Qdrant Operator

Qdrant Operator is a Kubernetes operator, distributed with a Helm chart, that manages Qdrant clusters and related resources. It supports cluster configuration for the Qdrant image, persistence and replica count, and Kubernetes resources for collections and collection field indexes.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when Qdrant clusters and their collection configuration need to be managed through Kubernetes resources rather than handled only as separate manual tasks.

Who it is for

  • Kubernetes operators deploying and configuring Qdrant clusters.
  • Teams that want Qdrant collections and field-index settings represented as Kubernetes resources.

Documented uses

  • Install the operator into a Kubernetes cluster using its Helm chart.
  • Declare a Qdrant cluster with image, persistence and replica settings.
  • Define collections with replication and vector configuration.
  • Describe collection field indexes, including text-index parameters.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and licensed under MIT.

  • The documented installation uses Helm and requires a Kubernetes cluster.
  • The README marks the project as under active development.
  • The project states it is not affiliated with Qdrant.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install the operator and define a Qdrant cluster

Install the Helm chart and declare a Qdrant cluster resource with image, persistence and replica settings.

Before you start

  • A Kubernetes cluster.
  • Helm.
  • The qdrant-operator repository, including its chart at ./charts/qdrant-operator.

Steps

  1. Install the operator with helm install qdrant-operator ./charts/qdrant-operator.

  2. Apply a QdrantCluster resource using the qdrantoperator.io/v1alpha1 API version.

  3. Set the resource's image repository, pull policy and tag, persistence size and storage class, and replica count.

Expected outcome

The operator is installed and a Qdrant cluster is declared with the selected image, storage and replica configuration.

Guide limitations

  • The project README labels the operator as under active development.
  • The README documents resource declarations but does not provide a verification or troubleshooting procedure.

Source-based practical guide

Declare a collection and field index

Represent a Qdrant collection and its text field index as Kubernetes resources.

Before you start

  • The operator installed in a Kubernetes cluster.
  • A Qdrant cluster resource, such as my-cluster.

Steps

  1. Create a QdrantCollection resource that names the cluster and specifies replication factor and vector settings.

  2. Create a QdrantCollectionFieldIndex resource naming the cluster, collection, field, index type and text-index settings.

Expected outcome

The collection and its field-index configuration are described declaratively for the operator to manage.

Guide limitations

  • The README examples illustrate resource fields but do not explain additional supported values or a validation workflow.
  • The project is described as under active development.
