Build semantic search with Cloudflare Vectorize V2 (Sept 2024 GA). Covers V2 breaking changes: async mutations,
5M vectors/index (was 200K), 31ms latency (was 549ms), returnMetadata enum, and V1 deprecation (Dec 2024).
Use when: migrating V1→V2, handling async mutations with mutationId, creating metadata indexes before insert,
or troubleshooting "returnMetadata must be 'all'", V2 timing issues, metadata index errors, dimension mismatches.

## ⚠️ Vectorize V2 Breaking Changes (September 2024)
**IMPORTANT**: Vectorize V2 became GA in September 2024 with significant breaking changes.
### What Changed in V2
**Performance Improvements**:
- **Index capacity**: 200,000 → **5 million vectors** per index
- **Query latency**: 549ms → **31ms** median (18× faster)
- **TopK limit**: 20 → **100** results per query
- **Scale limits**: 100 → **50,000 indexes** per account
- **Namespace limits**: 100 → **50,000 namespaces** per index
**Breaking API Changes**:
1. **Async Mutations** - All mutations now asynchronous:
```typescript
// V2: Returns mutationId
const result = await env.VECTORIZE_INDEX.insert(vectors);
console.log(result.mutationId); // "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
// Vector inserts/deletes may take a few seconds to be reflected
```
2. **returnMetadata Parameter** - Boolean → String enum:
```typescript
// ❌ V1 (deprecated)
{ returnMetadata: true }
// ✅ V2 (required)
{ returnMetadata: 'all' | 'indexed' | 'none' }
```
3. **Metadata Indexes Required Before Insert**:
- V2 requires metadata indexes created BEFORE vectors inserted
- Vectors added before metadata index won't be indexed
- Must re-upsert vectors after creating metadata index
**V1 Deprecation Timeline**:
- **December 2024**: Can no longer create V1 indexes
- **Existing V1 indexes**: Continue to work (other operations unaffected)
- **Migration**: Use `wrangler vectorize --deprecated-v1` flag for V1 operations
**Wrangler Version Required**:
- **Minimum**: wrangler@3.71.0 for V2 commands
- **Recommended**: wrangler@4.43.0+ (latest)
### Check Mutation Status
```typescript
// Get index info to check last mutation processed
const info = await env.VECTORIZE_INDEX.describe();
console.log(info.mutationId); // Last mutation ID
console.log(info.processedUpToMutation); // Last processed timestamp
```
---
## Critical Setup Rules
### ⚠️ MUST DO BEFORE INSERTING VECTORS
```bash
# 1. Create the index with FIXED dimensions and metric
npx wrangler vectorize create my-index \
--dimensions=768 \
--metric=cosine
# 2. Create metadata indexes IMMEDIATELY (before inserting vectors!)
npx wrangler vectorize create-metadata-index my-index \
--property-name=category \
--type=string
npx wrangler vectorize create-metadata-index my-index \
--property-name=timestamp \
--type=number
```
**Why**: Metadata indexes MUST exist before vectors are inserted. Vectors added before a metadata index was created won't be filterable on that property.
### Index Configuration (Cannot Be Changed Later)
```bash
# Dimensions MUST match your embedding model output:
# - Workers AI @cf/baai/bge-base-en-v1.5: 768 dimensions
# - OpenAI text-embedding-3-small: 1536 dimensions
# - OpenAI text-embedding-3-large: 3072 dimensions
# Metrics determine similarity calculation:
# - cosine: Best for normalized embeddings (most common)
# - euclidean: Absolute distance between vectors
# - dot-product: For non-normalized vectors
```
## Wrangler Configuration
**wrangler.jsonc**:
```jsonc
{
"name": "my-vectorize-worker",
"main": "src/index.ts",
"compatibility_date": "2025-10-21",
"vectorize": [
{
"binding": "VECTORIZE_INDEX",
"index_name": "my-index"
}
],
"ai": {
"binding": "AI"
}
}
```
## TypeScript Types
```typescript
export interface Env {
VECTORIZE_INDEX: VectorizeIndex;
AI: Ai;
}
interface VectorizeVector {
id: string;
values: number[] | Float32Array | Float64Array;
namespace?: string;
metadata?: Record<string, string | number | boolean | string[]>;
}
interface VectorizeMatches {
matches: Array<{
id: string;
score: number;
values?: number[];
metadata?: Record<string, any>;
namespace?: string;
}>;
count: number;
}
```
## Metadata Filter Operators (V2)
Vectorize V2 supports advanced metadata filtering with range queries:
```typescript
// Equality (implicit $eq)
{ category: "docs" }
// Not equals
{ status: { $ne: "archived" } }
// In/Not in arrays
{ category: { $in: ["docs", "tutorials"] } }
{ category: { $nin: ["deprecated", "draft"] } }
// Range queries (numbers) - NEW in V2
{ timestamp: { $gte: 1704067200, $lt: 1735689600 } }
// Range queries (strings) - prefix searching
{ url: { $gte: "/docs/workers", $lt: "/docs/workersz" } }
// Nested metadata with dot notation
{ "author.id": "user123" }
// Multiple conditions (implicit AND)
{ category: "docs", language: "en", "metadata.published": true }
```
## Metadata Best Practices
### 1. Cardinality Considerations
**Low Cardinality (Good for $eq filters)**:
```typescript
// Few unique values - efficient filtering
metadata: {
category: "docs", // ~10 categories
language: "en", // ~5 languages
published: true // 2 values (boolean)
}
```
**High Cardinality (Avoid in range queries)**:
```typescript
// Many unique values - avoid large range scans
metadata: {
user_id: "uuid-v4...", // Millions of unique values
timestamp_ms: 1704067200123 // Use seconds instead
}
```
### 2. Metadata Limits
- **Max 10 metadata indexes** per Vectorize index
- **Max 10 KiB metadata** per vector
- **String indexes**: First 64 bytes (UTF-8)
- **Number indexes**: Float64 precision
- **Filter size**: Max 2048 bytes (compact JSON)
### 3. Key Restrictions
```typescript
// ❌ INVALID metadata keys
metadata: {
"": "value", // Empty key
"user.name": "John", // Contains dot (reserved for nesting)
"$admin": true, // Starts with $
"key\"with\"quotes": 1 // Contains quotes
}
// ✅ VALID metadata keys
metadata: {
"user_name": "John",
"isAdmin": true,
"nested": { "allowed": true } // Access as "nested.allowed" in filters
}
```
## Common Errors & Solutions
### Error 1: Metadata Index Created After Vectors Inserted
```
Problem: Filtering doesn't work on existing vectors
Solution: Delete and re-insert vectors OR create metadata indexes BEFORE inserting
```
### Error 2: Dimension Mismatch
```
Problem: "Vector dimensions do not match index configuration"
Solution: Ensure embedding model output matches index dimensions:
- Workers AI bge-base: 768
- OpenAI small: 1536
- OpenAI large: 3072
```
### Error 3: Invalid Metadata Keys
```
Problem: "Invalid metadata key"
Solution: Keys cannot:
- Be empty
- Contain . (dot)
- Contain " (quote)
- Start with $ (dollar sign)
```
### Error 4: Filter Too Large
```
Problem: "Filter exceeds 2048 bytes"
Solution: Simplify filter or split into multiple queries
```
### Error 5: Range Query on High Cardinality
```
Problem: Slow queries or reduced accuracy
Solution: Use lower cardinality fields for range queries, or use seconds instead of milliseconds for timestamps
```
### Error 6: Insert vs Upsert Confusion
```
Problem: Updates not reflecting in index
Solution: Use upsert() to overwrite existing vectors, not insert()
```
### Error 7: Missing Bindings
```
Problem: "VECTORIZE_INDEX is not defined"
Solution: Add [[vectorize]] binding to wrangler.jsonc
```
### Error 8: Namespace vs Metadata Confusion
```
Problem: Unclear when to use namespace vs metadata filtering
Solution:
- Namespace: Partition key, applied BEFORE metadata filters
- Metadata: Flexible key-value filtering within namespace
```
### Error 9: V2 Async Mutation Timing (NEW in V2)
```
Problem: Inserted vectors not immediately queryable
Solution: V2 mutations are asynchronous - vectors may take a few seconds to be reflected
- Use mutationId to track mutation status
- Check env.VECTORIZE_INDEX.describe() for processedUpToMutation timestamp
```
### Error 10: V1 returnMetadata Boolean (BREAKING in V2)
```
Problem: "returnMetadata must be 'all', 'indexed', or 'none'"
Solution: V2 changed returnMetadata from boolean to string enum:
- ❌ V1: { returnMetadata: true }
- ✅ V2: { returnMetadata: 'all' }
```

## V2 Migration Checklist
**If migrating from V1 to V2**:
1. ✅ Update wrangler to 3.71.0+ (`npm install -g wrangler@latest`)
2. ✅ Create new V2 index (can't upgrade V1 → V2)
3. ✅ Create metadata indexes BEFORE inserting vectors
4. ✅ Update `returnMetadata` boolean → string enum ('all', 'indexed', 'none')
5. ✅ Handle async mutations (expect `mutationId` in responses)
6. ✅ Test with V2 limits (topK up to 100, 5M vectors per index)
7. ✅ Update error handling for async behavior
**V1 Deprecation**:
- After December 2024: Cannot create new V1 indexes
- Existing V1 indexes: Continue to work
- Use `wrangler vectorize --deprecated-v1` for V1 operations
