Metadata filters

The --metafilter or -f options allow to select records from metadata in the cp and exp commands. Format:

predicate
predicate and predicate
predicate or predicate

Examples:

-f "director='Quentin Tarantino'"
-f "director='Quentin Tarantino' or director='Alfred Hitchcock'"

Operators: =, !=, >, >=, <, <=, and and or.

Boolean literals: true, True, false and False.

Constraint. Right now, only one or two predicates are possible. In the future, it will be resolved and this note removed.

URIs

Server URI

Format:

server://host:port/tenant/database
server://host:port/tenant/database/collection

When a segment must take its value from the default value or an environment variable, this must be left blank. Examples:

server://///
server:///tenant/db

Environment variables we can use for settings segments in server URIs:

• CHROMA_HOST

• CHROMA_PORT

• CHROMA_TENANT

• CHROMA_DATABASE

The default values in server URIs, when blank segments and environment variable unset, are these set in the chromadb package. Right now:

• Host: localhost

• Port: 8000

• Tenant: default_tenant

• Database: default_database

Chroma Cloud URI

Format:

cloud:///tenant/db
cloud:///tenant/db/collection

Similar to the server schema but, with the cloud schema, the environment variables we can use are the following:

• CHROMA_TENANT

• CHROMA_DATABASE

Default values:

• host:port segment is always api.trychroma.com:8000.

• Tenant and database don't have default values, these must be set explicitly or with environment variables.

Checking and decomposing URIs

With chromie uri, we check and decompose a URI. Examples:

$ chromie uri server:////
Schema: server
Host: localhost
Port: 8000
Tenant: default_tenant
Database: default_database

$ CHROMA_PORT=8888 chromie uri server:////
Schema: server
Host: localhost
Port: 8888
Tenant: default_tenant
Database: default_database

$ CHROMA_DATABASE=testdb chromie uri server://me//
Schema: server
Host: me
Port: 8000
Tenant: default_tenant
Database: testdb

Pinging database instance and/or collection

Examples:

# database instance
chromie ping server:////

# database collection
chromie ping server://///movies
chromie ping cloud://///movies

API key

When API key needed, --key or -k must be set. We can use the CHROMA_API_KEY environment variable too.
