docs2vecs 0.0.4

A library/cli that allows you to vectorize your data, enabling you to create RAG powered applications.

Overview

This tool, docs2vecs is a library/cli that allows you to vectorize your data, enabling you to create RAG powered applications.

For these applications, docs2vecs simplifies the entire process:

• Data ingestion: Use the indexer to run the data ingestion pipeline: data retrieval, chunking, embedding, and storing resulting vectors in a Vector DB.
• Build proof of concepts: docs2vecs allows you to quickly create a RAG prototype by using a local ChromaDB as vector store and a server mode to chat with your data.

The docs2vecs project is managed with uv.

Usage

You can use docs2vecs in three ways:

1. Install from PyPI
2. Install locally from source
3. Run from Docker/Podman image.

Install from PyPI

You can install docs2vecs from PyPI using pip:

pip install docs2vecs

or

pip install docs2vecs[all]

to install all the extra dependencies.

Run locally from source

gh repo clone AmadeusITGroup/docs2vecs
cd docs2vecs
uv run --directory src docs2vecs --help

Run from Docker image

export OCI_ENGINE=podman # or docker
export DOCS2VECS_VERSION=latest # or a specific version
${OCI_ENGINE}  run -it --rm \
    ghcr.io/amadeusitgroup/docs2vecs:latest \
    --help # or any other valid command that can be run with docs2vecs

Indexer sub-command

The indexer sub-command runs an indexer pipeline configured in a config file. This is usually used when you have a lot of data to vectorize and want to run it in a batch.

uv run --directory src docs2vecs indexer --help

usage: docs2vecs indexer [-h] --config CONFIG [--env ENV]
options:
--config CONFIG  Path to the YAML configuration file.
--env ENV        Environment file to load.

The indexer takes in input two arguments: a mandatory config file, and an optional environment file.

In the config file you'll need to define a list of skills, a skillset, and an indexer. Note that you may define plenty of skills, but only those enumerated in the skillset will be executed in sequence.

Example:

uv run --directory src docs2vecs indexer --config ~/Downloads/sw_export_temp/config/confluence_process.yml --env ~/indexer.env

Please check the detailed skills documentation.

The config yaml file is validated against this schema.

Please check this sample config file.

Server sub-command

If you previously indexed your data (refer to the previous section) and stored the outputted embeddings in a local ChromaDB, you can chat with your data using the server sub-command.

uv run --directory src docs2vecs server --help

usage: docs2vecs server [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--model MODEL] [--cache_dir CACHE_DIR] [--path PATH]
                        [--workers WORKERS] [--log_level LOG_LEVEL] [--env ENV]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --host HOST           A host for the server.
  --port PORT           A port for the server.
  --model MODEL         A name of the embedding model(as per huggingface coordinates).
  --cache_dir CACHE_DIR
                        A path to the cache directory.
  --path PATH           A path for the server.
  --workers WORKERS     Number of workers for the server.
  --log_level LOG_LEVEL
                        Log level for the server.
  --env ENV             Environment file to load.

By default, the host is localhost and the port is 8008.

Example:

uv run --directory src docs2vecs server --path path/to/where/your/chroma/db/is

By then typing http://localhost:8008/ in your browser, you sould be able to see the embedding collections stored in your vector store and perform Knn search based on user query. You can modify the K number of nearest neighbours returned by the semantic search.

Integrated Vectorization sub-command

integrated_vec - Run an integrated vectorization pipeline configured in a config file.

uv run --directory src docs2vecs integrated_vec --help

usage: docs2vecs integrated_vec [-h] --config CONFIG [--env ENV]
options:
--config CONFIG  Path to the YAML configuration file.
--env ENV        Environment file to load.

Example:

uv run --directory src docs2vecs integrated_vec --config ~/Downloads/sw_export_temp/config/config.yaml --env ~/integrated_vec .env

The config yaml file is validated against this schema.

Config yml file sample:

---
integrated_vec:
    id: AzureAISearchIndexer
    skill:
        type: integrated_vec
        name: AzureAISearchIntegratedVectorization
        params:
            search_ai_api_key: env.AZURE_AI_SEARCH_API_KEY
            search_ai_endpoint: http://replace.me.with.your.endpoint
            embedding_endpoint: http://replace.me.with.your.endpoint
            index_name: your_index_name
            indexer_name: new_indexer_name
            skillset_name: new_skillset_name
            data_source_connection_string: ResourceId=/subscriptions/your_subscription_id/resourceGroups/resource_group_name/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/storage_account_name;
            data_source_connection_name: new_connection_name
            encryption_key: env.AZURE_AI_SEARCH_ENCRYPTION_KEY
            container_name: your_container_name

Important note:

Please note that api keys should NOT be stored in config files, and should NOT be added to git. Therefore, if you build your config file, use the env. prefix for api_key parameter. For example: api_key: env.AZURE_AI_SEARCH_API_KEY.

Make sure you export the environment variables before you run the indexer. For convenience you can use the --env argument to supply your own .env file.

Experimental features

Tracker

Tracker

The tracker feature allows you to monitor and manage the status of documents processed by the indexer. This is particularly useful for tracking failed documents and retrying their processing.

To achieve this, the tracker needs a MongoDB connection, which can be defined in the input config file.

The way it works is that each document in MongoDB has a chunk part having a document_id. This document_id is actually the hash of the content for that chunk. So, as long as the content is the same, the hash will stay the same. Besides this, there is a status property that keeps track whether the upload to vector store was successful or not.

If you'd like to use a different database to keep track of this, you'll have to write your own "driver" similar to the existing mongodb. Then you need to add it to the DBFactory.

Development

To run tests with pytest:

uv python install 3.11
uv sync --all-extras --dev
uv run pytest tests

It is also possible to use tox::

uv pip install tox
uv run tox

Note, to combine the coverage data from all the tox environments run:

OS	Command
Windows	set PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append tox
Other	PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append tox

Releasing

To release a new version of the package, you can create a pre-release from the main branch using GitHub UI, which will then trigger the release workflow. Alternatively, you can use the gh command line tool to create a release:

gh release create v[a.b.c] --prerelease --title "Kick starting the release"  --target main
