donkit-retriever 0.1.6

Unified retrieval module for RAG system with multiple vector database support

Retriever

Unified retrieval module for RAG system with support for multiple vector databases.

Features

• Multiple vector database backends: Qdrant, ChromaDB, Milvus
• Filename search: Separate collection for efficient filename-based search
• Context enrichment: Fetch neighboring chunks for better context
• Category filtering: Filter results by accessible categories
• Unified interface: Single API for all vector stores

Installation

poetry add donkit-retriever

Usage

Basic Setup

from donkit.retriever import create_vectorstore_service, RetrievalConfig
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings

# Configure retrieval options
config = RetrievalConfig(
    vector_database="qdrant",
    retriever_options={
        "filename_search": True,
        "partial_search": True,
        "max_retrieved_docs": 10,
    }
)

# Create service
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
service = create_vectorstore_service(
    db_type="qdrant",
    embeddings=embeddings,
    config=config,
    collection_name="my_collection",
    database_uri="http://localhost:6333",
)

# Search documents
documents = await service.search_documents(
    query="What is RAG?",
    k=5
)

Supported Vector Databases

Qdrant

service = create_vectorstore_service(
    db_type="qdrant",
    embeddings=embeddings,
    config=config,
    database_uri="http://localhost:6333",
)

ChromaDB

service = create_vectorstore_service(
    db_type="chroma",
    embeddings=embeddings,
    config=config,
    database_uri="http://localhost:8000",
)

Milvus

service = create_vectorstore_service(
    db_type="milvus",
    embeddings=embeddings,
    config=config,
    database_uri="http://localhost:19530",
)

Configuration Options

from donkit.retriever import RetrievalConfig, RetrieverOptions

config = RetrievalConfig(
    vector_database="qdrant",  # qdrant | chroma | milvus
    retriever_options=RetrieverOptions(
        filename_search=True,  # Enable filename-based search
        partial_search=True,   # Fetch neighboring chunks
        max_retrieved_docs=10, # Max documents to retrieve
    ),
    ranker="http://ranker-service:8000",  # Optional reranker URL
)

Architecture

VectorstoreModule

Each database has its own module implementing VectorstoreModuleAbstract:

• QdrantVectorstoreModule
• ChromaVectorstoreModule
• MilvusVectorstoreModule

VectorstoreService

Orchestrates search operations:

1. Filename search (if enabled)
2. Vector search
3. Neighbor fetching (if partial_search enabled)
4. Document combination and deduplication
