Vector stores

At a glance

The community member is considering using Weaviate Vector Store instead of Pinecone, but has found that Weaviate does not support adding or deleting properties to the schema, requiring the deletion and re-addition of nodes to change the schema. Another community member advises that the schema issue with Weaviate is a "turn off" and suggests Pinecone or the option of Qdrant, which they say is "catching up fast". The second comment provides some information on how Qdrant allows overwriting the entire payload with a new schema or adding new fields to the existing schema, and suggests checking the Qdrant documentation or their Discord for more details.

Useful resources
hey @Logan M @ravitheja @jerryjliu0
would you advise using Weaviate Vector Store instead of Pinecone?
(as I just found that Weaviate does not support adding or deleting properties to the schema. so changing any schema would require to delete and adding the nodes again)

Yea in my opinion,the schema thing with weaviate is a bit of a turn off, really awkward dev ux

Pinecone is alright. Other options like qdrant are catching up fast too
@Siddhant Saurabh

here are some resources that you can probably check on qdrant end:

Qdrant allows you to even overwrite the entire payload with a new schema if you want to: https://qdrant.tech/documentation/concepts/payload/#overwrite-payload

If you're looking for is "Set": https://qdrant.tech/documentation/concepts/payload/#set-payload

You add a new field to the existing schema this way.

You can ask these things on their discord if you wish to explore qdrant.
