kiarina-lib-falkordb 1.18.1

FalkorDB client library for kiarina namespace

kiarina-lib-falkordb

A Python client library for FalkorDB with configuration management and connection pooling.

Features

• Configuration Management: Flexible settings with pydantic-settings-manager
• Connection Pooling: Automatic caching and reuse
• Retry Support: Built-in retry mechanism for connection failures
• Sync & Async: Support for both synchronous and asynchronous operations
• Type Safety: Full type hints and Pydantic validation

Installation

pip install kiarina-lib-falkordb

Quick Start

Basic Usage

from kiarina.lib.falkordb import get_falkordb

# Get a FalkorDB client
db = get_falkordb()

# Run a query
graph = db.select_graph("social")
result = graph.query("CREATE (p:Person {name: 'Alice', age: 30}) RETURN p")
print(result.result_set)

# Connections are cached by default
db2 = get_falkordb()
assert db is db2

# Use different cache keys for separate connections
db3 = get_falkordb(cache_key="secondary")
assert db is not db3

Async Usage

from kiarina.lib.falkordb.asyncio import get_falkordb

async def main():
    db = get_falkordb()
    graph = db.select_graph("social")
    result = await graph.query("CREATE (p:Person {name: 'Bob', age: 25}) RETURN p")
    print(result.result_set)

Runtime Overrides

# Override settings at runtime
db = get_falkordb(
    url="falkor://custom-server:6379",
    use_retry=True
)

API Reference

get_falkordb()

Get a FalkorDB client with configuration management.

def get_falkordb(
    settings_key: str | None = None,
    *,
    cache_key: str | None = None,
    use_retry: bool | None = None,
    url: str | None = None,
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> FalkorDB

Parameters:

• settings_key: Configuration key to use (for multi-config setups)
• cache_key: Cache key for connection pooling (defaults to URL)
• use_retry: Override retry setting
• url: Override connection URL
• **kwargs: Additional parameters for FalkorDB client

Returns: FalkorDB client instance (cached)

Configuration

This library uses pydantic-settings-manager for configuration management.

YAML Configuration (Recommended)

# config.yaml
kiarina.lib.falkordb:
  development:
    url: "falkor://localhost:6379"
    use_retry: true
    retry_attempts: 3

  production:
    url: "falkor://prod-server:6379"
    use_retry: true
    retry_attempts: 5
    socket_timeout: 10.0

import yaml
from kiarina.lib.falkordb import settings_manager, get_falkordb

# Load configuration
with open("config.yaml") as f:
    config = yaml.safe_load(f)

settings_manager.user_config = config["kiarina.lib.falkordb"]

# Use specific configuration
settings_manager.active_key = "production"
db = get_falkordb()

Configuration Reference

Setting	Default	Description
url	"falkor://localhost:6379"	FalkorDB connection URL (supports falkor://, falkors:// with optional auth)
use_retry	false	Enable automatic retries on connection errors
socket_timeout	6.0	Socket timeout in seconds
socket_connect_timeout	3.0	Connection timeout in seconds
health_check_interval	60	Health check interval in seconds
retry_attempts	3	Number of retry attempts
retry_delay	1.0	Delay between retries in seconds

All settings can be configured via environment variables with the KIARINA_LIB_FALKORDB_ prefix.

Testing

# Start FalkorDB
docker compose up -d falkordb

# Run tests
mise run package:test kiarina-lib-falkordb

# With coverage
mise run package:test kiarina-lib-falkordb --coverage

Dependencies

• kiarina-falkordb - FalkorDB Python client (fork with redis-py 6.x support)
• pydantic-settings - Settings management
• pydantic-settings-manager - Advanced settings management
• redis - Redis client

Note: This library uses a fork of the official FalkorDB client that supports redis-py 6.x and includes async bug fixes. Once these improvements are merged upstream, we'll migrate back to the official client.
