ADR 001: Vector-Only Published Storage
Context
RAGler needs efficient retrieval-oriented storage for published knowledge with metadata filtering.
Decision
Use Qdrant as the primary published knowledge store instead of adding a separate SQL store for core retrieval data.
Consequences
- Simplifies retrieval architecture.
- Requires careful payload modeling for metadata needs.
Alternatives considered
- Split SQL metadata + vector DB.
- Full SQL + external embedding index.
