## Quick Start

```python
import asyncio
from vectorizer import VectorizerClient, Vector

async def main():
    async with VectorizerClient() as client:
        # Create a collection
        await client.create_collection("my_collection", dimension=512)
        
        # Generate embedding
        embedding = await client.embed_text("Hello, world!")
        
        # Create vector
        vector = Vector(
            id="doc1",
            data=embedding,
            metadata={"text": "Hello, world!"}
        )
        
        # Insert text
        await client.insert_texts("my_collection", [{
            "id": "doc1",
            "text": "Hello, world!",
            "metadata": {"source": "example"}
        }])
        
        # Search for similar vectors
        results = await client.search_vectors(
            collection="my_collection",
            query="greeting",
            limit=5
        )
        
        # Intelligent search with multi-query expansion
        from models import IntelligentSearchRequest
        intelligent_results = await client.intelligent_search(
            IntelligentSearchRequest(
                query="machine learning algorithms",
                collections=["my_collection", "research"],
                max_results=15,
                domain_expansion=True,
                technical_focus=True,
                mmr_enabled=True,
                mmr_lambda=0.7
            )
        )
        
        # Semantic search with reranking
        from models import SemanticSearchRequest
        semantic_results = await client.semantic_search(
            SemanticSearchRequest(
                query="neural networks",
                collection="my_collection",
                max_results=10,
                semantic_reranking=True,
                similarity_threshold=0.6
            )
        )
        
        # Contextual search with metadata filtering
        from models import ContextualSearchRequest
        contextual_results = await client.contextual_search(
            ContextualSearchRequest(
                query="deep learning",
                collection="my_collection",
                context_filters={"category": "AI", "year": 2023},
                max_results=10,
                context_weight=0.4
            )
        )
        
        # Multi-collection search
        from models import MultiCollectionSearchRequest
        multi_results = await client.multi_collection_search(
            MultiCollectionSearchRequest(
                query="artificial intelligence",
                collections=["my_collection", "research", "tutorials"],
                max_per_collection=5,
                max_total_results=20,
                cross_collection_reranking=True
            )
        )
        
        print(f"Found {len(results)} similar vectors")

asyncio.run(main())
```

## Configuration

### HTTP Configuration (Default)

```python
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)](https://pypi.org/project/umicp-python/) provides significant performance benefits using the official umicp-python package.

#### Using Connection String

```python
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

```python
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

```bash
pip install hive-vectorizer umicp-python
```
