Error Reconstructing FAISS Index

See original GitHub issue

Hiya! Thanks for making this library out in the open!

I’ve been trying to get your training wrapper working, but when it tries to generate the index, I get the following error:

RuntimeError: Error in virtual void faiss::Index::reconstruct(faiss::Index::idx_t, float*) const at /project/faiss/faiss/Index.cpp:48: reconstruct not implemented for this type of index

To reproduce, you can use this google colab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1BcOtBpWBGmXX_tOC7WKcHOa9SukWEKpf?usp=sharing

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

anyway here is the official recommendation https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/wiki/Comparing-GPU-vs-CPU

but in practice I’ve never seen a case where it’s beneficial to use GPU for faiss

faiss cpu is very fast
