Bulk Metadata update feature

Feature Requests
1

I want to update the metadata field ‘abcd’ for all vectors matching another metadata field value:
filename=filename1

Suppose I query for all vectors with filename1 do one by one for each vector id as follows, it takes a long time:

index.update(id=match[‘id’], set_metadata={“abcd”: new_value})

Following doesnt work:
index.update(ids=, set_metadata={“abcd”: new_value})

This also doesnt work:
index.update(ids=, set_metadata=[{“abcd”: new_value} repeated same number of times as ids])

Can either of the approaches above be added as a feature?

Would love bulk metadata update. I would be equally happy with a “batch” concept, similar to Firebase, just to not incur the networking overhead, something like:

batch = index.batch() // Batch interface supports a subset of index operations
batch.update(id=X, set_metadata…)
batch.update(id=Y, set_metadata…)
batch.commit()
