create new index) (default: -1)
--database-type value, -t value ngtd inner kvs type(redis, golevel, bolt or sqlite)
--database-path value, -p value ngtd inner kvs path(for golevel, bolt and sqlite) (default: "/usr/share/ngtd/db/kvs.db")
--redis-host value redis running host (default: "localhost")
--redis-port value redis running port (default: "6379")
--redis-password value redis password
--redis-database-index value, -I value list up 2 redis database indexes (default: 0, 1)
--text-delimiter value, -D value delimiter for text input (default: "\t", " ")
--pool value number of CPU using NGT indexing (default: 8)
--parallel-parse value number of CPU using input parser (default: 8)
Now, we support only text format.
It enables for id to use any character without delimiter1 and for vector elements to use decimal/hex format.
If you choice hex format, you must begin the value with "0x".
<id1><delimiter1><v11><delimiter2><v12><delimiter2>...<delimiter2><v1d>\n
<id2><delimiter1><v21><delimiter2><v22><delimiter2>...<delimiter2><v2d>\n
...
<id1><delimiter1><vn1><delimiter2><vn2><delimiter2>...<delimiter2><vnd>\n
