+
+`annoy-java` is a Java client for [annoy](https://github.com/spotify/annoy).
+
+It was built to give us access to ANN queries from JVM languages, for indices
+built by other Python pipelines.
+
+# Limitations
+
+- annoy-java only implements loading trees built by the Python version of
+  annoy; it cannot yet create its own.
