langchain_community.vectorstores.redis.base.Redis¶

class langchain_community.vectorstores.redis.base.Redis(redis_url: str, index_name: str, embedding: Embeddings, index_schema: Optional[Union[Dict[str, List[Dict[str, str]]], str, PathLike]] = None, vector_schema: Optional[Dict[str, Union[str, int]]] = None, relevance_score_fn: Optional[Callable[[float], float]] = None, key_prefix: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs: Any)[source]¶

Redis vector database.

To use, you should have the redis python package installed and have a running Redis Enterprise or Redis-Stack server

For production use cases, it is recommended to use Redis Enterprise as the scaling, performance, stability and availability is much better than Redis-Stack.

For testing and prototyping, however, this is not required. Redis-Stack is available as a docker container the full vector search API available.

# to run redis stack in docker locally
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -p 8001:8001 redis/redis-stack:latest

Once running, you can connect to the redis server with the following url schemas: - redis://<host>:<port> # simple connection - redis://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port> # connection with authentication - rediss://<host>:<port> # connection with SSL - rediss://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port> # connection with SSL and auth

Examples:

The following examples show various ways to use the Redis VectorStore with LangChain.

For all the following examples assume we have the following imports:

from langchain_community.vectorstores import Redis
from langchain_community.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
Initialize, create index, and load Documents
from langchain_community.vectorstores import Redis
from langchain_community.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings

rds = Redis.from_documents(
    documents, # a list of Document objects from loaders or created
    embeddings, # an Embeddings object
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
)
Initialize, create index, and load Documents with metadata
rds = Redis.from_texts(
    texts, # a list of strings
    metadata, # a list of metadata dicts
    embeddings, # an Embeddings object
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
)

Initialize, create index, and load Documents with metadata and return keys

rds, keys = Redis.from_texts_return_keys(
    texts, # a list of strings
    metadata, # a list of metadata dicts
    embeddings, # an Embeddings object
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
)

For use cases where the index needs to stay alive, you can initialize with an index name such that it’s easier to reference later

rds = Redis.from_texts(
    texts, # a list of strings
    metadata, # a list of metadata dicts
    embeddings, # an Embeddings object
    index_name="my-index",
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
)

Initialize and connect to an existing index (from above)

# must pass in schema and key_prefix from another index
existing_rds = Redis.from_existing_index(
    embeddings, # an Embeddings object
    index_name="my-index",
    schema=rds.schema, # schema dumped from another index
    key_prefix=rds.key_prefix, # key prefix from another index
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
)

Advanced examples:

Custom vector schema can be supplied to change the way that Redis creates the underlying vector schema. This is useful for production use cases where you want to optimize the vector schema for your use case. ex. using HNSW instead of FLAT (knn) which is the default

vector_schema = {
    "algorithm": "HNSW"
}

rds = Redis.from_texts(
    texts, # a list of strings
    metadata, # a list of metadata dicts
    embeddings, # an Embeddings object
    vector_schema=vector_schema,
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
)

Custom index schema can be supplied to change the way that the metadata is indexed. This is useful for you would like to use the hybrid querying (filtering) capability of Redis.

By default, this implementation will automatically generate the index schema according to the following rules:

  • All strings are indexed as text fields

  • All numbers are indexed as numeric fields

  • All lists of strings are indexed as tag fields (joined by

    langchain_community.vectorstores.redis.constants.REDIS_TAG_SEPARATOR)

  • All None values are not indexed but still stored in Redis these are

    not retrievable through the interface here, but the raw Redis client can be used to retrieve them.

  • All other types are not indexed

To override these rules, you can pass in a custom index schema like the following

tag:
    - name: credit_score
text:
    - name: user
    - name: job

Typically, the credit_score field would be a text field since it’s a string, however, we can override this behavior by specifying the field type as shown with the yaml config (can also be a dictionary) above and the code below.

rds = Redis.from_texts(
    texts, # a list of strings
    metadata, # a list of metadata dicts
    embeddings, # an Embeddings object
    index_schema="path/to/index_schema.yaml", # can also be a dictionary
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
)

When connecting to an existing index where a custom schema has been applied, it’s important to pass in the same schema to the from_existing_index method. Otherwise, the schema for newly added samples will be incorrect and metadata will not be returned.

Create a Redis vectorstore from a list of texts.

This is a user-friendly interface that:

  1. Embeds documents.

  2. Creates a new Redis index if it doesn’t already exist

  3. Adds the documents to the newly created Redis index.

This method will generate schema based on the metadata passed in if the index_schema is not defined. If the index_schema is defined, it will compare against the generated schema and warn if there are differences. If you are purposefully defining the schema for the metadata, then you can ignore that warning.

To examine the schema options, initialize an instance of this class and print out the schema using the Redis.schema` property. This will include the content and content_vector classes which are always present in the langchain schema.

  • distance_threshold (Optional[float], optional) – Maximum vector distance between selected documents and the query vector. Defaults to None.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

A list of documents that are most similar to the query

text.

Return type

similarity_search_by_vector(embedding: List[float], k: int = 4, filter: Optional[RedisFilterExpression] = None, return_metadata: bool = True, distance_threshold: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]¶

Run similarity search between a query vector and the indexed vectors.

Parameters

  • embedding (List[float]) – The query vector for which to find similar documents.

  • k (int) – The number of documents to return. Default is 4.

  • filter (RedisFilterExpression, optional) – Optional metadata filter. Defaults to None.

  • return_metadata (bool, optional) – Whether to return metadata. Defaults to True.

  • distance_threshold (Optional[float], optional) – Maximum vector distance between selected documents and the query vector. Defaults to None.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

A list of documents that are most similar to the query

text.

Return type

List[Document]

similarity_search_limit_score(query: str, k: int = 4, score_threshold: float = 0.2, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]¶

[Deprecated] Returns the most similar indexed documents to the query text within the score_threshold range.

Deprecated: Use similarity_search with distance_threshold instead.

Parameters

  • query (str) – The query text for which to find similar documents.

  • k (int) – The number of documents to return. Default is 4.

  • score_threshold (float) – The minimum matching distance required for a document to be considered a match. Defaults to 0.2.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

A list of documents that are most similar to the query text

including the match score for each document.

Return type

List[Document]

Note

If there are no documents that satisfy the score_threshold value, an empty list is returned.

Notes

Deprecated since version langchain-community==0.0.1: Use similarity_search(distance_threshold=0.1) instead.

similarity_search_with_relevance_scores(query: str, k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]]¶

Return docs and relevance scores in the range [0, 1].

0 is dissimilar, 1 is most similar.

Parameters

  • query (str) – input text

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

  • **kwargs (Any) –

    kwargs to be passed to similarity search. Should include: score_threshold: Optional, a floating point value between 0 to 1 to

    filter the resulting set of retrieved docs

Returns

List of Tuples of (doc, similarity_score)

Return type

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

similarity_search_with_score(query: str, k: int = 4, filter: Optional[RedisFilterExpression] = None, return_metadata: bool = True, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]][source]¶

Run similarity search with vector distance.

The “scores” returned from this function are the raw vector distances from the query vector. For similarity scores, use similarity_search_with_relevance_scores.

Parameters

  • query (str) – The query text for which to find similar documents.

  • k (int) – The number of documents to return. Default is 4.

  • filter (RedisFilterExpression, optional) – Optional metadata filter. Defaults to None.

  • return_metadata (bool, optional) – Whether to return metadata. Defaults to True.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns

A list of documents that are

most similar to the query with the distance for each document.

Return type

List[Tuple[Document, float]]

write_schema(path: Union[str, PathLike]) → None[source]¶

Write the schema to a yaml file.

Parameters

path (Union[str, PathLike]) –

Return type

None
