class langchain_community.vectorstores.cassandra.Cassandra(embedding: Embeddings, session: Optional[Session] = None, keyspace: Optional[str] = None, table_name: str = '', ttl_seconds: Optional[int] = None, *, body_index_options: Optional[List[Tuple[str, Any]]] = None, setup_mode: SetupMode = SetupMode.SYNC, metadata_indexing: Union[Tuple[str, Iterable[str]], str] = 'all')[source]¶

Apache Cassandra(R) for vector-store workloads.

To use it, you need a recent installation of the cassio library and a Cassandra cluster / Astra DB instance supporting vector capabilities.

Visit the cassio.org website for extensive quickstarts and code examples.

Example

from langchain_community.vectorstores import Cassandra
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings

embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
session = ...             # create your Cassandra session object
keyspace = 'my_keyspace'  # the keyspace should exist already
table_name = 'my_vector_store'
vectorstore = Cassandra(embeddings, session, keyspace, table_name)

Parameters

embedding (Embeddings) – Embedding function to use.
session (Optional[Session]) – Cassandra driver session. If not provided, it is resolved from cassio.
keyspace (Optional[str]) – Cassandra keyspace. If not provided, it is resolved from cassio.
table_name (str) – Cassandra table (required).
ttl_seconds (Optional[int]) – Optional time-to-live for the added texts.
body_index_options (Optional[List[Tuple[str, Any]]]) – Optional options used to create the body index. Eg. body_index_options = [cassio.table.cql.STANDARD_ANALYZER]
setup_mode (SetupMode) – mode used to create the Cassandra table (SYNC, ASYNC or OFF).
metadata_indexing (Union[Tuple[str, Iterable[str]], str]) –
Optional specification of a metadata indexing policy, i.e. to fine-tune which of the metadata fields are indexed. It can be a string (“all” or “none”), or a 2-tuple. The following means that all fields except ‘f1’, ‘f2’ … are NOT indexed:

metadata_indexing=(“allowlist”, [“f1”, “f2”, …])

The following means all fields EXCEPT ‘g1’, ‘g2’, … are indexed:
metadata_indexing(“denylist”, [“g1”, “g2”, …])

The default is to index every metadata field. Note: if you plan to have massive unique text metadata entries, consider not indexing them for performance (and to overcome max-length limitations).

Upsert documents in a streaming fashion. Async version of streaming_upsert.

Parameters

items (AsyncIterable[Document]) – Iterable of Documents to add to the vectorstore.
batch_size (int) – The size of each batch to upsert.
kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments. kwargs should only include parameters that are common to all documents. (e.g., timeout for indexing, retry policy, etc.) kwargs should not include ids to avoid ambiguous semantics. Instead the ID should be provided as part of the Document object.

Yields

UpsertResponse – A response object that contains the list of IDs that were successfully added or updated in the vectorstore and the list of IDs that failed to be added or updated.

Return type

Returns

A response object that contains the list of IDs that were successfully added or updated in the vectorstore and the list of IDs that failed to be added or updated.

get_by_ids(ids: Sequence[str], /) → List[Document]¶

Get documents by their IDs.

The returned documents are expected to have the ID field set to the ID of the document in the vector store.

Fewer documents may be returned than requested if some IDs are not found or if there are duplicated IDs.

Users should not assume that the order of the returned documents matches the order of the input IDs. Instead, users should rely on the ID field of the returned documents.

This method should NOT raise exceptions if no documents are found for some IDs.

Parameters: ids (Sequence[str]) – List of ids to retrieve.
Returns: List of Documents.
Return type: List[Document]

streaming_upsert(items: Iterable[Document], /, batch_size: int, **kwargs: Any) → Iterator[UpsertResponse]¶

Beta

Added in 0.2.11. The API is subject to change.

Upsert documents in a streaming fashion.

Parameters

items (Iterable[Document]) – Iterable of Documents to add to the vectorstore.
batch_size (int) – The size of each batch to upsert.
kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments. kwargs should only include parameters that are common to all documents. (e.g., timeout for indexing, retry policy, etc.) kwargs should not include ids to avoid ambiguous semantics. Instead, the ID should be provided as part of the Document object.

Yields

UpsertResponse – A response object that contains the list of IDs that were successfully added or updated in the vectorstore and the list of IDs that failed to be added or updated.

Return type

Iterator[UpsertResponse]

New in version 0.2.11.

upsert(items: Sequence[Document], /, **kwargs: Any) → UpsertResponse¶

Beta

Added in 0.2.11. The API is subject to change.

Add or update documents in the vectorstore.

The upsert functionality should utilize the ID field of the Document object if it is provided. If the ID is not provided, the upsert method is free to generate an ID for the document.

When an ID is specified and the document already exists in the vectorstore, the upsert method should update the document with the new data. If the document does not exist, the upsert method should add the document to the vectorstore.

Parameters

items (Sequence[Document]) – Sequence of Documents to add to the vectorstore.
kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments.

Returns

A response object that contains the list of IDs that were successfully added or updated in the vectorstore and the list of IDs that failed to be added or updated.

Return type

UpsertResponse

New in version 0.2.11.
