Qdrant Driver Capability Matrix

Feature surface below is derived from qail.rs/qdrant source and docs. It reflects the current Rust API shape and transport model, with beta maturity status preserved explicitly.

Capability	Current Data	Notes
Primary focus	Qdrant vector search driver	qail-qdrant targets vector similarity workflows over Qdrant using Rust-native APIs.
Current crate release	1.3.3	Matches the current stable QAIL workspace release line with Qdrant JSON integer drift rejection and little-endian vector encoding.
Maturity state	Beta	Marked as beta in crate docs; API can still change.
Transport	gRPC over HTTP/2	Direct gRPC transport path with reusable buffers.
TLS model	rustls (no system OpenSSL required)	Supports TLS connection mode in driver and pool config.
Search APIs	search, search_named, search_filtered, search_batch, search_ast	Covers plain, named-vector, filtered, concurrent batch, and AST-driven search paths.
Data ops	upsert, get_points, scroll, delete, payload update	Point lifecycle and payload update operations are supported in the Rust driver.
Collection/index ops	create/delete collection, create payload field index	Includes collection creation and payload index creation for faster filtering.
Pooling	QdrantPool + PoolConfig	Configurable max connections, TLS flag, and qail.toml-derived pool config.

Core Runtime Paths

Search + Filter Paths

Supports plain vector search, named-vector search, filtered search with AST conditions, and AST-driven search extraction via search_ast.

Point + Payload Lifecycle

Includes upsert, get, scroll pagination, delete by IDs, and payload updates for existing points.

Collection + Index Controls

Collection create/delete plus payload field index creation for filtered-search acceleration paths.

Quick Start (Rust)

1. Add Dependencies

Add the vector driver and core AST crate.

cargo add qail-qdrant qail-core

2. Connect and Search

Minimal connection and vector search flow.

use qail_qdrant::QdrantDriver;

let mut driver = QdrantDriver::connect("localhost", 6334).await?;
let hits = driver.search("products", &embedding, 10, None).await?;

3. Use AST Filtered Search

Filter conditions can be pushed through QAIL AST into Qdrant filter clauses.

use qail_core::Qail;

let cmd = Qail::search("products")
    .vector(embedding)
    .limit(10)
    .filter("tenant_id", qail_core::Operator::Eq, "t-001");

let hits = driver.search_ast(&cmd).await?;

Operational Tips

qail-qdrant is currently beta; pin versions and validate compatibility in CI before rollout.
Use filtered search APIs and the AST-driven search path when tenant and business filters must stay explicit.
Enable rustls TLS mode and tune QdrantPool/PoolConfig for bounded, production-safe connection reuse.
Keep performance reads at /benchmarks/qdrant-january-2026 and use this page for runtime capability scope.
