 ## Use Direct IO when the vector data does not fit in RAM

 ```{applies_to}

 If your indices are of type `bbq_hnsw` and your nodes don't have enough off-heap RAM to store all vector data in memory, you may see very high query latencies. Vector data includes the HNSW graph, quantized vectors, and raw float32 vectors.
 
-In these scenarios, direct IO can significantly reduce query latency. Enable it by setting the JVM option `vector.rescoring.directio=true` on all vector search nodes in your cluster.

 Only use this option if you're experiencing very high query latencies on indices of type `bbq_hnsw`. Otherwise, enabling direct IO may increase your query latencies.
