FGIM: a Fast Graph-based Indexes Merging Framework for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

Summary: FGIM studies a new problem for graph-based ANNS: merging multiple existing indexes into one, motivated by cluster consolidation and read-write contention in vector DBs. It uses cross-querying PGs→kNNG, refinement, and kNNG→PG conversion to preserve connectivity/navigability, speeding merges up to 3.5x over HNSW incremental build.
