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()
docs = [
    Document(
        page_content="A bunch of scientists bring back dinosaurs and mayhem breaks loose",

`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'})]
