6.2.0 - Server-Side Batching, Proxy, multi2multivec-weaviate, Drop Vector Index, Query Profiling

The new version brings support for a number of features introduced in Weaviate v1.36 and v1.37.

SSB

We are happy to announce that weaviate-java-client now features a client for the new Server-Side Batching protocol.

List<WeaviateObject<Map<String, Object>>> myObjects;
try (BatchContext<Map<String, Object>> batch = client.batch.start()) {
    myObjects.forEach(batch::add);
} catch (InterruptedException e) { /* BatchContext is interruptible.  */ }

Proxy

Thanks to @fer-marino it is now possible to proxy your Weaviate connection and OIDC token-exchange requests.

Proxy proxy = new Proxy(
    /* scheme */ "https",
    /* host */ "example.com",
    /* port */ 4505,
    /* username */ "john_doe",
    /* password */ "pa$$w0rd");
WeaviateClient.connectToLocal(conn -> conn.proxy(proxy));

Third-party modules

The list of supported modules now includes multi2multivec-weaviate vectorizer.
The multi2vec-google module now also supports audio modality.

And more!
