// Package indexer defines the Indexer component interface for storing documents
// and their vector representations in a backend store.
//
// # Overview
//
// An Indexer is the write path of a RAG pipeline. It takes [schema.Document]
// values, optionally generates vector embeddings, and persists them in a
// backend (vector DB, search engine, etc.) for later retrieval.
//
// Concrete implementations (VikingDB, Milvus, Elasticsearch, …) live in
// eino-ext:
//
// github.com/cloudwego/eino-ext/components/indexer/
//
// # Vector Dimension Consistency
//
// When using the [Options.Embedding] option, the embedding model must be
// identical to the one used by the paired [retriever.Retriever]. Mismatched
// models produce vectors in different spaces — queries will not match stored
// documents.
//
// See https://www.cloudwego.io/docs/eino/core_modules/components/indexer_guide/
