What's being changed:

Adds a new guide for enabling RQ 8-bit compression on existing collections in Weaviate Cloud clusters.

Navigation:

  • Create new "Manage collections" section under Cloud docs

New documentation:

  • Instructions for enabling RQ compression on HNSW, dynamic, and legacy (pre-v1.24) collections
  • Code snippets for Python and TypeScript
  • Snippets to list collections by index type and batch-up multiple collections
  • Provide guidance on performance considerations for large clusters / collections

Type of change:

  • Documentation content updates (non-breaking change to fix/update documentation )
  • Bug fix (non-breaking change to fixes an issue with the site)
  • Feature or enhancements (non-breaking change to add functionality)

How has this been tested?

  • Local build - the site works as expected when running yarn start

- Fix attribute path: use vector_config.vector_index_config.quantizer
  instead of vector_config.quantizer
- Use type(quantizer).__name__ instead of quantizer.type (which doesn't exist)
- Add support for legacy collections (pre-named vectors) by checking
  config.vector_index_config directly when config.vector_config is empty
- Remove flat index update example (compression is immutable on flat indexes)
- Update dynamic index example to only modify HNSW config (flat is immutable)
- Add batch processing recommendation (limit ~100 collections per batch)
- Add warnings about cluster instability when updating too many collections
- Update performance considerations with batching guidelines
- Create new "Manage collections" section in cloud sidebar
- Move enable-compression.mdx from manage-clusters to manage-collections
- Update sidebar_position to 1 for the new section
