Question about metadata indexing

Question about metadata indexing behavior: does it apply to existing vectors or only to those created after the metadata index is created? otherwise, does it backfill the index async?

based on the behavior I'm seeing, I'm going to assume it's post-hoc šŸ‘€ šŸ˜„

As of now, metadata filtering can only be applied for vectors that are inserted after metadata indexes have been created. That's why we would recommend creating metadata indexes right after index creation, and before any vectors are inserted.
