Hi, The pinecone python client has a class named [HnswConfig](https://github.com/pinecone-io/pinecone-python-client/blob/main/pinecone/core/client/model/hnsw_config.py) that exposes the ef\_construction, m and ef parameters of hnsw How can I use those parameters when creating an index or making a query? Thanks ---

Hi @marty.patrick, this class is unused. If you search within the repo you shouldn’t find it utilized anywhere and will likely be removed in a coming release. The class may have been accidentally auto-generated by an upstream processes. Apologies for the confusion and delay in response on this! ---
