Connects OpenAI GPT-4o to Elasticsearch, generates vector embeddings (384 dims) from indexed JEP documents, and uses kNN + hybrid boolean scoring to build a simple RAG pipeline; demo fetches JEP 461 and asks the model what a stream gatherer is, returning the correct structure (integrator mandatory, initializer/combiner/finisher optional). Explains Lucene-backed vector storage, tuning boost vs hybrid scoring, and recommends RRF (reciprocal rank fusion) to combine classic and vector ranks to reduce hallucination and ease migration.
