sayou-loader 0.5.0

Loader components for the Sayou Data Platform

sayou-loader

Overview

The Universal Data Transport Engine for Sayou Fabric.

sayou-loader is the final mile delivery system. It abstracts the complexity of writing to external systems, providing a Unified Interface to save your Knowledge Graph, Embeddings, or Structured Records.

Whether you are saving to a local file for debugging or pushing millions of vectors to a production database, the interface remains consistent: just call process().

1. Architecture & Role

The Loader takes the Assembled Payload (Nodes, Edges, Documents) and reliably transports it to the target destination based on the selected strategy.

1.1. Core Features

• Unified Write API: Switch from JSON to PostgreSQL by changing just one config string.
• Resilience: Built-in retry logic with exponential backoff for database connections.
• Batching: Automatically handles bulk inserts for high-throughput performance.

2. Available Strategies

sayou-loader supports the following storage backends out-of-the-box.

Category	Strategy Key	Description
File System	file	Saves as JSON, JSONL, or Pickle. Ideal for local debugging.
Graph DB	neo4j	Pushes Nodes and Edges via Cypher queries.
RDB	postgres	Maps structured attributes to Relational Tables.
NoSQL	mongo	Stores raw documents and metadata collections.
Vector DB	chroma	Upserts embeddings for semantic search.
Search Engine	elasticsearch	Indexes text fields for keyword search (BM25).

3. Installation

pip install sayou-loader

4. Usage

The LoaderPipeline is the entry point. You must provide a Strategy and the corresponding Configuration (credentials).

Case A: Local File (Simple)

Useful for checking the output of the Assembler during development.

from sayou.loader import LoaderPipeline

payload = {
    "nodes": [{"id": "1", "label": "Topic"}],
    "edges": [{"source": "1", "target": "2", "type": "LINK"}]
}

LoaderPipeline().process(
    data=payload,
    destination="./output/graph.json",
    strategy="file"
)

Case B: Knowledge Graph (Neo4j)

Connects to a Neo4j instance and synchronizes the graph topology.

from sayou.loader import LoaderPipeline

neo4j_config = {
    "uri": "bolt://localhost:7687",
    "user": "neo4j",
    "password": "password",
    "batch_size": 1000
}

LoaderPipeline().process(
    data=payload,
    destination="Neo4j Connection",
    strategy="neo4j",
    config=neo4j_config
)

Case C: Vector Database (Chroma)

Stores text chunks and their vector embeddings.

from sayou.loader import LoaderPipeline

chroma_config = {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 8000,
    "collection_name": "sayou_rag"
}

LoaderPipeline().process(
    data=payload,
    destination="ChromaDB",
    strategy="chroma",
    config=chroma_config
)

---

5. Configuration Keys

When using Database strategies, the config dictionary is mandatory.

• neo4j: uri, user, password, database (optional), batch_size.
• postgres: host, port, user, password, dbname, table_name.
• mongo: connection_string, db_name, collection_name.
• elasticsearch: hosts, index_name, http_auth (user, pass).
• chroma: path (for local), host, port, collection_name.
