InMemoryDocumentIndex#

class langchain_core.indexing.in_memory.InMemoryDocumentIndex[source]#

Bases: DocumentIndex

Beta

Introduced in version 0.2.29. Underlying abstraction subject to change.

In memory document index.

This is an in-memory document index that stores documents in a dictionary.

It provides a simple search API that returns documents by the number of counts the given query appears in the document.

Added in version 0.2.29.

Note

InMemoryDocumentIndex implements the standard Runnable Interface. 🏃

The Runnable Interface has additional methods that are available on runnables, such as with_types, with_retry, assign, bind, get_graph, and more.

param metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None#

Optional metadata associated with the retriever. Defaults to None. This metadata will be associated with each call to this retriever, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a retriever with its use case.

param store: dict[str, Document] [Optional]#
param tags: list[str] | None = None#

Optional list of tags associated with the retriever. Defaults to None. These tags will be associated with each call to this retriever, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a retriever with its use case.

param top_k: int = 4#
async abatch(inputs: list[Input], config: RunnableConfig | list[RunnableConfig] | None = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Any | None) → list[Output]#

Default implementation runs ainvoke in parallel using asyncio.gather.

The default implementation of batch works well for IO bound runnables.

Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently; e.g., if the underlying Runnable uses an API which supports a batch mode.

Parameters:

  • inputs (list[Input]) – A list of inputs to the Runnable.

  • config (RunnableConfig | list[RunnableConfig] | None) – A config to use when invoking the Runnable. The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig for more details. Defaults to None.

  • return_exceptions (bool) – Whether to return exceptions instead of raising them. Defaults to False.

  • kwargs (Any | None) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Returns:

A list of outputs from the Runnable.

Return type:

list[Output]

async abatch_as_completed(inputs: Sequence[Input], config: RunnableConfig | Sequence[RunnableConfig] | None = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Any | None) → AsyncIterator[tuple[int, Output | Exception]]#

Run ainvoke in parallel on a list of inputs, yielding results as they complete.

Parameters:

  • inputs (Sequence[Input]) – A list of inputs to the Runnable.

  • config (RunnableConfig | Sequence[RunnableConfig] | None) – A config to use when invoking the Runnable. The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig for more details. Defaults to None. Defaults to None.

  • return_exceptions (bool) – Whether to return exceptions instead of raising them. Defaults to False.

  • kwargs (Any | None) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Yields:

A tuple of the index of the input and the output from the Runnable.

Return type:

AsyncIterator[tuple[int, Output | Exception]]

async adelete(ids: list[str] | None = None, **kwargs: Any) → DeleteResponse#

Delete by IDs or other criteria. Async variant.

Calling adelete without any input parameters should raise a ValueError!

Parameters:

  • ids (list[str] | None) – List of ids to delete.

  • kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments. This is up to the implementation. For example, can include an option to delete the entire index.

Returns:

A response object that contains the list of IDs that were successfully deleted and the list of IDs that failed to be deleted.

Return type:

DeleteResponse

async aget(ids: Sequence[str], /, **kwargs: Any) → list[Document]#

Get documents by id.

Fewer documents may be returned than requested if some IDs are not found or if there are duplicated IDs.

Users should not assume that the order of the returned documents matches the order of the input IDs. Instead, users should rely on the ID field of the returned documents.

This method should NOT raise exceptions if no documents are found for some IDs.

Parameters:

  • ids (Sequence[str]) – List of IDs to get.

  • kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments. These are up to the implementation.

Returns:

List of documents that were found.

Return type:

List[Document]

async aget_relevant_documents(query: str, *, callbacks: Callbacks = None, tags: list[str] | None = None, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None, run_name: str | None = None, **kwargs: Any) → list[Document]#

Deprecated since version langchain-core==0.1.46: Use ainvoke() instead. It will not be removed until langchain-core==1.0.

Asynchronously get documents relevant to a query.

Users should favor using .ainvoke or .abatch rather than aget_relevant_documents directly.

Parameters:

  • query (str) – string to find relevant documents for.

  • callbacks (Callbacks) – Callback manager or list of callbacks.

  • tags (Optional[list[str]]) – Optional list of tags associated with the retriever. These tags will be associated with each call to this retriever, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. Defaults to None.

  • metadata (Optional[dict[str, Any]]) – Optional metadata associated with the retriever. This metadata will be associated with each call to this retriever, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. Defaults to None.

  • run_name (Optional[str]) – Optional name for the run. Defaults to None.

  • kwargs (Any) – Additional arguments to pass to the retriever.

Returns:

List of relevant documents.

Return type:

list[Document]

async ainvoke(input: str, config: RunnableConfig | None = None, **kwargs: Any) → list[Document]#

Asynchronously invoke the retriever to get relevant documents.

Main entry point for asynchronous retriever invocations.

Parameters:

  • input (str) – The query string.

  • config (RunnableConfig | None) – Configuration for the retriever. Defaults to None.

  • kwargs (Any) – Additional arguments to pass to the retriever.

Returns:

List of relevant documents.

Return type:

list[Document]

Examples:

await retriever.ainvoke("query")
async astream(input: Input, config: RunnableConfig | None = None, **kwargs: Any | None) → AsyncIterator[Output]#

Default implementation of astream, which calls ainvoke. Subclasses should override this method if they support streaming output.

Parameters:

  • input (Input) – The input to the Runnable.

  • config (RunnableConfig | None) – The config to use for the Runnable. Defaults to None.

  • kwargs (Any | None) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Yields:

The output of the Runnable.

Return type:

AsyncIterator[Output]

async astream_events(input: Any, config: RunnableConfig | None = None, *, version: Literal['v1', 'v2'], include_names: Sequence[str] | None = None, include_types: Sequence[str] | None = None, include_tags: Sequence[str] | None = None, exclude_names: Sequence[str] | None = None, exclude_types: Sequence[str] | None = None, exclude_tags: Sequence[str] | None = None, **kwargs: Any) → AsyncIterator[StandardStreamEvent | CustomStreamEvent]#

Generate a stream of events.

Use to create an iterator over StreamEvents that provide real-time information about the progress of the Runnable, including StreamEvents from intermediate results.

A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

  • event: str - Event names are of the

    format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).

  • name: str - The name of the Runnable that generated the event.

  • run_id: str - randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of

    the Runnable that emitted the event. A child Runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent Runnable is assigned its own unique ID.

  • parent_ids: List[str] - The IDs of the parent runnables that

    generated the event. The root Runnable will have an empty list. The order of the parent IDs is from the root to the immediate parent. Only available for v2 version of the API. The v1 version of the API will return an empty list.

  • tags: Optional[List[str]] - The tags of the Runnable that generated

    the event.

  • metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] - The metadata of the Runnable

    that generated the event.

  • data: Dict[str, Any]

Below is a table that illustrates some events that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

ATTENTION This reference table is for the V2 version of the schema.

In addition to the standard events, users can also dispatch custom events (see example below).

Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

A custom event has following format:

Attribute

Type

Description

name

str

A user defined name for the event.

data

Any

The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.

Here are declarations associated with the standard events shown above:

format_docs:

def format_docs(docs: List[Document]) -> str:
    '''Format the docs.'''
    return ", ".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])

format_docs = RunnableLambda(format_docs)

some_tool:

@tool
def some_tool(x: int, y: str) -> dict:
    '''Some_tool.'''
    return {"x": x, "y": y}

prompt:

template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [("system", "You are Cat Agent 007"), ("human", "{question}")]
).with_config({"run_name": "my_template", "tags": ["my_template"]})

Example:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

async def reverse(s: str) -> str:
    return s[::-1]

chain = RunnableLambda(func=reverse)

events = [
    event async for event in chain.astream_events("hello", version="v2")
]

# will produce the following events (run_id, and parent_ids
# has been omitted for brevity):
[
    {
        "data": {"input": "hello"},
        "event": "on_chain_start",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"chunk": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_stream",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"output": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_end",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },

    await adispatch_custom_event(
        "progress_event",
        {"message": "Finished step 2 of 3"},
        config=config # Must be included for python < 3.10
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    return "Done"

Yields:

An async stream of StreamEvents.

Raises:

NotImplementedError – If the version is not v1 or v2.

Return type:

AsyncIterator[StandardStreamEvent | CustomStreamEvent]

async aupsert(items: Sequence[Document], /, **kwargs: Any) → UpsertResponse#

Add or update documents in the vectorstore. Async version of upsert.

The upsert functionality should utilize the ID field of the item if it is provided. If the ID is not provided, the upsert method is free to generate an ID for the item.

When an ID is specified and the item already exists in the vectorstore, the upsert method should update the item with the new data. If the item does not exist, the upsert method should add the item to the vectorstore.

Parameters:

  • items (Sequence[Document]) – Sequence of documents to add to the vectorstore.

  • **kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments.

Returns:

A response object that contains the list of IDs that were successfully added or updated in the vectorstore and the list of IDs that failed to be added or updated.

Return type:

UpsertResponse

with_listeners(*, on_start: Callable[[Run], None] | Callable[[Run, RunnableConfig], None] | None = None, on_end: Callable[[Run], None] | Callable[[Run, RunnableConfig], None] | None = None, on_error: Callable[[Run], None] | Callable[[Run, RunnableConfig], None] | None = None) → Runnable[Input, Output]#

Bind lifecycle listeners to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.

on_start: Called before the Runnable starts running, with the Run object. on_end: Called after the Runnable finishes running, with the Run object. on_error: Called if the Runnable throws an error, with the Run object.

The Run object contains information about the run, including its id, type, input, output, error, start_time, end_time, and any tags or metadata added to the run.

Parameters:

  • on_start (Optional[Union[Callable[[Run], None], Callable[[Run, RunnableConfig], None]]]) – Called before the Runnable starts running. Defaults to None.

  • on_end (Optional[Union[Callable[[Run], None], Callable[[Run, RunnableConfig], None]]]) – Called after the Runnable finishes running. Defaults to None.

  • on_error (Optional[Union[Callable[[Run], None], Callable[[Run, RunnableConfig], None]]]) – Called if the Runnable throws an error. Defaults to None.

Returns:

A new Runnable with the listeners bound.

Return type:

Runnable[Input, Output]

Example:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda
from langchain_core.tracers.schemas import Run

import time

def test_runnable(time_to_sleep : int):
    time.sleep(time_to_sleep)

def fn_start(run_obj: Run):
    print("start_time:", run_obj.start_time)

def fn_end(run_obj: Run):
    print("end_time:", run_obj.end_time)

chain = RunnableLambda(test_runnable).with_listeners(
    on_start=fn_start,
    on_end=fn_end
)
chain.invoke(2)
with_retry(*, retry_if_exception_type: tuple[type[BaseException], ...] = (<class 'Exception'>,), wait_exponential_jitter: bool = True, stop_after_attempt: int = 3) → Runnable[Input, Output]#

Create a new Runnable that retries the original Runnable on exceptions.

Parameters:

  • retry_if_exception_type (tuple[type[BaseException], ...]) – A tuple of exception types to retry on. Defaults to (Exception,).

  • wait_exponential_jitter (bool) – Whether to add jitter to the wait time between retries. Defaults to True.

  • stop_after_attempt (int) – The maximum number of attempts to make before giving up. Defaults to 3.

Returns:

A new Runnable that retries the original Runnable on exceptions.

Return type:

Runnable[Input, Output]

Example:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

count = 0


def _lambda(x: int) -> None:
    global count
    count = count + 1
    if x == 1:
        raise ValueError("x is 1")
    else:
         pass


runnable = RunnableLambda(_lambda)
try:
    runnable.with_retry(
        stop_after_attempt=2,
        retry_if_exception_type=(ValueError,),
    ).invoke(1)
except ValueError:
    pass

assert (count == 2)
Parameters:

  • retry_if_exception_type (tuple[type[BaseException], ...]) – A tuple of exception types to retry on

  • wait_exponential_jitter (bool) – Whether to add jitter to the wait time between retries

  • stop_after_attempt (int) – The maximum number of attempts to make before giving up

Returns:

A new Runnable that retries the original Runnable on exceptions.

Return type:

Runnable[Input, Output]

with_types(*, input_type: type[Input] | None = None, output_type: type[Output] | None = None) → Runnable[Input, Output]#

Bind input and output types to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.

Parameters:

  • input_type (type[Input] | None) – The input type to bind to the Runnable. Defaults to None.

  • output_type (type[Output] | None) – The output type to bind to the Runnable. Defaults to None.

Returns:

A new Runnable with the types bound.

Return type:

Runnable[Input, Output]
