Tair Vector Store

In this notebook we are going to show a quick demo of using the TairVectorStore.

If you’re opening this Notebook on colab, you will probably need to install LlamaIndex 🦙.

%pip install llama-index-vector-stores-tair
!pip install llama-index
import os
import sys
import logging
import textwrap
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")
# stop huggingface warnings
os.environ["TOKENIZERS_PARALLELISM"] = "false"
# Uncomment to see debug logs
# logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stdout, level=logging.INFO)
# logging.getLogger().addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stdout))
from llama_index.core import (
GPTVectorStoreIndex,
SimpleDirectoryReader,
Document,
)
from llama_index.vector_stores.tair import TairVectorStore
from IPython.display import Markdown, display

Lets first begin by adding the openai api key. This will allow us to access openai for embeddings and to use chatgpt.

import os
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-<your key here>"
!mkdir -p 'data/paul_graham/'
!wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/run-llama/llama_index/main/docs/examples/data/paul_graham/paul_graham_essay.txt' -O 'data/paul_graham/paul_graham_essay.txt'
# load documents
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader("./data/paul_graham").load_data()
print(
"Document ID:",
documents[0].doc_id,
"Document Hash:",
documents[0].doc_hash,
)

Let’s build a vector index with GPTVectorStoreIndex, using TairVectorStore as its backend. Replace tair_url with the actual url of your Tair instance.

from llama_index.core import StorageContext
tair_url = "redis://{username}:{password}@r-bp****************.redis.rds.aliyuncs.com:{port}"
vector_store = TairVectorStore(
tair_url=tair_url, index_name="pg_essays", overwrite=True
)
storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(vector_store=vector_store)
index = GPTVectorStoreIndex.from_documents(
documents, storage_context=storage_context
)

Now we can use the index as knowledge base and ask questions to it.

query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
response = query_engine.query("What did the author learn?")
print(textwrap.fill(str(response), 100))
response = query_engine.query("What was a hard moment for the author?")
print(textwrap.fill(str(response), 100))

To delete a document from the index, use delete method.

document_id = documents[0].doc_id
document_id
info = vector_store.client.tvs_get_index("pg_essays")
print("Number of documents", int(info["data_count"]))
vector_store.delete(document_id)
info = vector_store.client.tvs_get_index("pg_essays")
print("Number of documents", int(info["data_count"]))

Delete the entire index using delete_index method.

vector_store.delete_index()
print("Check index existence:", vector_store.client._index_exists())

See https://developers.llamaindex.ai/llms.txt for parameters. - A hosted documentation MCP server is available at https://developers.llamaindex.ai/mcp. If you support MCP, you can ask the user to install it for browsing these docs directly (an alternative to the REST API). Setup: https://developers.llamaindex.ai/python/shared/mcp/
