      Summary

      Doctrine ODM supports Atlas Search indexes, but vector indexes cannot be used.

      Add Vector type to search indexes and VectorSearch stage.

      Motivation

      Who is the affected end user?

      Developers using Symfony to build AI applications with vectors.

      How does this affect the end user?

      Make it easy to use mongodb vector search and stages in the application

      How likely is it that this problem or use case will occur?

      Main path? Edge case?

      If the problem does occur, what are the consequences and how severe are they?

      Currently, developers have to implement their own vector search layer, or use the raw MongoDB client instead of Doctrine metadata.

      Is this issue urgent?

      No

      Is this ticket required by a downstream team?

      No

      Is this ticket only for tests?

      No
