…IA#2654) BBQ is a data compression technique that is a variant of RaBitQ. It is used in Lucene and Elasticsearch to compresses vectors while keeping search fast and accurate. Supporting it in cuVS enables indexing on data compressed up to ~32× With this PR cuVS users will be able to build a CAGRA index using the NN-Descent algorithm with their BBQ-Quantized Data.

Review comments at @cpp/include/cuvs/neighbors/hnsw.hpp:
- Around line 1470-1477: Update the `max_host_memory_gb` documentation in the
C++ API, C header, Python and Java docstrings, and fern pages to state that the
budget applies to both base-topology and upper-topology reorder buffers, with
fixed streaming overhead of about 256 MiB in addition to the budget. Remove
claims that the budget covers only the base-topology buffer or that peak host
memory stays close to the budget.
Review comments at @cpp/src/neighbors/detail/hnsw.hpp:
- Around line 3324-3335: Update the base-region bucket sizing around
`id_record_spiller` so `num_buckets` cannot exceed a fixed safe maximum;
recompute `rows_per_bucket` from that cap while keeping it bounded by `n_rows`.
Apply the same capped sizing to the upper-region path so neither path opens an
unbounded number of files.

Render the existing Doxygen usage example.
The public header already contains a materialize_to_hnswlib example. The Fern generator preserves the Usage example: heading but does not render entry.code_blocks. Update render_native_function to emit the existing code block before **Parameters**, then regenerate the page. Do not add a duplicate example or remove the heading.

Encode artifact and output paths as UTF-8.
buildMemorySegment(Arena, String) casts each Java character to one byte. A non-ASCII layeredArtifactPath or outputPath therefore names a different file in the native call. Use the same UTF-8 string allocation used for datasetPath.

#2148 added a HNSW layered index that compacts the HNSW index by stripping out the dataset. This can be especially beneficial if the index is built on an accelerated machine and moved over a network to a search node. This proposal adds
cuvs::neighbors::hnsw::materialize_to_hnswlib, a file-to-file API that converts aGRAPH_ONLYartifact (graph topology only, stored in ACE/build order) plus its original-ID-ordered dataset into a standard hnswlib index file.Public API (
cpp/include/cuvs/neighbors/hnsw.hpp)I don't think there is a similar API in cuVS nor hnswlib. Thus, I've aligned the naming with the existing
serialize_to_hnswliband usedmaterializeto clarify that the result is a hnswlib index file. I'm open for other naming suggestions.A single entry point covers all dtypes: the element type (
float,half,uint8_t,int8_t) isread from the artifact header and dispatched internally.
Implementation (
cpp/src/neighbors/detail/hnsw.hpp)The goal is to minimize the random access necessary for the ID reordering. The random access in main memory is cheap but severe for disk I/O. Thus, two passes are used:
layout constants from a dummy single-element index, compute the output layout,
posix_fallocatethe output, and write the native hnswlib header.
