### idxStr

The `vec0` idxStr is a string composed of single "header" character and 0 or
more "blocks" of 4 characters each.

The "header" charcter denotes the type of query plan, as determined by the
`enum vec0_query_plan` values. The current possible values are:

| Name                       | Value | Description                                                            |
| -------------------------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `VEC0_QUERY_PLAN_FULLSCAN` | `'1'` | Perform a full-scan on all rows                                        |
| `VEC0_QUERY_PLAN_POINT`    | `'2'` | Perform a single-lookup point query for the provided rowid             |
| `VEC0_QUERY_PLAN_KNN`      | `'3'` | Perform a KNN-style query on the provided query vector and parameters. |

Each 4-character "block" is associated with a corresponding value in `argv[]`. For example, the 1st block at byte offset `1-4` (inclusive) is the 1st block and is associated with `argv[1]`. The 2nd block at byte offset `5-8` (inclusive) is associated with `argv[2]` and so on. Each block describes what kind of value or filter the given `argv[i]` value is.


#### `VEC0_IDXSTR_KIND_KNN_MATCH` (`'{'`)

`argv[i]` is the query vector of the KNN query.

The remaining 3 characters of the block are `_` fillers.

#### `VEC0_IDXSTR_KIND_KNN_K` (`'}'`)

`argv[i]` is the limit/k value of the KNN query.

The remaining 3 characters of the block are `_` fillers.

#### `VEC0_IDXSTR_KIND_KNN_ROWID_IN` (`'['`)

`argv[i]` is the optional `rowid in (...)` value, and must be handled with [`sqlite3_vtab_in_first()` /
`sqlite3_vtab_in_next()`](https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/vtab_in_first.html).

The remaining 3 characters of the block are `_` fillers.

#### `VEC0_IDXSTR_KIND_KNN_PARTITON_CONSTRAINT` (`']'`)

`argv[i]` is a "constraint" on a specific partition key.

The second character of the block denotes which partition key to filter on, using `A` to denote the first partition key column, `B` for the second, etc. It is encoded with `'A' + partition_idx` and can be decoded with `c - 'A'`.

The third character of the block denotes which operator is used in the constraint. It will be one of the values of `enum vec0_partition_operator`, as only a subset of operations are supported on partition keys.

The fourth character of the block is a `_` filler.


#### `VEC0_IDXSTR_KIND_POINT_ID` (`'!'`)

`argv[i]` is the value of the rowid or id to match against for the point query.

The remaining 3 characters of the block are `_` fillers.

#### `VEC0_IDXSTR_KIND_METADATA_CONSTRAINT` (`'&'`)

`argv[i]` is the value of the `WHERE` constraint for a metdata column in a KNN query.

The second character of the block denotes which metadata column the constraint belongs to, using `A` to denote the first metadata column column, `B` for the second, etc. It is encoded with `'A' + metadata_idx` and can be decoded with `c - 'A'`.

The third character of the block is the constraint operator. It will be one of `enum vec0_metadata_operator`, as only a subset of operators are supported on metadata column KNN filters.

The foruth character of the block is a `_` filler.
