📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The local collection now validates and prepares all named vector updates before changing deletion markers, IDF state, or vector storage. Tests cover empty dense vectors and multivectors across local and remote upsert and update paths. Regression tests verify that rejected updates do not expose absent vectors or partially apply valid vectors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f5dda

Local vector updates now reject empty vectors before modifying point state, with regression coverage for dense and multivector update behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

In `@qdrant_client/local/local_collection.py`:
- Line 2757: Move the _validate_dense_or_multivector validation in the update
flow before any deleted_per_vector[vector_name][idx] visibility changes, so
rejected empty-vector updates leave absent-vector placeholders marked deleted.
Add a regression test covering an absent vector followed by an empty-vector
update and verify the placeholder remains hidden from retrieval and search.
