VectorStore implementation using AnalyticDB. AnalyticDB is a distributed full PostgresSQL syntax cloud-native database. - connection_string is a postgres connection string. - embedding_function any embedding function implementing

langchain.embeddings.base.Embeddings interface.

collection_name is the name of the collection to use. (default: langchain)
- NOTE: This is not the name of the table, but the name of the collection.
  The tables will be created when initializing the store (if not exists) So, make sure the user has the right permissions to create tables.
pre_delete_collection if True, will delete the collection if it exists.
(default: False) - Useful for testing.

Serverless, doesn’t require another service and can be used with major
cloud providers (S3, GCS, etc.)

to fine-tune your own LLM models.

To use, you should have the deeplake python package installed.

class langchain.vectorstores.ElasticVectorSearch(elasticsearch_url: str, index_name: str, embedding: langchain.embeddings.base.Embeddings)[source]#

Wrapper around Elasticsearch as a vector database.

To connect to an Elasticsearch instance that does not require login credentials, pass the Elasticsearch URL and index name along with the embedding object to the constructor.

Example

from langchain import ElasticVectorSearch
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings

embedding = OpenAIEmbeddings()
elastic_vector_search = ElasticVectorSearch(
    elasticsearch_url="http://localhost:9200",
    index_name="test_index",
    embedding=embedding
)

To connect to an Elasticsearch instance that requires login credentials, including Elastic Cloud, use the Elasticsearch URL format https://username:password@es_host:9243. For example, to connect to Elastic Cloud, create the Elasticsearch URL with the required authentication details and pass it to the ElasticVectorSearch constructor as the named parameter elasticsearch_url.

You can obtain your Elastic Cloud URL and login credentials by logging in to the Elastic Cloud console at https://cloud.elastic.co, selecting your deployment, and navigating to the “Deployments” page.

To obtain your Elastic Cloud password for the default “elastic” user:

Log in to the Elastic Cloud console at https://cloud.elastic.co
Go to “Security” > “Users”
Locate the “elastic” user and click “Edit”
Click “Reset password”
Follow the prompts to reset the password

The format for Elastic Cloud URLs is https://username:password@cluster_id.region_id.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243.

Example

from langchain import ElasticVectorSearch
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings

embedding = OpenAIEmbeddings()

elastic_host = "cluster_id.region_id.gcp.cloud.es.io"
elasticsearch_url = f"https://username:password@{elastic_host}:9243"
elastic_vector_search = ElasticVectorSearch(
    elasticsearch_url=elasticsearch_url,
    index_name="test_index",
    embedding=embedding
)

Parameters

elasticsearch_url (str) – The URL for the Elasticsearch instance.
index_name (str) – The name of the Elasticsearch index for the embeddings.
embedding (Embeddings) – An object that provides the ability to embed text. It should be an instance of a class that subclasses the Embeddings abstract base class, such as OpenAIEmbeddings()

List of Documents selected by maximal marginal relevance.

max_marginal_relevance_search_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, fetch_k: int = 20, lambda_mult: float = 0.5, **kwargs: Any) → List[langchain.schema.Document][source]#

Return docs selected using the maximal marginal relevance.

Maximal marginal relevance optimizes for similarity to query AND diversity among selected documents.

Parameters

embedding – Embedding to look up documents similar to.
k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
fetch_k – Number of Documents to fetch to pass to MMR algorithm.
lambda_mult – Number between 0 and 1 that determines the degree of diversity among the results with 0 corresponding to maximum diversity and 1 to minimum diversity. Defaults to 0.5.

Returns

List of Documents selected by maximal marginal relevance.

similarity_search(query: str, k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[langchain.schema.Document][source]#

Return docs most similar to query.

Parameters

query – Text to look up documents similar to.
k – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

Returns

List of Documents most similar to the query.

similarity_search_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[langchain.schema.Document][source]#: Look up similar documents by embedding vector in Weaviate.

consistency_level (str, optional) – Which consistency level to use. Defaults to “Session”.
index_params (Optional[dict], optional) – Which index_params to use. Defaults to None.
search_params (Optional[dict], optional) – Which search params to use. Defaults to None.
drop_old (Optional[bool], optional) – Whether to drop the collection with that name if it exists. Defaults to False.

Returns

Zilliz Vector Store

Return type
