Source code for langchain.embeddings.cache

"""Module contains code for a cache backed embedder.

The cache backed embedder is a wrapper around an embedder that caches
embeddings in a key-value store. The cache is used to avoid recomputing
embeddings for the same text.

The text is hashed and the hash is used as the key in the cache.
