processed_docs = batch_processor.process_documents(documents)

# Generate embeddings with hierarchical indices
for doc in processed_docs:
    embedding = embedding_generator.generate_embedding(doc.content)
    doc.embedding = embedding

# Add to search engine
for doc in processed_docs:
    search_engine.add_document(doc)
