Qdrant vectors always [0,0,0,0]?

I’m trying to get started with Qdrant and having issues with empty vectors.
I add my points, and there are no errors, but searches always return the same results.

So, I decided to test by walking through the Quickstart tutorial.
When I run

// create collection
PUT collections/star_charts
{
  "vectors": {
    "size": 4,
    "distance": "Dot"
  }
}

// add points
PUT collections/star_charts/points
{
  "points": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "vector": [0.05, 0.61, 0.76, 0.74],
      "payload": {
        "colony": "Mars"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "vector": [0.19, 0.81, 0.75, 0.11],
      "payload": {
        "colony": "Jupiter"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": 3,
      "vector": [0.36, 0.55, 0.47, 0.94],
      "payload": {
        "colony": "Venus"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": 4,
      "vector": [0.18, 0.01, 0.85, 0.80],
      "payload": {
        "colony": "Moon"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": 5,
      "vector": [0.24, 0.18, 0.22, 0.44],
      "payload": {
        "colony": "Pluto"
      }
    }
  ]
}

// search via vector embeddings
POST collections/star_charts/points/search
{
  "vector": [0.2, 0.1, 0.9, 0.7],
  "limit": 3,
  "with_payload": true,
  "with_vectors": true
}

I get

{
  "result": [
    {
      "id": 4,
      "version": 0,
      "score": 0,
      "payload": {
        "colony": "Moon"
      },
      "vector": [
        0,
        0,
        0,
        0
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": 1,
      "version": 0,
      "score": 0,
      "payload": {
        "colony": "Mars"
      },
      "vector": [
        0,
        0,
        0,
        0
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "version": 0,
      "score": 0,
      "payload": {
        "colony": "Jupiter"
      },
      "vector": [
        0,
        0,
        0,
        0
      ]
    }
  ],
  "status": "ok",
  "time": 0.000586909
}

So even with the simple startup example, the vectors are zeroed out.
Does anyone know why this would happen?

Thanks!

I decided to try uninstalling Qdrant, clearing the docker data, and rebuilding the install. Now it works!

I’ve seen this happen before and a clean install of Qdrant generally helps!
