Deprecates the existing single CagraIndex.Builder, which accepts incompatible parameters and sources, and replaces it with four builders, one per index source, each accepting only the parameters that apply to that source. The old Builder now rejects incompatible inputs that it previously ignored silently. When no index parameters are given, both the deprecated and the new builders now use the CagraIndexParams.Builder defaults. The new fromSerialized leaves the stream open, which is more idiomatic for Java, while the deprecated from(InputStream) still closes it.

Fixes #2672

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added dedicated CAGRA index-building options for dense datasets, BBQ-encoded data, existing graphs, and serialized indexes.
    • Loading through the serialized-index option leaves the input stream open; the legacy loading method continues to close it.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded Java API guidance with builder usage, input ownership, supported configurations, and build constraints.
    • Marked older builder methods deprecated and documented their replacements.

CAGRA's builder now offers typed source-specific flows for datasets, BBQ quantizers, graphs, and serialized indexes. The provider validates those flows and preserves deprecated setter behavior with explicit restrictions. Tests, documentation, examples, benchmarks, and Lucene call sites use the new API.

Changes: CAGRA Builder

Layer / File(s) Summary
Builder contracts and API reference
java/cuvs-java/src/main/java/com/nvidia/cuvs/CagraIndex.java, java/cuvs-java/src/main/java22/com/nvidia/cuvs/internal/CagraIndexImpl.java, fern/pages/java_api/*, fern/scripts/generate_api_reference.py
The public API defines source-specific builders for datasets, BBQ quantizers, graphs, and serialized indexes, and marks the previous setter-based methods deprecated. The API reference describes input constraints, ownership, and build rules. The reference generator updates Java signature and link parsing.
Provider builder and resource behavior
java/cuvs-java/src/main/java22/com/nvidia/cuvs/internal/CagraIndexImpl.java
The provider implements typed builder flows and their validation. It retains deprecated setter behavior, rejects ignored or incompatible inputs, leaves typed deserialization streams open, and cleans up failed graph construction.
Builder validation and compatibility tests
java/cuvs-java/src/test/java/com/nvidia/cuvs/CagraIndexBuilderIT.java, java/cuvs-java/src/test/java/com/nvidia/cuvs/CagraIndexDeprecatedBuilderIT.java
New integration tests cover single-use constraints, input validation, stream behavior, deprecated setter compatibility, rejected combinations, and retries after failed builds.
BBQ configurations and encoding coverage
java/cuvs-java/src/test/java/com/nvidia/cuvs/CagraBbqIT.java
BBQ tests cover quantizer metrics, default parameters, layout combinations, and a derived transposed 2-bit encoding.
Examples and downstream call sites
examples/java/cuvs-java/src/main/java/com/nvidia/cuvs/examples/*, fern/pages/java_guidelines.md, fern/pages/neighbors/cagra.md, java/benchmarks/src/main/java/com/nvidia/cuvs/CagraIndexBenchmarks.java, java/cuvs-java/src/test/java/com/nvidia/cuvs/*IT.java, java/cuvs-lucene/src/main/java/com/nvidia/cuvs/lucene/*
Examples, benchmarks, integration tests, and Lucene call sites replace legacy dataset and deserialization methods with source-specific methods. Examples and guidelines also show dataset ownership and stream lifecycle handling.

Show dataset cleanup when a build fails. These examples remove automatic matrix cleanup, but fromDataset transfers ownership only after build() succeeds. A failed build leaves each matrix caller-owned and open.

Track dataset ownership until build() succeeds.

fromDataset(CuVSMatrix) leaves ownership with the caller when build() throws. writeCagraIndex does not close dataset on that path, so a failed CAGRA build can leak native memory before the brute-force fallback runs.

Use the existing Utils.ownDataset(dataset) pattern and call ownedIndex.transferTo(index) immediately after build() succeeds. This closes the dataset on build failure and the index after successful use. The fallback is conditional on Utils.handleThrowableWithIgnore returning.

We are now creating new source specific builders but not making this clear in the top level interface since they are hidden behind methods on the generic builder. Did you consider methods that make the new builder types directly visible e.g. newDatasetBuilder(), newGraphBuilder(), newSerializedBuilder(), etc?

This would also provide a cleaner deprecation boundary i.e. deprecate the generic newBuilder() entry point and its returned type instead of individual builder methods.

Yes, that was one of the first approaches I considered, along with several others, but in the end I went with this one. The problem is that each entry point on CagraIndex has to reach the implementation through CuVSProvider. Deprecating newBuilder/Builder as a whole would mean adding one provider method per source. That's four new SPI methods, each a default that throws UOE, and every wrapper, such as FilterCuVSProvider, has to forward them. That in turn leads to a number of other potential issues and makes migrating from the current builders more complicated. So, after experimenting with it for a while, I decided to keep newBuilder(res) and add the fromSomething methods to it. That's also more consistent with the other builders in the project, which all start from newBuilder(res).
