cocoindex 0.1.83

With CocoIndex, users declare the transformation, CocoIndex creates & maintains an index, and keeps the derived index up to date based on source update, with minimal computation and changes.

Data transformation for AI

Ultra performant data transformation framework for AI, with core engine written in Rust. Support incremental processing and data lineage out-of-box. Exceptional developer velocity. Production-ready at day 0.

CocoIndex makes it effortless to transform data with AI, and keep source data and target in sync. Whether you’re building a vector index for RAG, creating knowledge graphs, or performing any custom data transformations — goes beyond SQL.

Exceptional velocity

Just declare transformation in dataflow with ~100 lines of python

# import
data['content'] = flow_builder.add_source(...)

# transform
data['out'] = data['content']
    .transform(...)
    .transform(...)

# collect data
collector.collect(...)

# export to db, vector db, graph db ...
collector.export(...)

CocoIndex follows the idea of Dataflow programming model. Each transformation creates a new field solely based on input fields, without hidden states and value mutation. All data before/after each transformation is observable, with lineage out of the box.

Particularly, developers don't explicitly mutate data by creating, updating and deleting. They just need to define transformation/formula for a set of source data.

Plug-and-Play Building Blocks

Native builtins for different source, targets and transformations. Standardize interface, make it 1-line code switch between different components - as easy as assembling building blocks.

Data Freshness

CocoIndex keep source data and target in sync effortlessly.

It has out-of-box support for incremental indexing:

• minimal recomputation on source or logic change.
• (re-)processing necessary portions; reuse cache when possible

Setup

1. Install CocoIndex Python library

pip install -U cocoindex

2. Install Postgres if you don't have one. CocoIndex uses it for incremental processing.

Define data flow

Follow Quick Start Guide to define your first indexing flow. An example flow looks like:

@cocoindex.flow_def(name="TextEmbedding")
def text_embedding_flow(flow_builder: cocoindex.FlowBuilder, data_scope: cocoindex.DataScope):
    # Add a data source to read files from a directory
    data_scope["documents"] = flow_builder.add_source(cocoindex.sources.LocalFile(path="markdown_files"))

    # Add a collector for data to be exported to the vector index
    doc_embeddings = data_scope.add_collector()

    # Transform data of each document
    with data_scope["documents"].row() as doc:
        # Split the document into chunks, put into `chunks` field
        doc["chunks"] = doc["content"].transform(
            cocoindex.functions.SplitRecursively(),
            language="markdown", chunk_size=2000, chunk_overlap=500)

        # Transform data of each chunk
        with doc["chunks"].row() as chunk:
            # Embed the chunk, put into `embedding` field
            chunk["embedding"] = chunk["text"].transform(
                cocoindex.functions.SentenceTransformerEmbed(
                    model="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"))

            # Collect the chunk into the collector.
            doc_embeddings.collect(filename=doc["filename"], location=chunk["location"],
                                   text=chunk["text"], embedding=chunk["embedding"])

    # Export collected data to a vector index.
    doc_embeddings.export(
        "doc_embeddings",
        cocoindex.targets.Postgres(),
        primary_key_fields=["filename", "location"],
        vector_indexes=[
            cocoindex.VectorIndexDef(
                field_name="embedding",
                metric=cocoindex.VectorSimilarityMetric.COSINE_SIMILARITY)])

It defines an index flow like this:
