Update. I did delete the index and recreated it with a namespace string. However I still cannot get the /fetch or /list endpoints to work.

The /vectors/upsert and the /query endpoints work fine so I know for certain that the vectors I have stored are there. However I really would like to read back a vector by id and retrieve a timestamp of when it was last updated.
