Apache Solr 10: What's Coming up for Vector Search
With Apache Solr 10 out, there are plenty of goodies coming up for vector-search aficionados. From scalar and binary quantisation to speed up your search and reduce the memory footprint, to early termination and hybrid approaches to navigate the HNSW graph. Join us if you want to learn!

How do you actually build hybrid search in Apache Solr? This talk walks through an end-to-end implementation, from configuration to executing hybrid queries using the new Combined Query feature, and fusing results with RRF or custom ranking strategies.
