Qdrant

This is a user-friendly interface that: 1. Creates embeddings, one for each text 2. Initializes the Qdrant database as an in-memory docstore by default

(and overridable to a remote docstore)

  1. Adds the text embeddings to the Qdrant database

This is intended to be a quick way to get started.

Example

from langchain_community.vectorstores import Qdrant
from langchain_community.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
qdrant = await Qdrant.afrom_texts(texts, embeddings, "localhost")
async aget_by_ids(ids: Sequence[str], /) → List[Document]

Async 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]

Added in 0.2.11. The API is subject to change.

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

AsyncIterator[UpsertResponse]

New in version 0.2.11.

async aupsert(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. Async version of upsert.

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.

Qdrant

This is a user-friendly interface that: 1. Creates embeddings, one for each text 2. Initializes the Qdrant database as an in-memory docstore by default

(and overridable to a remote docstore)

  1. Adds the text embeddings to the Qdrant database

This is intended to be a quick way to get started.

Example

from langchain_community.vectorstores import Qdrant
from langchain_community.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
qdrant = Qdrant.from_texts(texts, embeddings, "localhost")
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]

  • filter (Optional[MetadataFilter]) – Filter by metadata. Defaults to None.

  • search_params (Optional[common_types.SearchParams]) – Additional search params

  • offset (int) – Offset of the first result to return. May be used to paginate results. Note: large offset values may cause performance issues.

  • score_threshold (Optional[float]) – Define a minimal score threshold for the result. If defined, less similar results will not be returned. Score of the returned result might be higher or smaller than the threshold depending on the Distance function used. E.g. for cosine similarity only higher scores will be returned.

  • consistency (Optional[common_types.ReadConsistency]) –

    Read consistency of the search. Defines how many replicas should be queried before returning the result. Values: - int - number of replicas to query, values should present in all

    queried replicas

    • ’majority’ - query all replicas, but return values present in the

      majority of replicas

    • ’quorum’ - query the majority of replicas, return values present in

      all of them

    • ’all’ - query all replicas, and return values present in all replicas

  • **kwargs (Any) – Any other named arguments to pass through to QdrantClient.search()

Returns

List of documents most similar to the query text and distance for each.

Return type

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

Return docs most similar to embedding vector.

Parameters

  • embedding (List[float]) – Embedding vector to look up documents similar to.

  • k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.

  • filter (Optional[MetadataFilter]) – Filter by metadata. Defaults to None.

  • search_params (Optional[common_types.SearchParams]) – Additional search params

  • offset (int) – Offset of the first result to return. May be used to paginate results. Note: large offset values may cause performance issues.

Return type

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

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.
