Summary

### Vectara InstantIndex` Vectara has introduced "InstantIndex", a new feature that enables near real-time processing of large amounts of data, reducing the time between when a document is requested and when it is available to serve queries. This feature solves the challenge of incremental indexing by short-circuiting the traditional event streaming system and journaling process, allowing documents to be instantly indexed in-memory and sent to search nodes for immediate application. InstantIndex reduces latency and supports use cases such as real-time call center transcripts, product launches, employee terminations, and filtering by index time metadata. It is available to customers without configuration and can be used alongside batch and incremental indexing modes.
