Sparse-hnsw? I don't think milvus has this index type. Officially, only two types are optional: SPARSE_INVERTED_INDEX and SPARSE_WAND |

It is a mistake of the release note.
The release note mentioned: Supported building the HNSW index for sparse vectors (#33653, #33662)
The description of the pr #33662 is: "support sparse cardinal hnsw index"
The cardinal index is derived from hnsw, and the cardinal index is only available in Zilliz cloud. So, the "sparse cardinal hnsw index" is only for Zilliz cloud.
Opensource Milvus doesn't have cardinal index.
