Support for multiple vectors in VectorStruct about qdrant-php

[hkulekci]

Hello @gregpriday,

I'm glad to know you're like the repository. Feel free to submit a PR. Just to let you know, I'm also utilizing this library in conjunction with Laravel. However, I wasn't aware that Scout offered support for Vectors. Maybe we can harness this library to extend support to both Qdrant and Scout.

As for VectorStruct, the underlying concept is to create a vector and assign it a name - nothing more complex. Perhaps we can establish another Model as VectorsStruct. We don't need to burden a single class with too many responsibilities. However, my concern is that Qdrant doesn't natively support the upload of vectors in batches. It only allows batch point uploads. Hence, as a client, we provide support for batch points. (https://github.com/hkulekci/qdrant-php/blob/main/src/Models/PointsStruct.php) There's even a convenient static method to create directly from an array. (PointsStruct::createFromArray()).

$points = PointsStruct::createFromArray([
    [
        'id' => 1,
        'vector' => [
            'image' => [1, 2, 3]
        ],
    ],
    [
        'id' => 1,
        'vector' => [
            'image' => [3, 4, 5]
        ],
    ]
]);

I haven't been able to fully review your approach yet. But I'll be sure to do so as soon as I can. Meanwhile, let's explore what we can do collaboratively to improve the implementation.

My Scout implementation is still quite early, but I'm putting in a lot of work here - https://github.com/gregpriday/laravel-scout-qdrant - it feels magical having vector search directly in Scout, and it's very cost-effective to just spin up a Forge server, install Qdrant via Docker and have vector search support for free.

My plan is to also create a simple vectorizer Docker container that uses Hugging Face's sentence transformers, which really makes the whole thing self-contained.

I'll work on multi-vector support given your feedback and submit a PR once everything is stable - https://github.com/gregpriday/qdrant-php/tree/feature/multiple-vector-support

I need this for a current project so I'll be working on this quite a lot in the coming weeks. Looking forward to collaborating!
