How can we print the quantized vectors after creating a collection with quantized configuration

hi @Waleed_Chaudhry !!

Welcome to our community and sorry for the delay here.

This is not possible as of now. I will gather more info on this and if necessary open an issue in GH.

Thanks!

Here we have the GH Issue so we can track it down!

> \### Describe your feature request
> 
> When we create a PQ compressed collection and… let \`segments\` unconfigured (default to 0), Weaviate will figure out the best segments configuration.
> 
> However, this information is not exposed anywhere and it can be valuable if you want to benchmark the compression against different segment sizes or for debugging.
> 
> Also, Weaviate will not expose the quantized vectors. For this I am not sure what is the value of having access to the quantized vectors, so if anyone can think about the use cases :)
