Timescale Vector (Postgres)

Timescale Vector 是用于AI应用的PostgreSQL++号向量数据库。

该笔记本展示了如何使用 Postgres 向量数据库 Timescale Vector。您将学习如何使用 TimescaleVector 实现 (1) 语义搜索,(2) 基于时间的向量搜索,(3) 自查询,以及 (4) 如何创建索引来加快查询速度。

什么是 Timescale Vector?

Timescale Vector 使您能够高效地在 PostgreSQL 中存储和查询数百万个向量嵌入。

  • 通过受 DiskANN 启发的索引算法,为 1 亿以上的向量提供更快、更准确的相似性搜索,从而增强 pgvector
  • 通过自动按时间分区和索引,实现快速的基于时间的向量搜索。
  • 提供熟悉的 SQL 接口,用于查询向量嵌入和关系数据。

Timescale Vector 是面向 AI 的云 PostgreSQL,可随您从概念验证扩展到生产:

  • 通过在单个数据库中存储关系元数据、向量嵌入和时序数据,简化了操作。
  • 得益于坚实可靠的 PostgreSQL 基础,具备流式备份与复制、高可用性以及行级安全等企业级功能。
  • 提供企业级安全性和合规性,实现无忧体验。

如何访问 Timescale Vector

Timescale Vector 可在 Timescale 上使用,这是一个云 PostgreSQL 平台。(目前尚无自托管版本。)

LangChain 用户可获得 Timescale Vector 的 90 天免费试用。

  • 开始之前,请注册 Timescale,创建一个新数据库,并按照此笔记本操作!
  • 有关更多详细信息和性能基准,请参阅 Timescale Vector 解析博客
  • 有关在 Python 中使用 Timescale Vector 的更多详细信息,请参阅安装说明

设置

按照以下步骤准备,以便开始本教程。

# Pip install necessary packages
%pip install --upgrade --quiet timescale-vector
%pip install --upgrade --quiet langchain-openai langchain-community
%pip install --upgrade --quiet tiktoken

在这个示例中,我们将使用 OpenAIEmbeddings,因此让我们加载您的 OpenAI API 密钥。

import os

# Run export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY...
# Get openAI api key by reading local .env file
from dotenv import find_dotenv, load_dotenv

_ = load_dotenv(find_dotenv())
OPENAI_API_KEY = os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]
# Get the API key and save it as an environment variable
# import os
# import getpass
# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("OpenAI API Key:")

from typing import Tuple

接下来,我们将导入所需的 Python 库以及 LangChain 中的库。请注意,我们同时导入了 timescale-vector 库和 TimescaleVector LangChain 向量存储。

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

from langchain_community.document_loaders import TextLoader
from langchain_community.document_loaders.json_loader import JSONLoader
from langchain_community.vectorstores.timescalevector import TimescaleVector
from langchain_core.documents import Document
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain_text_splitters import CharacterTextSplitter

1. 使用欧几里得距离的相似性搜索(默认)

首先,我们将查看一个在《国情咨文》演讲文本上进行相似性搜索查询的示例,以找到与给定查询句子最相似的句子。我们将使用欧几里得距离作为我们的相似性度量标准。

# Load the text and split it into chunks
loader = TextLoader("../../../extras/modules/state_of_the_union.txt")
documents = loader.load()
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
docs = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)

embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()

接下来,我们将加载用于我们 Timescale 数据库的服务 URL。

如果您还没有,请注册 Timescale,并创建一个新的数据库。

然后,要连接到您的PostgreSQL数据库,您需要在创建新数据库后下载的备忘单或.env文件中找到您的服务URI。

URI 看起来会像这样:postgres://tsdbadmin:<password>@<id>.tsdb.cloud.timescale.com:<port>/tsdb?sslmode=require

# Timescale Vector needs the service url to your cloud database. You can see this as soon as you create the
# service in the cloud UI or in your credentials.sql file
SERVICE_URL = os.environ["TIMESCALE_SERVICE_URL"]

# Specify directly if testing
# SERVICE_URL = "postgres://tsdbadmin:<password>@<id>.tsdb.cloud.timescale.com:<port>/tsdb?sslmode=require"

# # You can get also it from an environment variables. We suggest using a .env file.
# import os
# SERVICE_URL = os.environ.get("TIMESCALE_SERVICE_URL", "")

接下来我们创建一个 TimescaleVector 向量存储。我们指定一个集合名称,这将作为存储我们数据的表的名称。

注意:创建 TimescaleVector 的新实例时,TimescaleVector 模块将尝试创建一个以集合名称命名的表。因此,请确保集合名称是唯一的(即该名称尚不存在)。

# The TimescaleVector Module will create a table with the name of the collection.
COLLECTION_NAME = "state_of_the_union_test"

# Create a Timescale Vector instance from the collection of documents
db = TimescaleVector.from_documents(
embedding=embeddings,
documents=docs,
collection_name=COLLECTION_NAME,
service_url=SERVICE_URL,
)

现在我们已经加载了数据,可以执行相似性搜索。

query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
docs_with_score = db.similarity_search_with_score(query)
for doc, score in docs_with_score:
print("-" * 80)
print("Score: ", score)
print(doc.page_content)
print("-" * 80)

使用 Timescale 向量作为检索器

初始化 TimescaleVector 存储后,你可以将其用作 检索器

# Use TimescaleVector as a retriever
retriever = db.as_retriever()
print(retriever)
tags=['TimescaleVector', 'OpenAIEmbeddings'] metadata=None vectorstore=<langchain_community.vectorstores.timescalevector.TimescaleVector object at 0x10fc8d070> search_type='similarity' search_kwargs={}

让我们来看一个使用 Timescale Vector 作为检索器,并结合 RetrievalQA 链和 stuff 文档链的示例。

在本示例中,我们将提出与上述相同的问题,但这一次,我们会将从 Timescale Vector 返回的相关文档作为上下文传递给大语言模型(LLM),以帮助其回答问题。

首先,我们将创建我们的stuff链:

# Initialize GPT3.5 model
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0.1, model="gpt-3.5-turbo-16k")

# Initialize a RetrievalQA class from a stuff chain
from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA

qa_stuff = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(
llm=llm,
chain_type="stuff",
retriever=retriever,
verbose=True,
)
query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson?"
response = qa_stuff.run(query)


> Entering new RetrievalQA chain...

> Finished chain.
print(response)
The President said that he nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is one of our nation's top legal minds and will continue Justice Breyer's legacy of excellence. He also mentioned that since her nomination, she has received a broad range of support from various groups, including the Fraternal Order of Police and former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.

2. 基于时间过滤的相似性搜索

Timescale Vector 的一个关键用例是高效的时间向量搜索。Timescale Vector 通过按时间自动对向量(及相关元数据)进行分区来实现这一点。这使得您能够根据与查询向量的相似性以及时间,高效地查询向量。

基于时间的向量搜索功能对以下类型的应用非常有帮助:

  • 存储和检索LLM响应历史(例如聊天机器人)
  • 查找与查询向量相似的最新嵌入(例如最近的新闻)。
  • 将相似性搜索限制在相关的时间范围内(例如,针对知识库提出基于时间的问题)

为了说明如何使用 TimescaleVector 的基于时间的向量搜索功能,我们将针对 TimescaleDB 的 git 日志历史记录提出问题。我们将演示如何添加带有基于时间的 uuid 的文档,以及如何运行带时间范围过滤器的相似性搜索。

从 git log JSON 中提取内容和元数据

首先,让我们将 git log 数据加载到名为 timescale_commits 的 PostgreSQL 数据库的新集合中。

我们将定义一个辅助函数,用于根据文档及其相关向量嵌入的时间戳创建唯一标识符(uuid)。我们将使用此函数为每个 git 日志条目创建一个 uuid。

重要提示:如果您正在处理文档,并且希望将当前日期和时间与基于时间的搜索关联到向量中,可以跳过此步骤。默认情况下,当文档被摄入时会自动生成一个 uuid。

from timescale_vector import client


# Function to take in a date string in the past and return a uuid v1
def create_uuid(date_string: str):
if date_string is None:
return None
time_format = "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y %z"
datetime_obj = datetime.strptime(date_string, time_format)
uuid = client.uuid_from_time(datetime_obj)
return str(uuid)

接下来,我们将定义一个元数据函数,用于从JSON记录中提取相关元数据。我们将把这个函数传递给JSONLoader。更多详细信息,请参见JSON文档加载器文档

# Helper function to split name and email given an author string consisting of Name Lastname <email>
def split_name(input_string: str) -> Tuple[str, str]:
if input_string is None:
return None, None
start = input_string.find("<")
end = input_string.find(">")
name = input_string[:start].strip()
email = input_string[start + 1 : end].strip()
return name, email


# Helper function to transform a date string into a timestamp_tz string
def create_date(input_string: str) -> datetime:
if input_string is None:
return None
# Define a dictionary to map month abbreviations to their numerical equivalents
month_dict = {
"Jan": "01",
"Feb": "02",
"Mar": "03",
"Apr": "04",
"May": "05",
"Jun": "06",
"Jul": "07",
"Aug": "08",
"Sep": "09",
"Oct": "10",
"Nov": "11",
"Dec": "12",
}

# Split the input string into its components
components = input_string.split()
# Extract relevant information
day = components[2]
month = month_dict[components[1]]
year = components[4]
time = components[3]
timezone_offset_minutes = int(components[5]) # Convert the offset to minutes
timezone_hours = timezone_offset_minutes // 60 # Calculate the hours
timezone_minutes = timezone_offset_minutes % 60 # Calculate the remaining minutes
# Create a formatted string for the timestamptz in PostgreSQL format
timestamp_tz_str = (
f"{year}-{month}-{day} {time}+{timezone_hours:02}{timezone_minutes:02}"
)
return timestamp_tz_str


# Metadata extraction function to extract metadata from a JSON record
def extract_metadata(record: dict, metadata: dict) -> dict:
record_name, record_email = split_name(record["author"])
metadata["id"] = create_uuid(record["date"])
metadata["date"] = create_date(record["date"])
metadata["author_name"] = record_name
metadata["author_email"] = record_email
metadata["commit_hash"] = record["commit"]
return metadata

接下来,你需要下载示例数据集并将其放在与此笔记本相同的目录中。

您可以使用以下命令:

# Download the file using curl and save it as commit_history.csv
# Note: Execute this command in your terminal, in the same directory as the notebook
!curl -O https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.timescale.com/ai/ts_git_log.json

最后,我们可以初始化 JSON 加载器来解析 JSON 记录。为简便起见,我们还会移除空记录。

# Define path to the JSON file relative to this notebook
# Change this to the path to your JSON file
FILE_PATH = "../../../../../ts_git_log.json"

# Load data from JSON file and extract metadata
loader = JSONLoader(
file_path=FILE_PATH,
jq_schema=".commit_history[]",
text_content=False,
metadata_func=extract_metadata,
)
documents = loader.load()

# Remove documents with None dates
documents = [doc for doc in documents if doc.metadata["date"] is not None]
print(documents[0])
page_content='{"commit": "44e41c12ab25e36c202f58e068ced262eadc8d16", "author": "Lakshmi Narayanan Sreethar<lakshmi@timescale.com>", "date": "Tue Sep 5 21:03:21 2023 +0530", "change summary": "Fix segfault in set_integer_now_func", "change details": "When an invalid function oid is passed to set_integer_now_func, it finds out that the function oid is invalid but before throwing the error, it calls ReleaseSysCache on an invalid tuple causing a segfault.

Fixes #6037 "}' metadata={'source': '/Users/avtharsewrathan/sideprojects2023/timescaleai/tsv-langchain/ts_git_log.json', 'seq_num': 1, 'id': '8b407680-4c01-11ee-96a6-b82284ddccc6', 'date': '2023-09-5 21:03:21+0850', 'author_name': 'Lakshmi Narayanan Sreethar', 'author_email': 'lakshmi@timescale.com', 'commit_hash': '44e41c12ab25e36c202f58e068ced262eadc8d16'}

将文档和元数据加载到 TimescaleVector 向量数据库中

现在我们已经准备好了文档,接下来将对它们进行处理,并将其以及对应的向量嵌入表示加载到我们的 TimescaleVector 向量数据库中。

由于这是一个演示,我们将仅加载前500条记录。在实际应用中,您可以根据需要加载任意数量的记录。

NUM_RECORDS = 500
documents = documents[:NUM_RECORDS]

然后我们使用 CharacterTextSplitter 将文档拆分为更小的片段,以便于嵌入。请注意,此拆分过程会保留每个文档的元数据。

# Split the documents into chunks for embedding
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(
chunk_size=1000,
chunk_overlap=200,
)
docs = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)

接下来,我们将从已完成预处理的文档集合中创建一个 Timescale Vector 实例。

首先,我们将定义一个集合名称,它将成为我们 PostgreSQL 数据库中表的名称。

我们还将定义一个时间间隔(time delta),并将其传递给 time_partition_interval 参数,该参数将用作按时间对数据进行分区的时间间隔。每个分区将包含指定时长内的数据。为简便起见,我们将使用7天,但你可以根据你的具体使用场景选择任何合适的值——例如,如果你频繁查询近期的向量,你可能希望使用更小的时间间隔(如1天);而如果你查询的是长达十年时间范围内的向量,则可能需要使用更大的时间间隔(如6个月或1年)。

最后,我们将创建 TimescaleVector 实例。我们将 ids 参数指定为上面预处理步骤中创建的元数据中的 uuid 字段。我们这样做是因为希望我们的 UUID 中的时间部分反映过去的日期(即提交更改的时间)。但是,如果我们希望将当前日期和时间与文档关联,则可以移除 id 参数,UUID 将自动使用当前日期和时间生成。

# Define collection name
COLLECTION_NAME = "timescale_commits"
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()

# Create a Timescale Vector instance from the collection of documents
db = TimescaleVector.from_documents(
embedding=embeddings,
ids=[doc.metadata["id"] for doc in docs],
documents=docs,
collection_name=COLLECTION_NAME,
service_url=SERVICE_URL,
time_partition_interval=timedelta(days=7),
)

按时间和相似性查询向量

现在我们已经将文档加载到 TimescaleVector 中,可以通过时间和相似性来查询它们。

TimescaleVector 提供了多种通过基于时间的过滤进行相似性搜索来查询向量的方法。

让我们来看一下下面的每种方法:

# Time filter variables
start_dt = datetime(2023, 8, 1, 22, 10, 35) # Start date = 1 August 2023, 22:10:35
end_dt = datetime(2023, 8, 30, 22, 10, 35) # End date = 30 August 2023, 22:10:35
td = timedelta(days=7) # Time delta = 7 days

query = "What's new with TimescaleDB functions?"

方法1:在指定的开始日期和结束日期范围内进行筛选。

# Method 1: Query for vectors between start_date and end_date
docs_with_score = db.similarity_search_with_score(
query, start_date=start_dt, end_date=end_dt
)

for doc, score in docs_with_score:
print("-" * 80)
print("Score: ", score)
print("Date: ", doc.metadata["date"])
print(doc.page_content)
print("-" * 80)

主要结论是,在上述每个结果中,仅返回指定时间范围内的向量。这些查询非常高效,因为它们只需搜索相关的分区。

我们还可以将此功能用于问答,其中我们希望在指定的时间范围内找到最相关的向量,用作回答问题的上下文。让我们看下面的一个示例,使用 Timescale Vector 作为检索器:

# Set timescale vector as a retriever and specify start and end dates via kwargs
retriever = db.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"start_date": start_dt, "end_date": end_dt})
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0.1, model="gpt-3.5-turbo-16k")

from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA

qa_stuff = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(
llm=llm,
chain_type="stuff",
retriever=retriever,
verbose=True,
)

query = (
"What's new with the timescaledb functions? Tell me when these changes were made."
)
response = qa_stuff.run(query)
print(response)


> Entering new RetrievalQA chain...

> Finished chain.
The following changes were made to the timescaledb functions:

1. "Add compatibility layer for _timescaledb_internal functions" - This change was made on Tue Aug 29 18:13:24 2023 +0200.
2. "Move functions to _timescaledb_functions schema" - This change was made on Sun Aug 20 22:47:10 2023 +0200.
3. "Move utility functions to _timescaledb_functions schema" - This change was made on Tue Aug 22 12:01:19 2023 +0200.
4. "Move partitioning functions to _timescaledb_functions schema" - This change was made on Tue Aug 29 10:49:47 2023 +0200.

请注意,LLM 用来生成回答的上下文仅来自指定日期范围内检索到的文档。

这展示了如何使用 Timescale Vector 通过检索与您的查询相关的时间范围内的文档,来增强检索增强生成(retrieval augmented generation)。

3. 使用ANN搜索索引来加快查询速度

您可以通过在嵌入列上创建索引来加快相似性查询的速度。只有在已摄入大部分数据后,才应执行此操作。

Timescale Vector 支持以下索引:

  • timescale_vector 索引 (tsv):一种受 disk-ann 启发的图索引,用于快速相似性搜索(默认)。
  • pgvector的HNSW索引:一种用于快速相似性搜索的分层可导航小世界图索引。
  • pgvector的IVFFLAT索引:一种用于快速相似性搜索的倒排文件索引。

重要提示:在PostgreSQL中,每个表的特定列上只能有一个索引。因此,如果您希望测试不同类型索引的性能,可以通过以下方式实现:(1) 创建具有不同索引的多个表,(2) 在同一表中创建多个向量列,并在每列上创建不同类型的索引,或 (3) 删除并在同一列上重新创建索引以比较结果。

# Initialize an existing TimescaleVector store
COLLECTION_NAME = "timescale_commits"
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
db = TimescaleVector(
collection_name=COLLECTION_NAME,
service_url=SERVICE_URL,
embedding_function=embeddings,
)

使用 create_index() 函数且不提供额外参数时,默认会使用默认参数创建一个 timescale_vector_index。

# create an index
# by default this will create a Timescale Vector (DiskANN) index
db.create_index()

您还可以指定索引的参数。有关不同参数及其对性能影响的完整讨论,请参阅 Timescale Vector 文档。

注意:您无需指定参数,因为我们已设置智能默认值。但如果您希望针对特定数据集进行实验以获得更优性能,也可以随时自行指定参数。

# drop the old index
db.drop_index()

# create an index
# Note: You don't need to specify m and ef_construction parameters as we set smart defaults.
db.create_index(index_type="tsv", max_alpha=1.0, num_neighbors=50)

Timescale Vector 还支持 HNSW ANN 索引算法以及 ivfflat ANN 索引算法。只需在 index_type 参数中指定您想要创建的索引类型,并可选择性地指定索引的参数。

# drop the old index
db.drop_index()

# Create an HNSW index
# Note: You don't need to specify m and ef_construction parameters as we set smart defaults.
db.create_index(index_type="hnsw", m=16, ef_construction=64)
# drop the old index
db.drop_index()

# Create an IVFFLAT index
# Note: You don't need to specify num_lists and num_records parameters as we set smart defaults.
db.create_index(index_type="ivfflat", num_lists=20, num_records=1000)

通常,我们建议使用默认的 timescale 向量索引或 HNSW 索引。

# drop the old index
db.drop_index()
# Create a new timescale vector index
db.create_index()

4. 使用 Timescale Vector 的自查询检索器

Timescale Vector 还支持自查询检索器功能,使其能够自行查询。给定一个包含查询语句和过滤器(单个或复合)的自然语言查询时,该检索器会使用查询构建的LLM链来编写SQL查询,然后将其应用于 Timescale Vector 向量存储中的底层 PostgreSQL 数据库。

有关自查询的更多信息,请参阅文档

为了说明使用 Timescale Vector 的自查询功能,我们将采用第三部分中的相同 gitlog 数据集。

COLLECTION_NAME = "timescale_commits"
vectorstore = TimescaleVector(
embedding_function=OpenAIEmbeddings(),
collection_name=COLLECTION_NAME,
service_url=SERVICE_URL,
)

接下来,我们将创建自查询检索器。为此,我们需要提前提供一些关于文档支持的元数据字段的信息,以及文档内容的简短描述。

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

# Give LLM info about the metadata fields
metadata_field_info = [
AttributeInfo(
name="id",
description="A UUID v1 generated from the date of the commit",
type="uuid",
),
AttributeInfo(
name="date",
description="The date of the commit in timestamptz format",
type="timestamptz",
),
AttributeInfo(
name="author_name",
description="The name of the author of the commit",
type="string",
),
AttributeInfo(
name="author_email",
description="The email address of the author of the commit",
type="string",
),
]
document_content_description = "The git log commit summary containing the commit hash, author, date of commit, change summary and change details"

# Instantiate the self-query retriever from an LLM
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
retriever = SelfQueryRetriever.from_llm(
llm,
vectorstore,
document_content_description,
metadata_field_info,
enable_limit=True,
verbose=True,
)

现在让我们在 gitlog 数据集上测试自查询检索器。

运行以下查询,并注意如何用自然语言指定查询、带过滤条件的查询以及带复合过滤条件(包含 AND、OR 的过滤条件)的查询,自查询检索器会将这些查询自动转换为 SQL,并在 Timescale Vector PostgreSQL 向量数据库上执行搜索。

这展示了自查询检索器的强大功能。您可以使用它在向量存储上执行复杂的搜索,而您或您的用户无需直接编写任何SQL!

5. 使用现有的 TimescaleVector 向量存储

在上面的示例中,我们从一组文档创建了一个向量存储。然而,通常我们希望将数据插入到现有的向量存储中,并从中查询数据。让我们看看如何初始化、添加文档以及查询 TimescaleVector 向量存储中已有的文档集合。

要使用现有的 Timescale 向量存储,我们需要知道要查询的表的名称(COLLECTION_NAME)和云 PostgreSQL 数据库的 URL(SERVICE_URL)。

# Initialize the existing
COLLECTION_NAME = "timescale_commits"
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
vectorstore = TimescaleVector(
collection_name=COLLECTION_NAME,
service_url=SERVICE_URL,
embedding_function=embeddings,
)

要将新数据加载到表中,我们使用 add_document() 函数。该函数接收一个文档列表和一个元数据列表。元数据必须包含每个文档的唯一ID。

如果您希望文档与当前日期和时间相关联,则无需创建ID列表。每个文档将自动生成一个UUID。

如果您希望文档与过去的日期和时间相关联,可以使用上面第2节中所示的 uuid_from_time 函数在 timecale-vector Python 库中创建一个ID列表。此函数接收一个 datetime 对象,并返回一个在 UUID 中编码了日期和时间的 UUID。

# Add documents to a collection in TimescaleVector
ids = vectorstore.add_documents([Document(page_content="foo")])
ids
['a34f2b8a-53d7-11ee-8cc3-de1e4b2a0118']
# Query the vectorstore for similar documents
docs_with_score = vectorstore.similarity_search_with_score("foo")
docs_with_score[0]
(Document(page_content='foo', metadata={}), 5.006789860928507e-06)
docs_with_score[1]
(Document(page_content='{"commit": " 00b566dfe478c11134bcf1e7bcf38943e7fafe8f", "author": "Fabr\\u00edzio de Royes Mello<fabriziomello@gmail.com>", "date": "Mon Mar 6 15:51:03 2023 -0300", "change summary": "Remove unused functions", "change details": "We don\'t use `ts_catalog_delete[_only]` functions anywhere and instead we rely on `ts_catalog_delete_tid[_only]` functions so removing it from our code base.

0.23607668446580354)

删除数据

您可以通过 uuid 或元数据上的筛选条件来删除数据。

ids = vectorstore.add_documents([Document(page_content="Bar")])

vectorstore.delete(ids)
True

根据元数据删除信息在需要定期更新从特定来源、特定日期或其他元数据属性抓取的内容时特别有用。

vectorstore.add_documents(
[Document(page_content="Hello World", metadata={"source": "www.example.com/hello"})]
)
vectorstore.add_documents(
[Document(page_content="Adios", metadata={"source": "www.example.com/adios"})]
)

vectorstore.delete_by_metadata({"source": "www.example.com/adios"})

vectorstore.add_documents(
[
Document(
page_content="Adios, but newer!",
metadata={"source": "www.example.com/adios"},
)
]
)
['c6367004-53d7-11ee-8cc3-de1e4b2a0118']

覆盖向量存储

如果您有一个现有集合,可以通过执行 from_documents 并将 pre_delete_collection 设置为 True 来覆盖它

db = TimescaleVector.from_documents(
documents=docs,
embedding=embeddings,
collection_name=COLLECTION_NAME,
service_url=SERVICE_URL,
pre_delete_collection=True,
)
docs_with_score = db.similarity_search_with_score("foo")
docs_with_score[0]
