Introduces a builder pattern for configuring QdrantVectorStore instances to
provide a more flexible and type-safe way to create and configure vector stores.
This change:
- Makes configuration more intuitive through fluent builder methods
- Improves validation by enforcing required parameters at compile time
- Deprecates old constructors in favor of the builder pattern
- Adds comprehensive builder tests to ensure reliability
- Updates reference documentation with builder usage examples
- Maintains backward compatibility while providing a clear migration path
The builder pattern simplifies QdrantVectorStore configuration by providing
clear method names, proper validation, and better IDE support through method
chaining. This makes the API more user-friendly and helps prevent configuration
errors at compile time rather than runtime.
