Configuration

HTTP Configuration (Default)

from vectorizer import VectorizerClient

# Default HTTP configuration
client = VectorizerClient(
    base_url="http://localhost:15002",
    api_key="your-api-key",
    timeout=30
)

UMICP Configuration (High Performance)

UMICP (Universal Messaging and Inter-process Communication Protocol) provides significant performance benefits using the official umicp-python package.

Using Connection String

from vectorizer import VectorizerClient

client = VectorizerClient(
    connection_string="umicp://localhost:15003",
    api_key="your-api-key"
)

print(f"Using protocol: {client.get_protocol()}")  # Output: umicp

Using Explicit Configuration

from vectorizer import VectorizerClient

client = VectorizerClient(
    protocol="umicp",
    api_key="your-api-key",
    umicp={
        "host": "localhost",
        "port": 15003
    },
    timeout=60
)

When to Use UMICP

Use UMICP when:

• Large Payloads: Inserting or searching large batches of vectors
• High Throughput: Need maximum performance for production workloads
• Low Latency: Need minimal protocol overhead

Use HTTP when:

• Development: Quick testing and debugging
• Firewall Restrictions: Only HTTP/HTTPS allowed
• Simple Deployments: No need for custom protocol setup

Protocol Comparison

Feature	HTTP/HTTPS	UMICP
Transport	aiohttp (standard HTTP)	umicp-python package
Performance	Standard	Optimized for large payloads
Latency	Standard	Lower overhead
Firewall	Widely supported	May require configuration
Installation	Default	Requires umicp-python

Installing with UMICP Support

pip install vectorizer-sdk umicp-python
