Demystify Benchmark Result Divergence: Milvus vs. Qdrant

The blog post discusses the disparities between benchmark results of Qdrant's vector database technology and VectorDB Bench, which uses Milvus. It highlights three reasons for these differences: outdated Milvus version used in testing, improper use of Milvus by only using Growing Segments, and benchmark-driven optimizations for Qdrant that may compromise operational flexibility in real-world scenarios. The post emphasizes the importance of trustworthy and comprehensive benchmarking for vector databases and suggests developers should access truthful and precise benchmarks or conduct their own tests against their data to make informed decisions when choosing a vector database.
