ShibuDb client library for python

ShibuDb Python Client

A comprehensive Python client for ShibuDb database that supports authentication, key-value operations, vector similarity search, and space management.

Features

• 🔐 Authentication & User Management: Secure login with role-based access control
• 🔑 Key-Value Operations: Traditional key-value storage with PUT, GET, DELETE operations
• 🧮 Vector Similarity Search: Advanced vector operations with multiple index types
• 🗂️ Space Management: Create, delete, and manage different storage spaces
• 🛡️ Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with custom exceptions
• 📊 Connection Management: Automatic connection handling with context managers

Installation

Prerequisites

1. ShibuDb Server: Ensure the ShibuDb server is running

   # Start the server (requires sudo)
   sudo shibudb start 9090
   

2. Python Requirements: The client uses only standard library modules

   • Python 3.7+
   • No external dependencies required

Setup

1. Clone or download the client files:

   # Copy the client files to your project
   cp shibudb_client.py your_project/
   

2. Import the client:

   from shibudb_client import ShibuDbClient, User, connect
   

Quick Start

Basic Connection and Authentication

from shibudb_client import ShibuDbClient

# Create client and authenticate
client = ShibuDbClient("localhost", 9090)
client.authenticate("admin", "password")

# Use context manager for automatic cleanup
with ShibuDbClient("localhost", 9090) as client:
    client.authenticate("admin", "password")
    # Your operations here

Key-Value Operations

# Create and use a space
client.create_space("mytable", "key-value")
client.use_space("mytable")

# Basic operations
client.put("name", "John Doe")
response = client.get("name")
print(response["value"])  # "John Doe"

client.delete("name")

Vector Operations

# Create a vector space
client.create_space("vectors", "vector", dimension=128, index_type="Flat", metric="L2")
client.use_space("vectors")

# Insert vectors
client.insert_vector(1, [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...])
client.insert_vector(2, [0.4, 0.5, 0.6, ...])

# Search for similar vectors
results = client.search_topk([0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...], k=5)
print(results["message"])  # Search results

# Range search
results = client.range_search([0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...], radius=0.5)

Advanced Usage

from shibudb_client import ShibuDbClient, User

# Create admin user
admin_user = User(
    username="admin",
    password="adminpass",
    role="admin"
)

# Create regular user with permissions
user = User(
    username="user1",
    password="userpass",
    role="user",
    permissions={"mytable": "read", "vectortable": "write"}
)

with ShibuDbClient("localhost", 9090) as client:
    client.authenticate("admin", "password")
    
    # Create users
    client.create_user(user)
    
    # Create spaces for different purposes
    client.create_space("users", "key-value")
    client.create_space("products", "key-value")
    client.create_space("embeddings", "vector", dimension=256)
    client.create_space("recommendations", "vector", dimension=512)
    
    # Store data in different spaces
    client.use_space("users")
    client.put("user1", "Alice Johnson")
    
    client.use_space("embeddings")
    client.insert_vector(1, [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...])
    
    # Search for recommendations
    query_vector = [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...]
    results = client.search_topk(query_vector, k=10)

Engine Types

Key-Value Engine

• Traditional key-value storage
• Supports PUT, GET, DELETE operations
• No dimension required

Vector Engine

• Vector similarity search
• Multiple index types:
  • Flat: Exact search (default)
  • HNSW: Hierarchical Navigable Small World
  • IVF: Inverted File Index
  • IVF with PQ: Product Quantization
• Distance metrics:
  • L2: Euclidean distance (default)
  • IP: Inner product
  • COS: Cosine similarity

Security

• Authentication Required: All operations require valid credentials
• Role-Based Access: Admin and user roles with different permissions
• Space-Level Permissions: Read/write permissions per space
• Connection Security: TCP-based communication with timeout handling

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Connection Failed

   • Ensure ShibuDb server is running: sudo shibudb start 9090
   • Check server port and host settings
   • Verify firewall settings

2. Authentication Failed

   • Verify username and password
   • Ensure user exists in the system
   • Check user permissions

3. Space Not Found

   • Use list_spaces() to see available spaces
   • Create space before using: create_space()
   • Use use_space() to switch to a space

4. Vector Dimension Mismatch

   • Ensure vector dimension matches space dimension
   • Check space creation parameters
   • Verify vector format (comma-separated floats)
