wurzel 2.5.1

Pick, choose and chain your RAG tools in a pythonic way

wurzel

wurzel is the german word for root. So with this framework we provide a combination of the best out of the whole domain of retrieval and beyond.

wurzel is an open-source Python library built to address advanced Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) needs for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. It is designed to streamline ETL processes while offering essential features like multi-tenancy, cloud-native deployment support, and job scheduling.

The repository includes initial implementations for widely-used frameworks in the RAG ecosystem, such as Qdrant, Milvus, and Hugging Face, providing users with a strong starting point for building scalable and efficient RAG pipelines.

Features

• Advanced ETL Pipelines: Tailored for the specific needs of RAG systems.
• Multi-Tenancy: Easily manage multiple tenants or projects within a single system.
• Cloud-Native Deployment: Designed for seamless integration with Kubernetes, Docker, and other cloud platforms.
• Scheduling Capabilities: Schedule and manage ETL tasks using built-in or external tools.
• Framework Integrations: Pre-built support for popular tools like Qdrant, Milvus, and Hugging Face.
• Type Security: By leveraging capabilities of pydantic and pandera we ensure type security

Installation

To get started with wurzel, install the library using pip:

pip install wurzel

Run a Step (Two Ways)

1. CLI-based Execution

Run a step using the CLI:

wurzel run <step_file_path> --inputs ./data --output ./out

To inspect the step requirements:

wurzel inspect wurzel.<step_path>

2. Programmatic Execution (Python)

Run a step using the snippet below:

import os
from pathlib import Path

from wurzel.step_executor import BaseStepExecutor
from wurzel.steps.manual_markdown import ManualMarkdownStep

# Create input dir and set folder (required by ManualMarkdownStep)
input_dir = Path("./input")
input_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
abs_input = input_dir.resolve()
os.environ["MANUALMARKDOWNSTEP__FOLDER_PATH"] = str(abs_input)
with BaseStepExecutor() as ex:
    ex(ManualMarkdownStep, {abs_input}, Path("./output"))
