Redis

Redis is an open-source key-value store that can be used as a cache, message broker, database, vector database and more.

In the notebook, we'll demo the SelfQueryRetriever wrapped around a Redis vector store.

Creating a Redis vector store

First we'll want to create a Redis vector store and seed it with some data. We've created a small demo set of documents that contain summaries of movies.

Note: The self-query retriever requires you to have lark installed (pip install lark) along with integration-specific requirements.

%pip install --upgrade --quiet  redis redisvl langchain-openai tiktoken lark

We want to use OpenAIEmbeddings so we have to get the OpenAI API Key.

import getpass
import os

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("OpenAI API Key:")
from langchain_community.vectorstores import Redis
from langchain_core.documents import Document
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings

embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
API Reference:Redis | Document | OpenAIEmbeddings
docs = [
Document(
page_content="A bunch of scientists bring back dinosaurs and mayhem breaks loose",
metadata={
"year": 1993,
"rating": 7.7,
"director": "Steven Spielberg",
"genre": "science fiction",
},
),

index_schema = {

}

vectorstore = Redis.from_documents(
docs,
embeddings,
redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
index_name="movie_reviews",
index_schema=index_schema,
)
`index_schema` does not match generated metadata schema.
If you meant to manually override the schema, please ignore this message.
index_schema: {'tag': [{'name': 'genre'}], 'text': [{'name': 'director'}], 'numeric': [{'name': 'year'}, {'name': 'rating'}]}
generated_schema: {'text': [{'name': 'director'}, {'name': 'genre'}], 'numeric': [{'name': 'year'}, {'name': 'rating'}], 'tag': []}

Creating our self-querying retriever

Now we can instantiate our retriever. To do this we'll need to provide some information upfront about the metadata fields that our documents support and a short description of the document contents.

from langchain.chains.query_constructor.base import AttributeInfo
from langchain.retrievers.self_query.base import SelfQueryRetriever
from langchain_openai import OpenAI

metadata_field_info = [
AttributeInfo(
name="genre",
description="The genre of the movie",
type="string or list[string]",
),
AttributeInfo(
name="year",
description="The year the movie was released",
type="integer",
),
AttributeInfo(
name="director",
description="The name of the movie director",
type="string",
),
AttributeInfo(
name="rating", description="A 1-10 rating for the movie", type="float"
),
]
document_content_description = "Brief summary of a movie"
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
retriever = SelfQueryRetriever.from_llm(
llm, vectorstore, document_content_description, metadata_field_info, verbose=True
)

Testing it out

And now we can try actually using our retriever!

Filter k

We can also use the self query retriever to specify k: the number of documents to fetch.

We can do this by passing enable_limit=True to the constructor.

retriever = SelfQueryRetriever.from_llm(
llm,
vectorstore,
document_content_description,
metadata_field_info,
enable_limit=True,
verbose=True,
)
# This example only specifies a relevant query
retriever.invoke("what are two movies about dinosaurs")
query='dinosaur' filter=None limit=2
[Document(page_content='A bunch of scientists bring back dinosaurs and mayhem breaks loose', metadata={'id': 'doc:movie_reviews:7b5481d753bc4135851b66fa61def7fb', 'director': 'Steven Spielberg', 'genre': 'science fiction', 'year': '1993', 'rating': '7.7'}),
Document(page_content='Toys come alive and have a blast doing so', metadata={'id': 'doc:movie_reviews:9e4e84daa0374941a6aa4274e9bbb607', 'director': 'John Lasseter', 'genre': 'animated', 'year': '1995', 'rating': '9.1'})]
