    Hmm, maybe... although that wouldn't help with the aggregating multiple nodes issue, or would require a lot of app-side logic. In this example, I have 200GB of ephemeral storage av…

    Somewhat related: can anyone recommend a simple solution to share each node’s ephemeral disk/“emptyDir” across the cluster? Speed is more important than durability, this is just fo…

    One thing I'm not sure of is how much of a larger bit of text should go into an embedding? I assume it's a trade off of context and recall, with one word not meaning much semantica…
