📄 Description

Description

This pull request optimizes the process of inserting documents into knowledge bases by eliminating redundant embedding operations. Previously, embedding was performed twice: once for the file and again for the collection. Now, the vectors from the file embedding are reused, reducing the overall processing time. This optimization has been implemented for Qdrant at this stage.

Changelog Entry

Changed

Optimized document insertion process for knowledge bases
Reduced embedding operations from two to one by reusing file vectors
Implemented optimization for Qdrant

Performance

Improved speed of document insertion in knowledge bases

Additional Information

This change significantly enhances the efficiency of document insertion, particularly for large files or when dealing with a high volume of documents. The optimization is currently limited to Qdrant, but may be extended to other vector databases in future updates.
