Alibek Zhakubayev a238933d17 Finish E501 line-length lint sweep across faiss (183 violations, 52 files) (#5444)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/pull/5444

We fix every remaining flake8 E501 (line > 80 chars) violation in
fbcode/faiss/ (excluding gpu/), closing out a lint-cleanup initiative that a
June 29, 2026 diff stack (9a05463576 -> d304e29b9a -> 7d140d86ca) explicitly
promised but left 41% incomplete. The middle diff in that stack aligned
.flake8's max-line-length to black's 80-char width and stated the remaining
277 violations after the config change were "genuine lint (E501 long
strings/URLs, F401/F841/B011, etc.), addressed in later commits in this
stack." The follow-up commit fixed only the F401/F403/F841/B011 categories
(45 issues) and never touched E501, leaving 192 violations across 53 files
live in trunk. A direct re-scan today found 201 violations across 54 files
(two files gained lines since the original count).

We fixed 183 violations across 52 files. Two of the originally-flagged
files, benchs/bench_rabitq.py and
demos/index_pq_flat_separate_codes_from_codebook.py, already carry a
file-level `# flake8: noqa` directive (the second is a Bento/Grimaldi
notebook export that also fails standalone py_compile due to embedded shell
magic) -- flake8 ignores both files entirely, so no changes were needed
there and they are excluded from this diff.

Fix approach, by category:
- The large majority of violations are prose: docstrings and comments
  rewrapped at word boundaries, preserving each file's existing indentation
  and docstring conventions. No wording was changed.
- Code lines (function calls, f-strings, assert messages, long argument
  lists) were reflowed in black-compatible style: parenthesization, comma
  breaks, or implicit adjacent string-literal concatenation. Every touched
  file is confirmed unchanged by `black --line-length 80 --diff` after the
  edit.
- A small number of genuinely unwrappable long URLs (no reasonable break
  point) were suppressed with `# noqa: E501` rather than force-wrapped,
  matching the precedent set by the original black-format diff stack.
- demos/offline_ivf/offline_ivf.py: a repeated, non-trivial ratio expression
  used in both an assert condition and its (lazily-evaluated) failure
  message was hoisted into a single local variable, eliminating the
  duplicate computation. The expression is pure and deterministic (built
  from already-computed arrays), so this is behaviorally identical to the
  original -- not a functional change.
- `arc lint -a` additionally auto-fixed a real bug it detected while
  processing these files: `raise NotImplemented` -> `raise
  NotImplementedError` in contrib/evaluation.py (the sentinel object
  NotImplemented is not an exception type; raising it produces a TypeError
  masking the intended NotImplementedError). It also added a missing
  trailing newline in benchs/fb/bench_index_binary_from_float.py and, in
  the same file, rewrote the `#!/usr/bin/env python2` shebang to
  `#!/usr/bin/env fbpython` -- that rewrite was reverted by hand, since the
  file still does `import cPickle` (a Python 2-only module), so the
  auto-fix would have made the shebang describe an interpreter the script
  cannot actually run under. Fixing the underlying py2-to-py3 migration is
  out of scope for this line-length-only sweep.
- Rebasing onto master (this diff's base commit had drifted) surfaced two
  concurrent upstream fixes to `check_ref_knn_with_draws(...)` calls in
  tests/test_ivf_flat_panorama.py and tests/test_refine_panorama.py (an
  unrelated in-flight correctness fix passing `D_panorama`/`atol` instead
  of a stale `D_regular` arg with no `atol`). The rebase took upstream's
  corrected arguments and re-applied only this diff's line-wrap on top.

We verified zero functional change with an AST-level check: every string
and f-string literal in every touched file was extracted before and after
the edit and compared with whitespace normalized, confirming no wording,
value, or expression was altered beyond the intended `# noqa: E501`
suffixes and the one documented ratio-hoisting simplification above.

Offline IVF

This folder contains the code for the offline ivf algorithm powered by faiss big batch search.

Create a conda env:

conda create --name oivf python=3.10

conda activate oivf

conda install -c pytorch/label/nightly -c nvidia faiss-gpu=1.7.4

conda install tqdm

conda install pyyaml

conda install -c conda-forge submitit

Run book

  1. Optionally shard your dataset (see create_sharded_dataset.py) and create the corresponding yaml file config_ssnpp.yaml. You can use generate_config.py by specifying the root directory of your dataset and the files with the data shards

python generate_config

  1. Run the train index command

python run.py --command train_index --config config_ssnpp.yaml --xb ssnpp_1B

  1. Run the index-shard command so it produces sharded indexes, required for the search step

python run.py --command index_shard --config config_ssnpp.yaml --xb ssnpp_1B

  1. Send jobs to the cluster to run search

python run.py --command search --config config_ssnpp.yaml --xb ssnpp_1B --cluster_run --partition <PARTITION-NAME>

Remarks about the search command: it is assumed that the database vectors are the query vectors when performing the search step. a. If the query vectors are different than the database vectors, it should be passed in the xq argument b. A new dataset needs to be prepared (step 1) before passing it to the query vectors argument –xq

python run.py --command search --config config_ssnpp.yaml --xb ssnpp_1B --xq <QUERIES_DATASET_NAME>

  1. We can always run the consistency-check for sanity checks!

python run.py --command consistency_check --config config_ssnpp.yaml --xb ssnpp_1B
