Recommended action: Create IVFFlat after loading representative data (or use HNSW, which has no training step); raise maintenance_work_mem or lower lists for the memory error; tune ivfflat.probes / iterative scans for recall. Option: Rebuild IVFFlat after data load or switch to HNSW [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Indexes created in schema migrations Steps: 1. DROP INDEX idx; 2. load data 3. CREATE INDEX ... USING ivfflat ... WITH (lists = rows/1000) 4. or CREATE INDEX ... USING hnsw ... Expected: Normal recall Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
