+## Bulk ingestion with base64-encoded vectors [bulk_vectors]
+
+When ingesting dense vectors, you can encode float arrays as base64 strings for more efficient transfer. The client's `serializer` provides `encodeFloat32Vector` and `decodeFloat32Vector` methods that encode IEEE-754 float32 values in big-endian byte order.
+
+*Note: Support for ingesting base64-encoded float arrays is available starting in Elasticsearch 9.3.*
