[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-9855) Reconsider codec name VectorFormat
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9855?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17305793#comment-17305793 ]
Tomoko Uchida commented on LUCENE-9855:
---------------------------------------
Personally I would prefer VectorValuesFormat, then DenseVectorsFormat takes the second place for me.
Once we successfully reach an agreement, I will rename the codec and all related classes/methods (e.g. VectorReader/Writer).
