Faiss engine is recommended for use cases that requires ingestion on a large scale. But, for these large scale workloads using the default `float` vectors requires a lot of memory usage as each dimension is 4 bytes. If you want to reduce this memory and storage requirements,

you can use `byte` vectors with the `faiss` engine. In a `byte` vector, each dimension is a signed 8-bit integer in the [-128, 127] range.

OpenSearch supports many varieties of quantization. In general, the level of quantization will provide a trade-off between the accuracy of the nearest neighbor search and the size of the memory footprint consumed by the vector search. The supported types include byte vectors, 16-bit scalar quantization, and product quantization (PQ).
