Could qdrant support on Android?

[KimmyYang]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There's JAVA API(https://github.com/metaloom/qdrant-java-client) run for qdrant-client, but there's no qdrant-server can be ran on Android.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provides a way to build arm64-v8a qdrant-server binary for Android.
The qdrant-server could launch localhost:port with using gRPC, the database can be located in App's local folder.

Thanks for the idea 👍

Do you have experience building Rust project for Android?

We use upload-rust-binary-action to generate executable for various platforms in https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant/blob/master/.github/workflows/release-artifacts.yml#L1

A good first step would to check if the current infrastructure could work for this use case.

Our workflows are defined here https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant/tree/master/.github/workflows

[agourlay]

I have no idea if it is possible so I will let other lurkers reply :)

@agourlay Thanks for the information.

Another request feature, could qdrant provide a way to build it as a library(ie. .so) instead of executable binary?
