Why do we not have api to read all the nodes in the graph?

Hi @Neoanarika ,,

It would be nice to have the function to retrieve all the nodes that are part of the existing index. Was just wondering any reason we did not expose this function?

Thanks in Advance

Hi @vamshin the primary reason is that we have various methods not only graph-baed retrieval. But, I think it can be a good feature to have.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Also if we traverse the graph, do we get back all the points that are inserted in the index or is it lossy(do we ignore storing some points). Sorry for the naive question. Just started digging into this :)

@vamshin it's not lossy in the sense that all points are there.
