pip install kiarina-lib-redisearch

Features

• Index management Create, drop, reset, and migrate indexes.
• Document operations Store, retrieve, and delete documents as Redis hashes.
• Filtered search Build tag, numeric, and text conditions with typed objects or condition lists.
• Vector search Run nearest-neighbor searches against FLAT or HNSW indexes.
• Synchronous and asynchronous APIs Use the same operations through kiarina.lib.redisearch and kiarina.lib.redisearch.asyncio.

Configuring an Index

Environment variables use the KIARINA_LIB_REDISEARCH_ prefix.

export KIARINA_LIB_REDISEARCH_KEY_PREFIX="article:"
export KIARINA_LIB_REDISEARCH_INDEX_NAME="articles"
export KIARINA_LIB_REDISEARCH_PROTECT_INDEX_DELETION="false"

User configuration through pydantic-settings-manager can hold multiple named index settings.

kiarina.lib.redisearch:
  default: articles
  configs:
    articles:
      key_prefix: "article:"
      index_name: articles
      protect_index_deletion: false

Defining a Schema

from kiarina.lib.redisearch_schema import RedisearchFieldDicts

field_dicts: RedisearchFieldDicts = [
    {"type": "tag", "name": "category"},
    {"type": "text", "name": "title", "sortable": True},
    {"type": "numeric", "name": "price", "sortable": True},
    {
        "type": "vector",
        "name": "embedding",
        "algorithm": "HNSW",
        "dims": 1536,
        "distance_metric": "COSINE",
    },
]

decode_responses=False is required because Redis stores vectors as bytes.

Using the Synchronous Client

from redis import Redis

from kiarina.lib.redisearch import create_redisearch_client

redis = Redis.from_url("redis://localhost:6379", decode_responses=False)
client = create_redisearch_client(field_dicts=field_dicts, redis=redis)

client.create_index()
client.set(
    {
        "id": "1",
        "category": "news",
        "title": "Example",
        "price": 100,
        "embedding": [0.1] * 1536,
    }
)
result = client.find(return_fields=["category", "title", "price"])

Using the Asynchronous Client

from redis.asyncio import Redis

from kiarina.lib.redisearch.asyncio import create_redisearch_client

redis = Redis.from_url("redis://localhost:6379", decode_responses=False)
client = create_redisearch_client(field_dicts=field_dicts, redis=redis)

await client.create_index()
result = await client.find(return_fields=["category", "title", "price"])

Filtering Documents

from kiarina.lib.redisearch_filter import Numeric, Tag, Text

filter = (Tag("category") == "news") & (Numeric("price") < 1000)
result = client.find(filter=filter)

filter = Text("title") % "python*"
result = client.find(filter=filter)

filter = (Tag("color") == "blue") & (Numeric("price") < 100)
print(str(filter))
# (@color:{blue} @price:[-inf (100])

Conditions in a list are joined with AND.

result = client.find(
    filter=[
        ["category", "in", ["news", "guide"]],
        ["price", "<", 1000],
        ["title", "like", "python*"],
    ]
)

Searching by Vector

result = client.search(
    vector=[0.1] * 1536,
    filter=Tag("category") == "news",
    limit=10,
    return_fields=["title", "price"],
)

API Reference

kiarina.lib.redisearch

from kiarina.lib.redisearch import (
    RedisearchClient,
    RedisearchSettings,
    create_redisearch_client,
    settings_manager,
)

create_redisearch_client

def create_redisearch_client(
    settings_key: str | None = None,
    *,
    field_dicts: RedisearchFieldDicts,
    redis: redis.Redis,
) -> RedisearchClient: ...

Creates a client from a settings key, field definitions, and a synchronous Redis client.

RedisearchClient

class RedisearchClient:
    def __init__(
        self,
        settings: RedisearchSettings,
        *,
        schema: RedisearchSchema,
        redis: redis.Redis,
    ) -> None: ...

    def exists_index(self) -> bool: ...
    def create_index(self) -> None: ...
    def drop_index(self, *, delete_documents: bool = False) -> bool: ...
    def reset_index(self) -> None: ...
    def migrate_index(self) -> None: ...
    def get_info(self) -> InfoResult: ...

    def set(self, mapping: dict[str, Any], *, id: str | None = None) -> None: ...
    def delete(self, id: str) -> None: ...
    def get(self, id: str) -> Document | None: ...

    def count(
        self,
        *,
        filter: RedisearchFilter | RedisearchFilterConditions | None = None,
    ) -> SearchResult: ...

    def find(
        self,
        *,
        filter: RedisearchFilter | RedisearchFilterConditions | None = None,
        sort_by: str | None = None,
        sort_desc: bool = False,
        offset: int | None = None,
        limit: int | None = None,
        return_fields: list[str] | None = None,
    ) -> SearchResult: ...

    def search(
        self,
        *,
        vector: list[float],
        filter: RedisearchFilter | RedisearchFilterConditions | None = None,
        offset: int | None = None,
        limit: int | None = None,
        return_fields: list[str] | None = None,
    ) -> SearchResult: ...

    def get_key(self, id: str) -> str: ...

drop_index returns True when the index is dropped. With protect_index_deletion=True, it leaves the index unchanged and returns False. When id is omitted from set, mapping["id"] is required. When return_fields is omitted from find, results contain IDs only.

RedisearchSettings

class RedisearchSettings(BaseSettings):
    key_prefix: str = ""
    index_name: str = "default"
    protect_index_deletion: bool = False

settings_manager

settings_manager: SettingsManager[RedisearchSettings]

Manages multiple named settings.

kiarina.lib.redisearch.asyncio

from kiarina.lib.redisearch.asyncio import (
    RedisearchClient,
    RedisearchSettings,
    create_redisearch_client,
    settings_manager,
)

create_redisearch_client

def create_redisearch_client(
    settings_key: str | None = None,
    *,
    field_dicts: RedisearchFieldDicts,
    redis: redis.asyncio.Redis,
) -> RedisearchClient: ...

RedisearchClient

The asynchronous client uses the same arguments and return values as the synchronous client. Only methods that perform Redis I/O are async.

class RedisearchClient:
    def __init__(
        self,
        settings: RedisearchSettings,
        *,
        schema: RedisearchSchema,
        redis: redis.asyncio.Redis,
    ) -> None: ...

    async def exists_index(self) -> bool: ...
    async def create_index(self) -> None: ...
    async def drop_index(self, *, delete_documents: bool = False) -> bool: ...
    async def reset_index(self) -> None: ...
    async def migrate_index(self) -> None: ...
    async def get_info(self) -> InfoResult: ...
    async def set(
        self,
        mapping: dict[str, Any],
        *,
        id: str | None = None,
    ) -> None: ...
    async def delete(self, id: str) -> None: ...
    async def get(self, id: str) -> Document | None: ...
    async def count(
        self,
        *,
        filter: RedisearchFilter | RedisearchFilterConditions | None = None,
    ) -> SearchResult: ...
    async def find(
        self,
        *,
        filter: RedisearchFilter | RedisearchFilterConditions | None = None,
        sort_by: str | None = None,
        sort_desc: bool = False,
        offset: int | None = None,
        limit: int | None = None,
        return_fields: list[str] | None = None,
    ) -> SearchResult: ...
    async def search(
        self,
        *,
        vector: list[float],
        filter: RedisearchFilter | RedisearchFilterConditions | None = None,
        offset: int | None = None,
        limit: int | None = None,
        return_fields: list[str] | None = None,
    ) -> SearchResult: ...
    def get_key(self, id: str) -> str: ...

RedisearchSettings and settings_manager are the same objects exported by the synchronous API.

kiarina.lib.redisearch_filter

from kiarina.lib.redisearch_filter import (
    Numeric,
    RedisearchFilter,
    RedisearchFilterConditions,
    Tag,
    Text,
    create_redisearch_filter,
)

create_redisearch_filter

def create_redisearch_filter(
    *,
    filter: RedisearchFilter | RedisearchFilterConditions,
    schema: RedisearchSchema,
) -> RedisearchFilter | None: ...

Validates a condition list and converts it to filters joined with AND. Returns None for an empty list.

Tag

class Tag:
    def __init__(self, field_name: str) -> None: ...
    def __eq__(
        self,
        other: list[str] | set[str] | tuple[str, ...] | str,
    ) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __ne__(
        self,
        other: list[str] | set[str] | tuple[str, ...] | str,
    ) -> RedisearchFilter: ...

Creates equality and inequality conditions for single or multiple tag values.

str(Tag("color") == "blue")          # @color:{blue}
str(Tag("color") == ["blue", "red"]) # @color:{blue|red}
str(Tag("color") != "blue")          # (-@color:{blue})
str(Tag("color") != ["blue", "red"]) # (-@color:{blue|red})

Numeric

class Numeric:
    def __init__(self, field_name: str) -> None: ...
    def __eq__(self, other: int | float) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __ne__(self, other: int | float) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __gt__(self, other: int | float) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __lt__(self, other: int | float) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __ge__(self, other: int | float) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __le__(self, other: int | float) -> RedisearchFilter: ...

Supports every numeric comparison operator.

str(Numeric("price") == 100) # @price:[100 100]
str(Numeric("price") != 100) # (-@price:[100 100])
str(Numeric("price") > 100)  # @price:[(100 +inf]
str(Numeric("price") < 100)  # @price:[-inf (100]
str(Numeric("price") >= 100) # @price:[100 +inf]
str(Numeric("price") <= 100) # @price:[-inf 100]

Text

class Text:
    def __init__(self, field_name: str) -> None: ...
    def __eq__(self, other: str) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __ne__(self, other: str) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __mod__(self, other: str) -> RedisearchFilter: ...

== and != create exact-match conditions. % accepts a RediSearch text query, including wildcards.

str(Text("title") == "hello") # @title:("hello")
str(Text("title") != "hello") # (-@title:"hello")
str(Text("title") % "*hello*") # @title:(*hello*)

RedisearchFilter

class RedisearchFilter:
    def __init__(
        self,
        query: str | None = None,
        *,
        left: RedisearchFilter | None = None,
        operator: RedisearchFilterOperator | None = None,
        right: RedisearchFilter | None = None,
    ) -> None: ...
    def __and__(self, other: RedisearchFilter) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __or__(self, other: RedisearchFilter) -> RedisearchFilter: ...
    def __str__(self) -> str: ...

& joins conditions with AND, while | joins them with OR.

color = Tag("color") == "blue"
price = Numeric("price") < 100

str(color & price) # (@color:{blue} @price:[-inf (100])
str(color | price) # (@color:{blue} | @price:[-inf (100])

RedisearchFilterConditions

RedisearchFilterConditions: TypeAlias = list[list[Any]]

Each condition contains [field_name, operator, value]. Multiple conditions are joined with AND.

conditions: RedisearchFilterConditions = [
    ["color", "in", ["blue", "red"]],
    ["price", "<", 1000],
    ["title", "like", "*hello*"],
]

The following operators are available for each field type.

tag_conditions: RedisearchFilterConditions = [
    ["color", "==", "blue"],
    ["color", "!=", "blue"],
    ["color", "in", ["blue", "red"]],
    ["color", "not in", ["blue", "red"]],
]

numeric_conditions: RedisearchFilterConditions = [
    ["price", "==", 1000],
    ["price", "!=", 1000],
    ["price", ">", 1000],
    ["price", "<", 1000],
    ["price", ">=", 1000],
    ["price", "<=", 1000],
]

text_conditions: RedisearchFilterConditions = [
    ["title", "==", "hello"],
    ["title", "!=", "hello"],
    ["title", "like", "*hello*"],
]
