Researchers have developed a new admission control mechanism for vector databases to mitigate the impact of retrieval hubs, where a single document dominates search results. This system maintains a set of sentinel queries to ensure documents are only admitted if their similarity to these sentinels remains below a defined threshold. The study reveals that while this approach incurs a maintenance cost for the auxiliary index, it effectively controls document exposure even under workload drift, as demonstrated on real-world datasets and implemented in PostgreSQL/pgvector.
