Get documents from the document store.

Arguments:

index: Name of the index to get the documents from. If None, the DocumentStore's default index (self.index) will be used.
filters: Optional filters to narrow down the search space to documents whose metadata fulfill certain conditions. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation.

Example:
```
filters = {
    "$and": {
        "type": {"$eq": "article"},
        "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},

@abstractmethod
def get_all_documents_generator(index: Optional[str] = None, filters: Optional[Dict[str, Union[Dict, List, str, int, float, bool]]] = None, return_embedding: Optional[bool] = None, batch_size: int = 10_000, headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None) -> Generator[Document, None, None]

Get documents from the document store. Under-the-hood, documents are fetched in batches from the

document store and yielded as individual documents. This method can be used to iteratively process a large number of documents without having to load all documents in memory.

Arguments:

index: Name of the index to get the documents from. If None, the DocumentStore's default index (self.index) will be used.
filters: Optional filters to narrow down the search space to documents whose metadata fulfill certain conditions. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation.

        }
    }
}

return_embedding: Whether to return the document embeddings.
batch_size: When working with large number of documents, batching can help reduce memory footprint.

BaseDocumentStore.get_all_labels_aggregated

def get_all_labels_aggregated(index: Optional[str] = None, filters: Optional[Dict[str, Union[Dict, List, str, int, float, bool]]] = None, open_domain: bool = True, drop_negative_labels: bool = False, drop_no_answers: bool = False, aggregate_by_meta: Optional[Union[str, list]] = None, headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None) -> List[MultiLabel]

Return all labels in the DocumentStore, aggregated into MultiLabel objects.

This aggregation step helps, for example, if you collected multiple possible answers for one question and you want now all answers bundled together in one place for evaluation. How they are aggregated is defined by the open_domain and aggregate_by_meta parameters. If the questions are being asked to a single document (i.e. SQuAD style), you should set open_domain=False to aggregate by question and document. If the questions are being asked to your full collection of documents, you should set open_domain=True to aggregate just by question. If the questions are being asked to a subslice of your document set (e.g. product review use cases), you should set open_domain=True and populate aggregate_by_meta with the names of Label meta fields to aggregate by question and your custom meta fields. For example, in a product review use case, you might set aggregate_by_meta=["product_id"] so that Labels with the same question but different answers from different documents are aggregated into the one MultiLabel object, provided that they have the same product_id (to be found in Label.meta["product_id"])

Arguments:

index: Name of the index to get the labels from. If None, the DocumentStore's default index (self.index) will be used.
filters: Optional filters to narrow down the search space to documents whose metadata fulfill certain conditions. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation.

Example:
```
filters = {
    "$and": {
        "type": {"$eq": "article"},
        "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},
        "rating": {"$gte": 3},
        "$or": {
            "genre": {"$in": ["economy", "politics"]},
            "publisher": {"$eq": "nytimes"}
        }
    }
}
```
open_domain: When True, labels are aggregated purely based on the question text alone. When False, labels are aggregated in a closed domain fashion based on the question text and also the id of the document that the label is tied to. In this setting, this function might return multiple MultiLabel objects with the same question string.
headers: Custom HTTP headers to pass to document store client if supported (e.g. {'Authorization': 'Basic YWRtaW46cm9vdA=='} for basic authentication)
aggregate_by_meta: The names of the Label meta fields by which to aggregate. For example: ["product_id"] TODO drop params

BaseDocumentStore.normalize_embedding

def normalize_embedding(emb: np.ndarray) -> None

Performs L2 normalization of embeddings vector inplace. Input can be a single vector (1D array) or a matrix (2D array).

BaseDocumentStore.add_eval_data

def add_eval_data(filename: str, doc_index: str = "eval_document", label_index: str = "label", batch_size: Optional[int] = None, preprocessor: Optional[PreProcessor] = None, max_docs: Union[int, bool] = None, open_domain: bool = False, headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None)

Adds a SQuAD-formatted file to the DocumentStore in order to be able to perform evaluation on it.

If a jsonl file and a batch_size is passed to the function, documents are loaded batchwise from disk and also indexed batchwise to the DocumentStore in order to prevent out of memory errors.

Arguments:

filename: Name of the file containing evaluation data (json or jsonl)
doc_index: Elasticsearch index where evaluation documents should be stored
label_index: Elasticsearch index where labeled questions should be stored
batch_size: Optional number of documents that are loaded and processed at a time. When set to None (default) all documents are processed at once.
preprocessor: Optional PreProcessor to preprocess evaluation documents. It can be used for splitting documents into passages (and assigning labels to corresponding passages). Currently the PreProcessor does not support split_by sentence, cleaning nor split_overlap != 0. When set to None (default) preprocessing is disabled.
max_docs: Optional number of documents that will be loaded. When set to None (default) all available eval documents are used.
open_domain: Set this to True if your file is an open domain dataset where two different answers to the same question might be found in different contexts.
headers: Custom HTTP headers to pass to document store client if supported (e.g. {'Authorization': 'Basic YWRtaW46cm9vdA=='} for basic authentication)

BaseDocumentStore.delete_index

BaseDocumentStore.run

def run(documents: List[Union[dict, Document]], index: Optional[str] = None, headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, id_hash_keys: Optional[List[str]] = None)

Run requests of document stores

Comment: We will gradually introduce the primitives. The doument stores also accept dicts and parse them to documents. In the future, however, only documents themselves will be accepted. Parsing the dictionaries in the run function is therefore only an interim solution until the run function also accepts documents.

Arguments:

documents: A list of dicts that are documents.
headers: A list of headers.
index: Optional name of index where the documents shall be written to. If None, the DocumentStore's default index (self.index) will be used.
id_hash_keys: List of the fields that the hashes of the ids are generated from.

def describe_documents(index=None)

Return a summary of the documents in the document store

KeywordDocumentStore

class KeywordDocumentStore(BaseDocumentStore)

filters: Optional filters to narrow down the search space to documents whose metadata fulfill certain conditions. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation.

Example:

filters = {
    "$and": {
        "type": {"$eq": "article"},
        "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},
        "rating": {"$gte": 3},
        "$or": {

    "$or": {
        "genre": ["economy", "politics"],
        "publisher": "nytimes"
    }
}

To use the same logical operator multiple times on the same level, logical operators take optionally a list of dictionaries as value.

Example:

filters = {
    "$or": [
        {
            "$and": {
                "Type": "News Paper",
                "Date": {
                    "$lt": "2019-01-01"
                }
            }
        },
        {
            "$and": {
                "Type": "Blog Post",
                "Date": {
                    "$gte": "2019-01-01"

If true all query terms must be present in a document in order to be retrieved (i.e the AND operator is being used implicitly between query terms: "cozy fish restaurant" -> "cozy AND fish AND restaurant"). Otherwise at least one query term must be present in a document in order to be retrieved (i.e the OR operator is being used implicitly between query terms: "cozy fish restaurant" -> "cozy OR fish OR restaurant"). Defaults to False.
scale_score: Whether to scale the similarity score to the unit interval (range of [0,1]). If true (default) similarity scores (e.g. cosine or dot_product) which naturally have a different value range will be scaled to a range of [0,1], where 1 means extremely relevant. Otherwise raw similarity scores (e.g. cosine or dot_product) will be used.

documents: a list of Python dictionaries or a list of Haystack Document objects. For documents as dictionaries, the format is {"content": ""}. Optionally: Include meta data via {"content": "", "meta":{"name": ", "author": "somebody", ...}} It can be used for filtering and is accessible in the responses of the Finder. Advanced: If you are using your own Elasticsearch mapping, the key names in the dictionary should be changed to what you have set for self.content_field and self.name_field.
index: Elasticsearch index where the documents should be indexed. If not supplied, self.index will be used.
batch_size: Number of documents that are passed to Elasticsearch's bulk function at a time.

If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation.

Example:
```
filters = {
    "$and": {
        "type": {"$eq": "article"},
        "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},
        "rating": {"$gte": 3},
        "$or": {
            "genre": {"$in": ["economy", "politics"]},
            "publisher": {"$eq": "nytimes"}

BaseElasticsearchDocumentStore.get_all_documents_generator

def get_all_documents_generator(index: Optional[str] = None, filters: Optional[Dict[str, Union[Dict, List, str, int, float, bool]]] = None, return_embedding: Optional[bool] = None, batch_size: int = 10_000, headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None) -> Generator[Document, None, None]

Get documents from the document store. Under-the-hood, documents are fetched in batches from the

document store and yielded as individual documents. This method can be used to iteratively process a large number of documents without having to load all documents in memory.

Arguments:

index: Name of the index to get the documents from. If None, the DocumentStore's default index (self.index) will be used.
filters: Optional filters to narrow down the documents to return. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation.

Example:
```
filters = {
    "$and": {
        "type": {"$eq": "article"},
        "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},

        "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},
        "rating": {"$gte": 3},
        "$or": {
            "genre": {"$in": ["economy", "politics"]},
            "publisher": {"$eq": "nytimes"}
        }
    }
}
# or simpler using default operators
filters = {
    "type": "article",
    "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},
    "rating": {"$gte": 3},
    "$or": {
        "genre": ["economy", "politics"],
        "publisher": "nytimes"
    }
}

To use the same logical operator multiple times on the same level, logical operators take optionally a list of dictionaries as value.

Example:

filters = {
    "$or": [
        {
            "$and": {
                "Type": "News Paper",

        },
        {
            "$and": {
                "Type": "Blog Post",
                "Date": {
                    "$gte": "2019-01-01"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

top_k: How many documents to return per query.

custom_query: query string as per Elasticsearch DSL with a mandatory query placeholder(query). Optionally, ES filter clause can be added where the values of terms are placeholders that get substituted during runtime. The placeholder(${filter_name_1}, ${filter_name_2}..) names must match with the filters dict supplied in self.retrieve(). ::

An example custom_query:

|    {
|        "size": 10,
|        "query": {
|            "bool": {
|                "should": [{"multi_match": {
|                    "query": ${query},                 // mandatory query placeholder
|                    "type": "most_fields",
|                    "fields": ["content", "title"]}}],
|                "filter": [                                 // optional custom filters
|                    {"terms": {"year": ${years}}},
|                    {"terms": {"quarter": ${quarters}}},
|                    {"range": {"date": {"gte": ${date}}}}
|                    ],
|            }
|        },
|    }

For this custom_query, a sample retrieve() could be:

|    self.retrieve(query="Why did the revenue increase?",
|                  filters={"years": ["2019"], "quarters": ["Q1", "Q2"]})

Optionally, highlighting can be defined by specifying Elasticsearch's highlight settings. See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/highlighting.html. You will find the highlighted output in the returned Document's meta field by key "highlighted". ::

**Example custom_query with highlighting:**
```python

| { | "size": 10, | "query": { | "bool": { | "should": [{"multi_match": { | "query": ${query}, // mandatory query placeholder | "type": "most_fields", | "fields": ["content", "title"]}}], | } | }, | "highlight": { // enable highlighting | "fields": { // for fields content and title | "content": {}, | "title": {} | } | }, | } ```

**For this custom_query, highlighting info can be accessed by:**

|    docs = self.retrieve(query="Why did the revenue increase?")
|    highlighted_content = docs[0].meta["highlighted"]["content"]
|    highlighted_title = docs[0].meta["highlighted"]["title"]

index: The name of the index in the DocumentStore from which to retrieve documents
headers: Custom HTTP headers to pass to elasticsearch client (e.g. {'Authorization': 'Basic YWRtaW46cm9vdA=='}) Check out https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/http-clients.html for more information.
all_terms_must_match: Whether all terms of the query must match the document. If true all query terms must be present in a document in order to be retrieved (i.e the AND operator is being used implicitly between query terms: "cozy fish restaurant" -> "cozy AND fish AND restaurant"). Otherwise at least one query term must be present in a document in order to be retrieved (i.e the OR operator is being used implicitly between query terms: "cozy fish restaurant" -> "cozy OR fish OR restaurant"). Defaults to false.
scale_score: Whether to scale the similarity score to the unit interval (range of [0,1]). If true (default) similarity scores (e.g. cosine or dot_product) which naturally have a different value range will be scaled to a range of [0,1], where 1 means extremely relevant. Otherwise raw similarity scores (e.g. cosine or dot_product) will be used.

BaseElasticsearchDocumentStore.query_batch

def query_batch(queries: List[str], filters: Optional[
            Union[
                Dict[str, Union[Dict, List, str, int, float, bool]],
                List[Dict[str, Union[Dict, List, str, int, float, bool]]],
            ]
        ] = None, top_k: int = 10, custom_query: Optional[str] = None, index: Optional[str] = None, headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, all_terms_must_match: bool = False, scale_score: bool = True) -> List[List[Document]]

Scan through documents in DocumentStore and return a small number documents

that are most relevant to the provided queries as defined by keyword matching algorithms like BM25.

This method lets you find relevant documents for list of query strings (output: List of Lists of Documents).

Arguments:

queries: List of query strings.
filters: Optional filters to narrow down the search space to documents whose metadata fulfill certain conditions. Can be a single filter that will be applied to each query or a list of filters (one filter per query).

Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation.

__Example__:
```python
filters = {
    &quot;$and&quot;: {
        &quot;type&quot;: {&quot;$eq&quot;: &quot;article&quot;},
        &quot;date&quot;: {&quot;$gte&quot;: &quot;2015-01-01&quot;, &quot;$lt&quot;: &quot;2021-01-01&quot;},
        &quot;rating&quot;: {&quot;$gte&quot;: 3},
        &quot;$or&quot;: {
            &quot;genre&quot;: {&quot;$in&quot;: [&quot;economy&quot;, &quot;politics&quot;]},
            &quot;publisher&quot;: {&quot;$eq&quot;: &quot;nytimes&quot;}
        }
    }
}
# or simpler using default operators
filters = {
    &quot;type&quot;: &quot;article&quot;,
    &quot;date&quot;: {&quot;$gte&quot;: &quot;2015-01-01&quot;, &quot;$lt&quot;: &quot;2021-01-01&quot;},
    &quot;rating&quot;: {&quot;$gte&quot;: 3},
    &quot;$or&quot;: {
        &quot;genre&quot;: [&quot;economy&quot;, &quot;politics&quot;],
        &quot;publisher&quot;: &quot;nytimes&quot;
    }
}
```

To use the same logical operator multiple times on the same level, logical operators take
optionally a list of dictionaries as value.

__Example__:
```python
filters = {
    &quot;$or&quot;: [
        {
            &quot;$and&quot;: {
                &quot;Type&quot;: &quot;News Paper&quot;,
                &quot;Date&quot;: {
                    &quot;$lt&quot;: &quot;2019-01-01&quot;
                }
            }
        },
        {
            &quot;$and&quot;: {
                &quot;Type&quot;: &quot;Blog Post&quot;,
                &quot;Date&quot;: {
                    &quot;$gte&quot;: &quot;2019-01-01&quot;
                }

A DocumentStore using Elasticsearch to store and query the documents for our search.

Keeps all the logic to store and query documents from Elastic, incl. mapping of fields, adding filters or boosts to your queries, and storing embeddings
- You can either use an existing Elasticsearch index or create a new one via haystack
- Retrievers operate on top of this DocumentStore to find the relevant documents for a query

Arguments:

host: url(s) of elasticsearch nodes
port: port(s) of elasticsearch nodes
username: username (standard authentication via http_auth)
password: password (standard authentication via http_auth)
api_key_id: ID of the API key (altenative authentication mode to the above http_auth)
api_key: Secret value of the API key (altenative authentication mode to the above http_auth)
aws4auth: Authentication for usage with aws elasticsearch (can be generated with the requests-aws4auth package)
index: Name of index in elasticsearch to use for storing the documents that we want to search. If not existing yet, we will create one.
label_index: Name of index in elasticsearch to use for storing labels. If not existing yet, we will create one.
search_fields: Name of fields used by BM25Retriever to find matches in the docs to our incoming query (using elastic's multi_match query), e.g. ["title", "full_text"]
content_field: Name of field that might contain the answer and will therefore be passed to the Reader Model (e.g. "full_text"). If no Reader is used (e.g. in FAQ-Style QA) the plain content of this field will just be returned.
name_field: Name of field that contains the title of the the doc
embedding_field: Name of field containing an embedding vector (Only needed when using a dense retriever (e.g. DensePassageRetriever, EmbeddingRetriever) on top)
embedding_dim: Dimensionality of embedding vector (Only needed when using a dense retriever (e.g. DensePassageRetriever, EmbeddingRetriever) on top)
custom_mapping: If you want to use your own custom mapping for creating a new index in Elasticsearch, you can supply it here as a dictionary.
analyzer: Specify the default analyzer from one of the built-ins when creating a new Elasticsearch Index. Elasticsearch also has built-in analyzers for different languages (e.g. impacting tokenization). More info at: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.9/analysis-analyzers.html
excluded_meta_data: Name of fields in Elasticsearch that should not be returned (e.g. [field_one, field_two]). Helpful if you have fields with long, irrelevant content that you don't want to display in results (e.g. embedding vectors).
scheme: 'https' or 'http', protocol used to connect to your elasticsearch instance
ca_certs: Root certificates for SSL: it is a path to certificate authority (CA) certs on disk. You can use certifi package with certifi.where() to find where the CA certs file is located in your machine.
verify_certs: Whether to be strict about ca certificates
recreate_index: If set to True, an existing elasticsearch index will be deleted and a new one will be created using the config you are using for initialization. Be aware that all data in the old index will be lost if you choose to recreate the index. Be aware that both the document_index and the label_index will be recreated.
create_index: Whether to try creating a new index (If the index of that name is already existing, we will just continue in any case) ..deprecated:: 2.0 This param is deprecated. In the next major version we will always try to create an index if there is no existing index (the current behaviour when create_index=True). If you are looking to recreate an existing index by deleting it first if it already exist use param recreate_index.
refresh_type: Type of ES refresh used to control when changes made by a request (e.g. bulk) are made visible to search. If set to 'wait_for', continue only after changes are visible (slow, but safe). If set to 'false', continue directly (fast, but sometimes unintuitive behaviour when docs are not immediately available after ingestion). More info at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/docs-refresh.html
similarity: The similarity function used to compare document vectors. 'dot_product' is the default since it is more performant with DPR embeddings. 'cosine' is recommended if you are using a Sentence BERT model.
timeout: Number of seconds after which an ElasticSearch request times out.
return_embedding: To return document embedding
duplicate_documents: Handle duplicates document based on parameter options. Parameter options : ( 'skip','overwrite','fail') skip: Ignore the duplicates documents overwrite: Update any existing documents with the same ID when adding documents. fail: an error is raised if the document ID of the document being added already exists.
index_type: The type of index to be created. Choose from 'flat' and 'hnsw'. Currently the ElasticsearchDocumentStore does not support HNSW but OpenDistroElasticsearchDocumentStore does.
scroll: Determines how long the current index is fixed, e.g. during updating all documents with embeddings. Defaults to "1d" and should not be larger than this. Can also be in minutes "5m" or hours "15h" For details, see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/scroll-api.html
skip_missing_embeddings: Parameter to control queries based on vector similarity when indexed documents miss embeddings. Parameter options: (True, False) False: Raises exception if one or more documents do not have embeddings at query time True: Query will ignore all documents without embeddings (recommended if you concurrently index and query)
synonyms: List of synonyms can be passed while elasticsearch initialization. For example: [ "foo, bar => baz", "foozball , foosball" ] More info at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-synonym-tokenfilter.html
synonym_type: Synonym filter type can be passed. Synonym or Synonym_graph to handle synonyms, including multi-word synonyms correctly during the analysis process. More info at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-synonym-graph-tokenfilter.html

port: port(s) of elasticsearch nodes
username: username (standard authentication via http_auth)
password: password (standard authentication via http_auth)

api_key: Secret value of the API key (altenative authentication mode to the above http_auth)
aws4auth: Authentication for usage with aws elasticsearch (can be generated with the requests-aws4auth package)
index: Name of index in elasticsearch to use for storing the documents that we want to search. If not existing yet, we will create one.
label_index: Name of index in elasticsearch to use for storing labels. If not existing yet, we will create one.
search_fields: Name of fields used by BM25Retriever to find matches in the docs to our incoming query (using elastic's multi_match query), e.g. ["title", "full_text"]
content_field: Name of field that might contain the answer and will therefore be passed to the Reader Model (e.g. "full_text"). If no Reader is used (e.g. in FAQ-Style QA) the plain content of this field will just be returned.
name_field: Name of field that contains the title of the the doc
embedding_field: Name of field containing an embedding vector (Only needed when using a dense retriever (e.g. DensePassageRetriever, EmbeddingRetriever) on top) Note, that in OpenSearch the similarity type for efficient approximate vector similarity calculations is tied to the embedding field's data type which cannot be changed after creation.
embedding_dim: Dimensionality of embedding vector (Only needed when using a dense retriever (e.g. DensePassageRetriever, EmbeddingRetriever) on top)
custom_mapping: If you want to use your own custom mapping for creating a new index in Elasticsearch, you can supply it here as a dictionary.
analyzer: Specify the default analyzer from one of the built-ins when creating a new Elasticsearch Index. Elasticsearch also has built-in analyzers for different languages (e.g. impacting tokenization). More info at: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.9/analysis-analyzers.html
excluded_meta_data: Name of fields in Elasticsearch that should not be returned (e.g. [field_one, field_two]). Helpful if you have fields with long, irrelevant content that you don't want to display in results (e.g. embedding vectors).

refresh_type: Type of ES refresh used to control when changes made by a request (e.g. bulk) are made visible to search. If set to 'wait_for', continue only after changes are visible (slow, but safe). If set to 'false', continue directly (fast, but sometimes unintuitive behaviour when docs are not immediately available after ingestion). More info at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/docs-refresh.html
similarity: The similarity function used to compare document vectors. 'dot_product' is the default since it is more performant with DPR embeddings. 'cosine' is recommended if you are using a Sentence BERT model. Note, that the use of efficient approximate vector calculations in OpenSearch is tied to embedding_field's data type which cannot be changed after creation. You won't be able to use approximate vector calculations on an embedding_field which was created with a different similarity value. In such cases a fallback to exact but slow vector calculations will happen and a warning will be displayed.
timeout: Number of seconds after which an ElasticSearch request times out.
return_embedding: To return document embedding
duplicate_documents: Handle duplicates document based on parameter options. Parameter options : ( 'skip','overwrite','fail') skip: Ignore the duplicates documents overwrite: Update any existing documents with the same ID when adding documents. fail: an error is raised if the document ID of the document being added already exists.
index_type: The type of index to be created. Choose from 'flat' and 'hnsw'. As OpenSearch currently does not support all similarity functions (e.g. dot_product) in exact vector similarity calculations, we don't make use of exact vector similarity when index_type='flat'. Instead we use the same approximate vector similarity calculations like in 'hnsw', but further optimized for accuracy. Exact vector similarity is only used as fallback when there's a mismatch between certain requested and indexed similarity types. In these cases however, a warning will be displayed. See similarity param for more information.
scroll: Determines how long the current index is fixed, e.g. during updating all documents with embeddings. Defaults to "1d" and should not be larger than this. Can also be in minutes "5m" or hours "15h" For details, see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/scroll-api.html
skip_missing_embeddings: Parameter to control queries based on vector similarity when indexed documents miss embeddings. Parameter options: (True, False) False: Raises exception if one or more documents do not have embeddings at query time True: Query will ignore all documents without embeddings (recommended if you concurrently index and query)
synonyms: List of synonyms can be passed while elasticsearch initialization. For example: [ "foo, bar => baz", "foozball , foosball" ] More info at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-synonym-tokenfilter.html
synonym_type: Synonym filter type can be passed. Synonym or Synonym_graph to handle synonyms, including multi-word synonyms correctly during the analysis process. More info at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-synonym-graph-tokenfilter.html

def __init__(index: str = "document", label_index: str = "label", embedding_field: Optional[str] = "embedding", embedding_dim: int = 768, return_embedding: bool = False, similarity: str = "dot_product", progress_bar: bool = True, duplicate_documents: str = "overwrite", use_gpu: bool = True, scoring_batch_size: int = 500000)

Arguments:

index: The documents are scoped to an index attribute that can be used when writing, querying, or deleting documents. This parameter sets the default value for document index.
label_index: The default value of index attribute for the labels.
embedding_field: Name of field containing an embedding vector (Only needed when using a dense retriever (e.g. DensePassageRetriever, EmbeddingRetriever) on top)
embedding_dim: The size of the embedding vector.
return_embedding: To return document embedding
similarity: The similarity function used to compare document vectors. 'dot_product' is the default sine it is more performant with DPR embeddings. 'cosine' is recommended if you are using a Sentence BERT model.
progress_bar: Whether to show a tqdm progress bar or not. Can be helpful to disable in production deployments to keep the logs clean.
duplicate_documents: Handle duplicates document based on parameter options. Parameter options : ( 'skip','overwrite','fail') skip: Ignore the duplicates documents overwrite: Update any existing documents with the same ID when adding documents. fail: an error is raised if the document ID of the document being added already exists.
use_gpu: Whether to use a GPU or the CPU for calculating embedding similarity. Falls back to CPU if no GPU is available.
scoring_batch_size: Batch size of documents to calculate similarity for. Very small batch sizes are inefficent. Very large batch sizes can overrun GPU memory. In general you want to make sure you have at least embedding_dim*scoring_batch_size*4 bytes available in GPU memory. Since the data is originally stored in CPU memory there is little risk of overruning memory when running on CPU.

InMemoryDocumentStore.write_documents

def write_documents(documents: Union[List[dict], List[Document]], index: Optional[str] = None, batch_size: int = 10_000, duplicate_documents: Optional[str] = None, headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None)

The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation. Example:
```
filters = {
    "$and": {

        "genre": ["economy", "politics"],
        "publisher": "nytimes"
    }
}
```

To use the same logical operator multiple times on the same level, logical operators take optionally a list of dictionaries as value. Example: python filters = { "$or": [ { "$and": { "Type": "News Paper", "Date": { "$lt": "2019-01-01" } } }, { "$and": { "Type": "Blog Post", "Date": { "$gte": "2019-01-01" } } } ] }

update_existing_embeddings: Whether to update existing embeddings of the documents. If set to False, only documents without embeddings are processed. This mode can be used for incremental updating of embeddings, wherein, only newly indexed documents get processed.
filters: Narrow down the scope to documents that match the given filters. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation. Example:
```

Get all documents from the document store. The methods returns a Python Generator that yields individual

documents.

Arguments:

index: Name of the index to get the documents from. If None, the DocumentStore's default index (self.index) will be used.
filters: Narrow down the scope to documents that match the given filters. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation. Example:
```
filters = {
    "$and": {
        "type": {"$eq": "article"},
        "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},

Module faiss

FAISSDocumentStore

class FAISSDocumentStore(SQLDocumentStore)

Document store for very large scale embedding based dense retrievers like the DPR.

It implements the FAISS library(https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss) to perform similarity search on vectors.

The document text and meta-data (for filtering) are stored using the SQLDocumentStore, while the vector embeddings are indexed in a FAISS Index.

FAISSDocumentStore.init

def __init__(sql_url: str = "sqlite:///faiss_document_store.db", vector_dim: int = None, embedding_dim: int = 768, faiss_index_factory_str: str = "Flat", faiss_index: Optional[faiss.swigfaiss.Index] = None, return_embedding: bool = False, index: str = "document", similarity: str = "dot_product", embedding_field: str = "embedding", progress_bar: bool = True, duplicate_documents: str = "overwrite", faiss_index_path: Union[str, Path] = None, faiss_config_path: Union[str, Path] = None, isolation_level: str = None, n_links: int = 64, ef_search: int = 20, ef_construction: int = 80, validate_index_sync: bool = True)

Arguments:

sql_url: SQL connection URL for database. It defaults to local file based SQLite DB. For large scale deployment, Postgres is recommended.
vector_dim: Deprecated. Use embedding_dim instead.
embedding_dim: The embedding vector size. Default: 768.
faiss_index_factory_str: Create a new FAISS index of the specified type. The type is determined from the given string following the conventions of the original FAISS index factory. Recommended options:
"Flat" (default): Best accuracy (= exact). Becomes slow and RAM intense for > 1 Mio docs.
"HNSW": Graph-based heuristic. If not further specified, we use the following config: HNSW64, efConstruction=80 and efSearch=20
"IVFx,Flat": Inverted Index. Replace x with the number of centroids aka nlist. Rule of thumb: nlist = 10 * sqrt (num_docs) is a good starting point. For more details see:
Overview of indices https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/wiki/Faiss-indexes
Guideline for choosing an index https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/wiki/Guidelines-to-choose-an-index
FAISS Index factory https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/wiki/The-index-factory Benchmarks: XXX
faiss_index: Pass an existing FAISS Index, i.e. an empty one that you configured manually or one with docs that you used in Haystack before and want to load again.
return_embedding: To return document embedding. Unlike other document stores, FAISS will return normalized embeddings
index: Name of index in document store to use.
similarity: The similarity function used to compare document vectors. 'dot_product' is the default since it is more performant with DPR embeddings. 'cosine' is recommended if you are using a Sentence-Transformer model. In both cases, the returned values in Document.score are normalized to be in range [0,1]: For dot_product: expit(np.asarray(raw_score / 100)) FOr cosine: (raw_score + 1) / 2
embedding_field: Name of field containing an embedding vector.
progress_bar: Whether to show a tqdm progress bar or not. Can be helpful to disable in production deployments to keep the logs clean.
duplicate_documents: Handle duplicates document based on parameter options. Parameter options : ( 'skip','overwrite','fail') skip: Ignore the duplicates documents overwrite: Update any existing documents with the same ID when adding documents. fail: an error is raised if the document ID of the document being added already exists.
faiss_index_path: Stored FAISS index file. Can be created via calling save(). If specified no other params besides faiss_config_path must be specified.
faiss_config_path: Stored FAISS initial configuration parameters. Can be created via calling save()
isolation_level: see SQLAlchemy's isolation_level parameter for create_engine() (https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/engines.html#sqlalchemy.create_engine.params.isolation_level)
n_links: used only if index_factory == "HNSW"
ef_search: used only if index_factory == "HNSW"
ef_construction: used only if index_factory == "HNSW"
validate_index_sync: Whether to check that the document count equals the embedding count at initialization time

Module milvus1

Milvus1DocumentStore

class Milvus1DocumentStore(SQLDocumentStore)

Milvus (https://milvus.io/) is a highly reliable, scalable Document Store specialized on storing and processing vectors. Therefore, it is particularly suited for Haystack users that work with dense retrieval methods (like DPR). In contrast to FAISS, Milvus ...

runs as a separate service (e.g. a Docker container) and can scale easily in a distributed environment
allows dynamic data management (i.e. you can insert/delete vectors without recreating the whole index)
encapsulates multiple ANN libraries (FAISS, ANNOY ...)

This class uses Milvus for all vector related storage, processing and querying. The meta-data (e.g. for filtering) and the document text are however stored in a separate SQL Database as Milvus does not allow these data types (yet).

Usage:

Start a Milvus server (see https://milvus.io/docs/v1.0.0/install_milvus.md)
Run pip install farm-haystack[milvus1]
Init a MilvusDocumentStore in Haystack

Milvus1DocumentStore.init

def __init__(sql_url: str = "sqlite:///", milvus_url: str = "tcp://localhost:19530", connection_pool: str = "SingletonThread", index: str = "document", vector_dim: int = None, embedding_dim: int = 768, index_file_size: int = 1024, similarity: str = "dot_product", index_type: IndexType = IndexType.FLAT, index_param: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, search_param: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, return_embedding: bool = False, embedding_field: str = "embedding", progress_bar: bool = True, duplicate_documents: str = "overwrite", isolation_level: str = None)

WARNING: Milvus1DocumentStore is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Please switch to Milvus2

or consider using another DocumentStore.

Arguments:

sql_url: SQL connection URL for storing document texts and metadata. It defaults to a local, file based SQLite DB. For large scale deployment, Postgres is recommended. If using MySQL then same server can also be used for Milvus metadata. For more details see https://milvus.io/docs/v1.0.0/data_manage.md.
milvus_url: Milvus server connection URL for storing and processing vectors. Protocol, host and port will automatically be inferred from the URL. See https://milvus.io/docs/v1.0.0/install_milvus.md for instructions to start a Milvus instance.
connection_pool: Connection pool type to connect with Milvus server. Default: "SingletonThread".
index: Index name for text, embedding and metadata (in Milvus terms, this is the "collection name").
vector_dim: Deprecated. Use embedding_dim instead.
embedding_dim: The embedding vector size. Default: 768.
index_file_size: Specifies the size of each segment file that is stored by Milvus and its default value is 1024 MB. When the size of newly inserted vectors reaches the specified volume, Milvus packs these vectors into a new segment. Milvus creates one index file for each segment. When conducting a vector search, Milvus searches all index files one by one. As a rule of thumb, we would see a 30% ~ 50% increase in the search performance after changing the value of index_file_size from 1024 to 2048. Note that an overly large index_file_size value may cause failure to load a segment into the memory or graphics memory. (From https://milvus.io/docs/v1.0.0/performance_faq.md#How-can-I-get-the-best-performance-from-Milvus-through-setting-index_file_size)
similarity: The similarity function used to compare document vectors. 'dot_product' is the default and recommended for DPR embeddings. 'cosine' is recommended for Sentence Transformers.
index_type: Type of approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) index used. The choice here determines your tradeoff between speed and accuracy. Some popular options:
FLAT (default): Exact method, slow
IVF_FLAT, inverted file based heuristic, fast
HSNW: Graph based, fast
ANNOY: Tree based, fast See: https://milvus.io/docs/v1.0.0/index.md
index_param: Configuration parameters for the chose index_type needed at indexing time. For example: {"nlist": 16384} as the number of cluster units to create for index_type IVF_FLAT. See https://milvus.io/docs/v1.0.0/index.md
search_param: Configuration parameters for the chose index_type needed at query time For example: {"nprobe": 10} as the number of cluster units to query for index_type IVF_FLAT. See https://milvus.io/docs/v1.0.0/index.md
return_embedding: To return document embedding.
embedding_field: Name of field containing an embedding vector.
progress_bar: Whether to show a tqdm progress bar or not. Can be helpful to disable in production deployments to keep the logs clean.
duplicate_documents: Handle duplicates document based on parameter options. Parameter options : ( 'skip','overwrite','fail') skip: Ignore the duplicates documents overwrite: Update any existing documents with the same ID when adding documents. fail: an error is raised if the document ID of the document being added already exists.
isolation_level: see SQLAlchemy's isolation_level parameter for create_engine() (https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/engines.html#sqlalchemy.create_engine.params.isolation_level)

Module milvus2

Milvus2DocumentStore

class Milvus2DocumentStore(SQLDocumentStore)

Limitations: Milvus 2.0 so far doesn't support the deletion of documents (https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/issues/7130). Therefore, delete_documents() and update_embeddings() won't work yet.

Differences to 1.x: Besides big architectural changes that impact performance and reliability 2.0 supports the filtering by scalar data types. For Haystack users this means you can now run a query using vector similarity and filter for some meta data at the same time! (See https://milvus.io/docs/v2.0.x/comparison.md for more details)

Usage:

Start a Milvus service via docker (see https://milvus.io/docs/v2.0.x/install_standalone-docker.md)
Run pip install farm-haystack[milvus]
Init a MilvusDocumentStore() in Haystack

Overview: Milvus (https://milvus.io/) is a highly reliable, scalable Document Store specialized on storing and processing vectors. Therefore, it is particularly suited for Haystack users that work with dense retrieval methods (like DPR).

In contrast to FAISS, Milvus ...

runs as a separate service (e.g. a Docker container) and can scale easily in a distributed environment
allows dynamic data management (i.e. you can insert/delete vectors without recreating the whole index)
encapsulates multiple ANN libraries (FAISS, ANNOY ...)

Milvus2DocumentStore.init

def __init__(sql_url: str = "sqlite:///", host: str = "localhost", port: str = "19530", connection_pool: str = "SingletonThread", index: str = "document", vector_dim: int = None, embedding_dim: int = 768, index_file_size: int = 1024, similarity: str = "dot_product", index_type: str = "IVF_FLAT", index_param: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, search_param: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, return_embedding: bool = False, embedding_field: str = "embedding", id_field: str = "id", custom_fields: Optional[List[Any]] = None, progress_bar: bool = True, duplicate_documents: str = "overwrite", isolation_level: str = None, consistency_level: int = 0, recreate_index: bool = False)

Arguments:

index: Index name for text, embedding and metadata (in Milvus terms, this is the "collection name").
vector_dim: Deprecated. Use embedding_dim instead.
embedding_dim: The embedding vector size. Default: 768.
index_file_size: Specifies the size of each segment file that is stored by Milvus and its default value is 1024 MB. When the size of newly inserted vectors reaches the specified volume, Milvus packs these vectors into a new segment. Milvus creates one index file for each segment. When conducting a vector search, Milvus searches all index files one by one.

Note that an overly large index_file_size value may cause failure to load a segment into the memory or graphics memory. (From https://milvus.io/docs/v2.0.x/performance_faq.md)
similarity: The similarity function used to compare document vectors. 'dot_product' is the default and recommended for DPR embeddings. 'cosine' is recommended for Sentence Transformers, but is not directly supported by Milvus. However, you can normalize your embeddings and use dot_product to get the same results. See https://milvus.io/docs/v2.0.x/metric.md.

recreate_index: If set to True, an existing Milvus index will be deleted and a new one will be created using the config you are using for initialization. Be aware that all data in the old index will be lost if you choose to recreate the index. Be aware that both the document_index and the label_index will be recreated.

Module weaviate

WeaviateDocumentStore

class WeaviateDocumentStore(BaseDocumentStore)

Weaviate is a cloud-native, modular, real-time vector search engine built to scale your machine learning models. (See https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/current/index.html#what-is-weaviate)

Some of the key differences in contrast to FAISS & Milvus:

Stores everything in one place: documents, meta data and vectors - so less network overhead when scaling this up
Allows combination of vector search and scalar filtering, i.e. you can filter for a certain tag and do dense retrieval on that subset
Has less variety of ANN algorithms, as of now only HNSW.
Requires document ids to be in uuid-format. If wrongly formatted ids are provided at indexing time they will be replaced with uuids automatically.
Only support cosine similarity.

Weaviate python client is used to connect to the server, more details are here https://weaviate-python-client.readthedocs.io/en/docs/weaviate.html

Usage:

Start a Weaviate server (see https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/current/getting-started/installation.html)
Init a WeaviateDocumentStore in Haystack

Limitations: The current implementation is not supporting the storage of labels, so you cannot run any evaluation workflows.

Note this limitation from the changelog of Weaviate 1.8.0:

.. quote:: Due to the increasing cost of each page outlined above, there is a limit to how many objects can be retrieved using pagination. By default setting the sum of offset and limit to higher than 10,000 objects, will lead to an error. If you must retrieve more than 10,000 objects, you can increase this limit by setting the environment variable QUERY_MAXIMUM_RESULTS=<desired-value>.

Warning: Setting this to arbitrarily high values can make the memory consumption
of a single query explode and single queries can slow down the entire cluster.
We recommend setting this value to the lowest possible value that does not
interfere with your users&#39; expectations.

(https://github.com/semi-technologies/weaviate/releases/tag/v1.8.0)

Arguments:

index: Name of the index to get the documents from. If None, the DocumentStore's default index (self.index) will be used.
filters: Optional filters to narrow down the search space to documents whose metadata fulfill certain conditions. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation.

Example:
```
filters = {
    "$and": {
        "type": {"$eq": "article"},
        "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},
        "rating": {"$gte": 3},
        "$or": {
            "genre": {"$in": ["economy", "politics"]},
            "publisher": {"$eq": "nytimes"}
        }
    }
}
```

DeepsetCloudDocumentStore

class DeepsetCloudDocumentStore(KeywordDocumentStore)

DeepsetCloudDocumentStore.init

def __init__(api_key: str = None, workspace: str = "default", index: Optional[str] = None, duplicate_documents: str = "overwrite", api_endpoint: Optional[str] = None, similarity: str = "dot_product", return_embedding: bool = False, label_index: str = "default")

A DocumentStore facade enabling you to interact with the documents stored in deepset Cloud.

Thus you can run experiments like trying new nodes, pipelines, etc. without having to index your data again.

You can also use this DocumentStore to create new pipelines on deepset Cloud. To do that, take the following steps:

create a new DeepsetCloudDocumentStore without an index (e.g. DeepsetCloudDocumentStore())
create query and indexing pipelines using this DocumentStore
call Pipeline.save_to_deepset_cloud() passing the pipelines and a pipeline_config_name
call Pipeline.deploy_on_deepset_cloud() passing the pipeline_config_name

DeepsetCloudDocumentStore is not intended for use in production-like scenarios. See https://haystack.deepset.ai/components/document-store for more information.

Arguments:

api_key: Secret value of the API key. If not specified, will be read from DEEPSET_CLOUD_API_KEY environment variable. See docs on how to generate an API key for your workspace: https://docs.cloud.deepset.ai/docs/connect-deepset-cloud-to-your-application
workspace: workspace name in deepset Cloud
index: name of the index to access within the deepset Cloud workspace. This equals typically the name of your pipeline. You can run Pipeline.list_pipelines_on_deepset_cloud() to see all available ones. If you set index to None, this DocumentStore will always return empty results. This is especially useful if you want to create a new Pipeline within deepset Cloud (see Pipeline.save_to_deepset_cloud()andPipeline.deploy_on_deepset_cloud()`).
duplicate_documents: Handle duplicates document based on parameter options. Parameter options : ( 'skip','overwrite','fail') skip: Ignore the duplicates documents overwrite: Update any existing documents with the same ID when adding documents. fail: an error is raised if the document ID of the document being added already exists.
api_endpoint: The URL of the deepset Cloud API. If not specified, will be read from DEEPSET_CLOUD_API_ENDPOINT environment variable. If DEEPSET_CLOUD_API_ENDPOINT environment variable is not specified either, defaults to "https://api.cloud.deepset.ai/api/v1".
similarity: The similarity function used to compare document vectors. 'dot_product' is the default since it is more performant with DPR embeddings. 'cosine' is recommended if you are using a Sentence Transformer model.
label_index: index for the evaluation set interface
return_embedding: To return document embedding.

Module pinecone

PineconeDocumentStore

class PineconeDocumentStore(SQLDocumentStore)

Document store for very large scale embedding based dense retrievers like the DPR. This is a hosted document store, this means that your vectors will not be stored locally but in the cloud. This means that the similarity search will be run on the cloud as well.

It implements the Pinecone vector database (https://www.pinecone.io) to perform similarity search on vectors. In order to use this document store, you need an API key that you can obtain by creating an account on the Pinecone website.

The document text is stored using the SQLDocumentStore, while the vector embeddings and metadata (for filtering) are indexed in a Pinecone Index.

PineconeDocumentStore.init

def __init__(api_key: str, environment: str = "us-west1-gcp", sql_url: str = "sqlite:///pinecone_document_store.db", pinecone_index: Optional[pinecone.Index] = None, embedding_dim: int = 768, return_embedding: bool = False, index: str = "document", similarity: str = "cosine", replicas: int = 1, shards: int = 1, embedding_field: str = "embedding", progress_bar: bool = True, duplicate_documents: str = "overwrite", recreate_index: bool = False, metadata_config: dict = {"indexed": []}, validate_index_sync: bool = True)

Arguments:

api_key: Pinecone vector database API key (https://app.pinecone.io).
environment: Pinecone cloud environment uses "us-west1-gcp" by default. Other GCP and AWS regions are supported, contact Pinecone here if required.
sql_url: SQL connection URL for database. It defaults to local file based SQLite DB. For large scale deployment, Postgres is recommended.
pinecone_index: pinecone-client Index object, an index will be initialized or loaded if not specified.
embedding_dim: The embedding vector size.
return_embedding: Whether to return document embeddings.
index: Name of index in document store to use.
similarity: The similarity function used to compare document vectors. "cosine" is the default and is recommended if you are using a Sentence-Transformer model. "dot_product" is more performant with DPR embeddings. In both cases, the returned values in Document.score are normalized to be in range [0,1]:
- For "dot_product": expit(np.asarray(raw_score / 100))
- For "cosine": (raw_score + 1) / 2
replicas: The number of replicas. Replicas duplicate the index. They provide higher availability and throughput.
shards: The number of shards to be used in the index. We recommend to use 1 shard per 1GB of data.
embedding_field: Name of field containing an embedding vector.
progress_bar: Whether to show a tqdm progress bar or not. Can be helpful to disable in production deployments to keep the logs clean.
duplicate_documents: Handle duplicate documents based on parameter options.
Parameter options:
- "skip": Ignore the duplicate documents.
- "overwrite": Update any existing documents with the same ID when adding documents.
- "fail": An error is raised if the document ID of the document being added already exists.
recreate_index: If set to True, an existing Pinecone index will be deleted and a new one will be created using the config you are using for initialization. Be aware that all data in the old index will be lost if you choose to recreate the index. Be aware that both the document_index and the label_index will be recreated.
metadata_config: Which metadata fields should be indexed. Should be in the format {"indexed": ["metadata-field-1", "metadata-field-2", "metadata-field-n"]}.
validate_index_sync: Whether to check that the document count equals the embedding count at initialization time

PineconeDocumentStore.write_documents

def write_documents(documents: Union[List[dict], List[Document]], index: Optional[str] = None, batch_size: int = 32, duplicate_documents: Optional[str] = None, headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None)

Add new documents to the DocumentStore.

Arguments:

documents: List of Dicts or list of Documents. If they already contain embeddings, we'll index them right away in Pinecone. If not, you can later call update_embeddings() to create & index them.
index: Index name for storing the docs and metadata.
batch_size: Number of documents to process at a time. When working with large number of documents, batching can help to reduce the memory footprint.
duplicate_documents: handle duplicate documents based on parameter options. Parameter options:
- "skip": Ignore the duplicate documents.
- "overwrite": Update any existing documents with the same ID when adding documents.
- "fail": An error is raised if the document ID of the document being added already exists.
headers: PineconeDocumentStore does not support headers.

This can be useful if you want to add or change the embeddings for your documents (e.g. after changing the retriever config).

Arguments:

retriever: Retriever to use to get embeddings for text.
index: Index name for which embeddings are to be updated. If set to None, the default self.index is used.
update_existing_embeddings: Whether to update existing embeddings of the documents. If set to False, only documents without embeddings are processed. This mode can be used for incremental updating of embeddings, wherein, only newly indexed documents get processed.
filters: Optional filters to narrow down the documents for which embeddings are to be updated. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation. If no comparison operator is provided, "$eq" (or "$in" if the comparison value is a list) is used as default operation. Example:
```
filters = {
    "$and": {
        "type": {"$eq": "article"},
        "date": {"$gte": "2015-01-01", "$lt": "2021-01-01"},

Get all documents from the document store. Under-the-hood, documents are fetched in batches from the

document store and yielded as individual documents. This method can be used to iteratively process a large number of documents without having to load all documents in memory.

Arguments:

index: Name of the index to get the documents from. If None, the DocumentStore's default index (self.index) will be used.
filters: Optional filters to narrow down the documents for which embeddings are to be updated. Filters are defined as nested dictionaries. The keys of the dictionaries can be a logical operator ("$and", "$or", "$not"), a comparison operator ("$eq", "$in", "$gt", "$gte", "$lt", "$lte") or a metadata field name. Logical operator keys take a dictionary of metadata field names and/or logical operators as value. Metadata field names take a dictionary of comparison operators as value. Comparison operator keys take a single value or (in case of "$in") a list of values as value. If no logical operator is provided, "$and" is used as default operation.

PineconeDocumentStore.load

@classmethod
def load(cls)

Default class method used for loading indexes. Not applicable to the PineconeDocumentStore.

Module utils

eval_data_from_json

def eval_data_from_json(filename: str, max_docs: Union[int, bool] = None, preprocessor: PreProcessor = None, open_domain: bool = False) -> Tuple[List[Document], List[Label]]

Read Documents + Labels from a SQuAD-style file.

Document and Labels can then be indexed to the DocumentStore and be used for evaluation.

Arguments:

filename: Path to file in SQuAD format
max_docs: This sets the number of documents that will be loaded. By default, this is set to None, thus reading in all available eval documents.
open_domain: Set this to True if your file is an open domain dataset where two different answers to the same question might be found in different contexts.

eval_data_from_jsonl

def eval_data_from_jsonl(filename: str, batch_size: Optional[int] = None, max_docs: Union[int, bool] = None, preprocessor: PreProcessor = None, open_domain: bool = False) -> Generator[Tuple[List[Document], List[Label]], None, None]

Read Documents + Labels from a SQuAD-style file in jsonl format, i.e. one document per line.

Document and Labels can then be indexed to the DocumentStore and be used for evaluation.

This is a generator which will yield one tuple per iteration containing a list of batch_size documents and a list with the documents' labels. If batch_size is set to None, this method will yield all documents and labels.

Arguments:

filename: Path to file in SQuAD format
max_docs: This sets the number of documents that will be loaded. By default, this is set to None, thus reading in all available eval documents.
open_domain: Set this to True if your file is an open domain dataset where two different answers to the same question might be found in different contexts.

squad_json_to_jsonl

def squad_json_to_jsonl(squad_file: str, output_file: str)

Converts a SQuAD-json-file into jsonl format with one document per line.

Arguments:

squad_file: SQuAD-file in json format.
output_file: Name of output file (SQuAD in jsonl format)

convert_date_to_rfc3339

def convert_date_to_rfc3339(date: str) -> str

Converts a date to RFC3339 format, as Weaviate requires dates to be in RFC3339 format including the time and timezone.

If the provided date string does not contain a time and/or timezone, we use 00:00 as default time and UTC as default time zone.

This method cannot be part of WeaviateDocumentStore, as this would result in a circular import between weaviate.py and filter_utils.py.
