create_index(num_lists: int = 100, dimensions: int = 1536, similarity: CosmosDBSimilarityType = CosmosDBSimilarityType.COS) → dict[str, Any][source]¶
Creates an index using the index name specified at

instance construction

Setting the numLists parameter correctly is important for achieving

good accuracy and performance. Since the vector store uses IVF as the indexing strategy, you should create the index only after you have loaded a large enough sample documents to ensure that the centroids for the respective buckets are faily distributed.

We recommend that numLists is set to documentCount/1000 for up

to 1 million documents and to sqrt(documentCount) for more than 1 million documents. As the number of items in your database grows, you should tune numLists to be larger in order to achieve good latency performance for vector search.

If you’re experimenting with a new scenario or creating a small demo, you can start with numLists set to 1 to perform a brute-force search across all vectors. This should provide you with the most accurate results from the vector search, however be aware that the search speed and latency will be slow. After your initial setup, you should go ahead and tune the numLists parameter using the above guidance.

Parameters

  • num_lists – This integer is the number of clusters that the inverted file (IVF) index uses to group the vector data. We recommend that numLists is set to documentCount/1000 for up to 1 million documents and to sqrt(documentCount) for more than 1 million documents. Using a numLists value of 1 is akin to performing brute-force search, which has limited performance

  • dimensions – Number of dimensions for vector similarity. The maximum number of supported dimensions is 2000

  • similarity –

    Similarity metric to use with the IVF index.

    Possible options are:

    • CosmosDBSimilarityType.COS (cosine distance),

    • CosmosDBSimilarityType.L2 (Euclidean distance), and

    • CosmosDBSimilarityType.IP (inner product).

Returns

An object describing the created index

delete(ids: Optional[List[str]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Optional[bool][source]¶

Delete by vector ID or other criteria.

Parameters

  • ids – List of ids to delete.

  • **kwargs – Other keyword arguments that subclasses might use.

Return type

Optional[bool]

delete_document_by_id(document_id: Optional[str] = None) → None[source]¶

Removes a Specific Document by Id

Parameters
