On Alliance setups (resolveAllianceConfig / CLI), call suggest_query_params for that namespace first (within the cache TTL), or use guided_query, which performs suggestion internally. On core setupCoreServer / resolveConfig, the gate is off by default; if you enabled it (PINECONE_DISABLE_SUGGEST_FLOW=false), you need suggest_query_params or must switch to Alliance tools.
No. Only query, count, and query_documents are gated.
They are unified into query with preset: fast, detailed, or full. See MIGRATION.md.
Core: gate is already off via resolveConfig default. Alliance: set PINECONE_DISABLE_SUGGEST_FLOW=true or pass --disable-suggest-flow. Prefer fixing the client flow in production when using Alliance.
There is a npm run benchmark script (benchmarks/latency.ts); published README claims remain qualitative until benchmark results are checked in.
Use document_id on rows. paper_number is a deprecated alias scheduled for removal in the next major release.
Use Node ≥ 20.12 — Vitest 4’s bundler and @vitest/coverage-v8 require newer node:util / inspector APIs.
