I am checking different opensource vector databases to create a database of images. This database will be quite dynamic at the beginning, and it should be open for changes (CRUD) and reindexing for the full time of the project, which can be some years.

Does somebody have experience with those vector DBs or other potential candidates for a image retrieval application?
