Vector API: awkward to get hold of matching chunks

[jazzm0]

Describe the Problem

When using

public VectorSearchResults search(
      @Nonnull final String aiResourceGroup, @Nonnull final TextSearchRequest textSearchRequest)
      throws OpenApiRequestException

the VectorSearchResults are too deeply nested. To access the actual matching chunks someone has to do the following:

        var context = new StringBuilder();

        searchResult.getResults().forEach(r -> {
            r.getResults().forEach(
                    s -> s.getDocuments().forEach(
                            d -> d.getChunks().forEach(
                                    c -> {
                                        context.append(c.getContent());
                                    })));
        });

This makes the usage unnecessarily complex.

Propose a Solution

I would expect a Collection<VectorChunk> objects from the searchResult object, so they can be used directly in inference afterwards.

Thanks for raising this feature request.

Until now, the grounding client is mainly generated by using the service specification.
Let's keep this issue open and see whether we are able to work on it next year.

Hello, I've created a patch adding the required method. How can I create a PR. I'm also member of SAP, who can I contact to officially contribute to this project? Thanks and kind Regards.
