Add support for configurable document chunking parameters to Helm chart
to match docker-compose and application capabilities.
Changes:
1. values.yaml:
- Add documentChunking section with chunkSize (512) and chunkOverlap (50)
- Include comprehensive comments explaining chunking strategies
- Positioned between vectorSync and qdrant sections
2. templates/deployment.yaml:
- Add DOCUMENT_CHUNK_SIZE and DOCUMENT_CHUNK_OVERLAP env vars
- Always set (not conditional), used by vector sync processor
- Environment variables follow same pattern as config.py defaults
3. README.md:
- Add documentChunking parameter table in Vector Search section
- Document chunking strategies (small/medium/large chunks)
- Explain overlap recommendations (10-20% of chunk size)
Validation:
- helm lint: Passes
- helm template: Environment variables correctly generated
- Custom values: Work as expected (tested with chunkSize=1024)
- Always present: Not conditional on vectorSync.enabled
This maintains feature parity between Helm and docker-compose deployments,
allowing users to tune chunking for their embedding models and use cases.
