Weaviate vector type

Is it possible to change the datatype of an vector? When I for instance trying to save following object to /batch/objects

{
    "fields": [
        "ALL"
    ],
    "objects": [
        {
            "id": "1112a0911b90de8277fc3fb45c97d3c3",
            "vector": [
              0.11111111111122222
            ],
            "class": "Test"
        }
    ]
}

Only 0.11111111 is being saved as the vector and I suppose it is because the datatype is float32

I think you've set the vector as a normal data type.

As you can see in the example below (from this demo dataset), you can see that what you call objects actually has an objects properties. It seems that you've set your vector as an array in properties.

This Weaviate Core Knowledge section in the documentation might also be helpful.

Perry took a direct snap from center and sprinted 52 yards for a TD on his only carry. Robinson, who rushed for 1,899 yards and 18 touchdowns for Illinois State this season, finished with 80 yards rushing on seven attempts. Stevens also had an 18-yard completion to Rhode Island's Aaron Parker to set up LeMay's second touchdown.",
