llm-elasticsearch-cache

A caching layer for LLMs that exploits Elasticsearch, fully compatible with LangChain caching, both for chat and embeddings models.

Install

pip install llm-elasticsearch-cache

Chat cache usage

The LangChain cache can be used similarly to the other cache integrations.

Basic example

from langchain.globals import set_llm_cache
from llmescache.langchain import ElasticsearchCache
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

es_client = Elasticsearch(hosts="http://localhost:9200")
set_llm_cache(
    ElasticsearchCache(
        es_client=es_client, 
        es_index="llm-chat-cache", 
        metadata={"project": "my_chatgpt_project"}
    )
)

The es_index parameter can also take aliases. This allows to use the ILM: Manage the index lifecycle that we suggest to consider for managing retention and controlling cache growth.

Look at the class docstring for all parameters.

Index the generated text

The cached data won't be searchable by default. The developer can customize the building of the Elasticsearch document in order to add indexed text fields, where to put, for example, the text generated by the LLM.

This can be done by subclassing end overriding methods. The new cache class can be applied also to a pre-existing cache index:

from llmescache.langchain import ElasticsearchCache
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
from langchain_core.caches import RETURN_VAL_TYPE
from typing import Any, Dict, List
from langchain.globals import set_llm_cache
import json


class SearchableElasticsearchCache(ElasticsearchCache):

    @property
    def mapping(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        mapping = super().mapping
        mapping["mappings"]["properties"]["parsed_llm_output"] = {"type": "text", "analyzer": "english"}
        return mapping
    
    def build_document(self, prompt: str, llm_string: str, return_val: RETURN_VAL_TYPE) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        body = super().build_document(prompt, llm_string, return_val)
        body["parsed_llm_output"] = self._parse_output(body["llm_output"])
        return body

    @staticmethod
    def _parse_output(data: List[str]) -> List[str]:
        return [json.loads(output)["kwargs"]["message"]["kwargs"]["content"] for output in data]


es_client = Elasticsearch(hosts="http://localhost:9200")
set_llm_cache(SearchableElasticsearchCache(es_client=es_client, es_index="llm-chat-cache"))

Embeddings cache usage

Caching embeddings is obtained by using the CacheBackedEmbeddings, in a slightly different way than the official documentation.

from llmescache.langchain import ElasticsearchStore
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
from langchain.embeddings import CacheBackedEmbeddings
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings

es_client = Elasticsearch(hosts="http://localhost:9200")

underlying_embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings(model="text-embedding-3-small")
store = ElasticsearchStore(
    es_client=es_client, 
    es_index="llm-embeddings-cache",
    namespace=underlying_embeddings.model,
    metadata={"project": "my_llm_project"}
)
cached_embeddings = CacheBackedEmbeddings(
    underlying_embeddings, 
    store
)

Similarly to the chat cache, one can subclass ElasticsearchStore in order to index vectors for search.

from llmescache.langchain import ElasticsearchStore
from typing import Any, Dict, List

class SearchableElasticsearchStore(ElasticsearchStore):

    @property
    def mapping(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        mapping = super().mapping
        mapping["mappings"]["properties"]["vector"] = {"type": "dense_vector", "dims": 1536, "index": True, "similarity": "dot_product"}
        return mapping
    
    def build_document(self, llm_input: str, vector: List[float]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        body = super().build_document(llm_input, vector)
        body["vector"] = vector
        return body

Be aware that CacheBackedEmbeddings does not currently support caching queries, this means that text queries, for vector searches, won't be cached. However, by overriding the embed_query method one should be able to easily implement it.
