Implementing a Universal Delete Function in Multiple Files

[tkesici]

Hi,

In my project, I need a delete function in hnswlib.ts. Since there is no built-in method, I had to delete it from both InMemoryDocstore and VectorStore using the docs.delete and markDelete methods, respectively.

Here's the code I wrote to perform these operations with a single method:

    documents.forEach((docsToDelete) => {
      const index = Array.from(this.docstore._docs).find(doc => (docsToDelete === doc[1]))?.[0];
      if (!index){
        return;
      }
      this.docstore._docs.delete(index);
      this.index.markDelete(Number(index));
    });
  }

The problem I'm facing is that I need to implement these operations in over 10 files. Since this is a significant update, I am undecided about whether or not to proceed with it. I would like to open a discussion here.

I welcome your reviews.
