Cause (Documented platform behavior): RedisVL checks the server version and search/searchlight module versions before creating SVS-VAMANA fields.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- SVS-VAMANA only supports FLOAT16 and FLOAT32 datatypes.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Index creation with SVS-VAMANA fails on older Redis/Redis Stack deployments; FLOAT64/INT8 datatypes rejected for SVS.
- Context
- Product: Redis Search / RedisVL Component: SearchIndex.create with svs-vamana vector fields Operation: index.create() using algorithm="svs-vamana" (or LeanVec compression) Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: redisvl.exceptions.RedisModuleVersionError, ValueError Packages: redisvl main at pinned SHA Trigger: Using SVS-VAMANA against a server without Redis Search 2.8.10+ (search or searchlight module).
- Environment
- Unknown · not established
- Symptom signature
- Literal error text
- with Redis Search >= 2.8.10. Options: 1) Upgrade Redis to a version with Redis Search >= 2.8.10, 2) Use algorithm='hnsw' or 'flat', 3) Remove compression parameters

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [RedisVL] RedisModuleVersionError "SVS-VAMANA requires Redis >= ... with Redis Search >= 2.8.10"
Recommended action: Upgrade Redis (Search >= 2.8.10) or use algorithm "hnsw"/"flat" and drop compression options; use FLOAT32/FLOAT16 for SVS.
Option: Fall back to HNSW [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Older Redis
Steps:
1. vector field attrs: algorithm: hnsw
Expected: Index creates
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
