  - ### searchNearestVectors

    public final void searchNearestVectors(String field, float[] target, KnnCollector knnCollector, AcceptDocs acceptDocs) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `LeafReader`
    Return the k nearest neighbor documents as determined by comparison of their vector values for this field, to the given vector, by the field's similarity function. The score of each document is derived from the vector similarity in a way that ensures scores are positive and that a larger score corresponds to a higher ranking.

    The search is allowed to be approximate, meaning the results are not guaranteed to be the true k closest neighbors. For large values of k (for example when k is close to the total number of documents), the search may also retrieve fewer than k documents.

    The returned `TopDocs` will contain a `ScoreDoc` for each nearest neighbor, in order of their similarity to the query vector (decreasing scores). The `TotalHits` contains the number of documents visited during the search. If the search stopped early because it hit `visitedLimit`, it is indicated through the relation `TotalHits.Relation.GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO`.

    The behavior is undefined if the given field doesn't have KNN vectors enabled on its `FieldInfo`. The return value is never `null`.

    Specified by:
      `searchNearestVectors` in class `LeafReader`
    Parameters:
      `field` - the vector field to search
      `target` - the vector-valued query
      `knnCollector` - collector with settings for gathering the vector results.
      `acceptDocs` - `AcceptDocs` that represents the allowed documents to match
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### searchNearestVectors

    public final void searchNearestVectors(String field, byte[] target, KnnCollector knnCollector, AcceptDocs acceptDocs) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `LeafReader`
    Return the k nearest neighbor documents as determined by comparison of their vector values for this field, to the given vector, by the field's similarity function. The score of each document is derived from the vector similarity in a way that ensures scores are positive and that a larger score corresponds to a higher ranking.

    The search is allowed to be approximate, meaning the results are not guaranteed to be the true k closest neighbors. For large values of k (for example when k is close to the total number of documents), the search may also retrieve fewer than k documents.

    The returned `TopDocs` will contain a `ScoreDoc` for each nearest neighbor, in order of their similarity to the query vector (decreasing scores). The `TotalHits` contains the number of documents visited during the search.

    Specified by:
      `searchNearestVectors` in class `LeafReader`
    Parameters:
      `field` - the vector field to search
      `target` - the vector-valued query

    public void checkIntegrity() throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `LeafReader`
    Checks consistency of this reader.

    Note that this may be costly in terms of I/O, e.g. may involve computing a checksum value against large data files.

    Throws:
