Q35 Cosmos DB Domain 2 · 25–30% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which vector index type in Cosmos DB NoSQL is designed for high recall on very large vector collections?

  1. A flat
  2. B quantizedFlat
  3. C diskANN (correct answer)
  4. D range

Shortcut: DiskANN is a graph-based index optimised for large-scale approximate nearest-neighbour search with high recall and low latency. flat is exact but scans everything; quantizedFlat compresses for smaller sets.
