Is it good to store user-created data in another collection than system-data?

[Loahrs]

Hey everyone!

I am currently planning on creating a RAG application using Langchain4J and I would like to get some input. The system will have two kinds of data:

1. Data provided by the system. This can be a a manual or other documents. It is data that will be cleaned up, split into chunks and ingested into qdrant. It might be a good idea to prepare all this data during development (or through some pipeline).

2. Data created by the user of the application. Users are able to create articles (e.g FAQ-texts) which we want to also add into our RAG data. If a user deletes such an article, we can delete it from qdrant, modify it etc.

Now when there is an update to the software, there might also be a new version of the manual and related data, which we will have to update then. (Maybe by delivering a new qdrant-snapshot file to replace the old collection or having some scripts to replace the data in the collection).

I thought about creating two collections: one for the users data and one for the systems data. The FAQ says that having multiple collections might be considered an antipattern: https://qdrant.tech/documentation/faq/qdrant-fundamentals/#how-many-collections-can-i-create

So I would like to get some input if that is a terrible idea or a valid plan for my use case. Are there problems with delivering qdrant-snapshots for data updates?
