  NeighborArray
  NeighborArray encodes the neighbors of a node and their mutual scores in the HNSW graph as a pair of growable arrays.
  NeighborQueue
  NeighborQueue uses a `TernaryLongHeap` to store lists of arcs in an HNSW graph, represented as a neighbor node id with an associated score packed together as a sortable long, which is sorted primarily by score.
  OnHeapHnswGraph
  An `HnswGraph` where all nodes and connections are held in memory.

  Creates a default scorer for random access vectors.
  RandomVectorScorerSupplier
  A supplier that creates `RandomVectorScorer` from an ordinal.
  UpdateableRandomVectorScorer

  UpdateableRandomVectorScorer.AbstractUpdateableRandomVectorScorer
  Creates a default scorer for random access vectors.
