Deployment Options:

Below, we will use a local deployment as an example. However, Redis can be deployed in all of the following ways:

[Redis Cloud](https://redis.com/redis-enterprise-cloud/overview/)
[Docker (Redis Stack)](https://hub.docker.com/r/redis/redis-stack)
Cloud marketplaces: [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-e6y7ork67pjwg?sr=0-2&ref_=beagle&applicationId=AWSMPContessa), [Google Marketplace](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/redislabs-public/redis-enterprise?pli=1), or [Azure Marketplace](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/garantiadata.redis_enterprise_1sp_public_preview?tab=Overview)
On-premise: [Redis Enterprise Software](https://redis.com/redis-enterprise-software/overview/)
Kubernetes: [Redis Enterprise Software on Kubernetes](https://docs.redis.com/latest/kubernetes/)

Setup:

Install redis, redisvl, and langchain-community and run Redis locally.

pip install -qU redis redisvl langchain-community
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -p 8001:8001 redis/redis-stack:latest

Key init args — indexing params:

index_name: str: Name of the index.
index_schema: Optional[Union[Dict[str, ListOfDict], str, os.PathLike]]: Schema of the index and the vector schema. Can be a dict, or path to yaml file.
embedding: Embeddings: Embedding function to use.

Key init args — client params:

redis_url: str: Redis connection url.

Instantiate:

from langchain_community.vectorstores.redis import Redis
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings

vector_store = Redis(
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
    embedding=OpenAIEmbeddings(),
    index_name="users",
)

Add Documents:

from langchain_core.documents import Document

document_1 = Document(page_content="foo", metadata={"baz": "bar"})
document_2 = Document(page_content="thud", metadata={"bar": "baz"})
document_3 = Document(page_content="i will be deleted :(")

documents = [document_1, document_2, document_3]
ids = ["1", "2", "3"]
vector_store.add_documents(documents=documents, ids=ids)

Delete Documents:

vector_store.delete(ids=["3"])

Search:

results = vector_store.similarity_search(query="thud",k=1)
for doc in results:
    print(f"* {doc.page_content} [{doc.metadata}]")

* thud [{'id': 'doc:users:2'}]

Search with filter:

from langchain_community.vectorstores.redis import RedisTag

results = vector_store.similarity_search(query="thud",k=1,filter=(RedisTag("baz") != "bar"))
for doc in results:
    print(f"* {doc.page_content} [{doc.metadata}]")

* thud [{'id': 'doc:users:2'}]

Search with score:

results = vector_store.similarity_search_with_score(query="qux",k=1)
for doc, score in results:
    print(f"* [SIM={score:3f}] {doc.page_content} [{doc.metadata}]")

* [SIM=0.167700] foo [{'id': 'doc:users:1'}]

Async:

# add documents
# await vector_store.aadd_documents(documents=documents, ids=ids)

# delete documents
# await vector_store.adelete(ids=["3"])

# search
# results = vector_store.asimilarity_search(query="thud",k=1)

# search with score
results = await vector_store.asimilarity_search_with_score(query="qux",k=1)
for doc,score in results:
    print(f"* [SIM={score:3f}] {doc.page_content} [{doc.metadata}]")

* [SIM=0.167700] foo [{'id': 'doc:users:1'}]

Use as Retriever:

retriever = vector_store.as_retriever(
    search_type="mmr",
    search_kwargs={"k": 1, "fetch_k": 2, "lambda_mult": 0.5},
)
retriever.invoke("thud")

[Document(metadata={'id': 'doc:users:2'}, page_content='thud')]

Advanced examples:

Custom vector schema can be supplied to change the way that Redis creates the underlying vector schema. This is useful for production use cases where you want to optimize the vector schema for your use case. ex. using HNSW instead of FLAT (knn) which is the default

vector_schema = {
    "algorithm": "HNSW"
}

rds = Redis.from_texts(
    texts, # a list of strings
    metadata, # a list of metadata dicts
    embeddings, # an Embeddings object
    vector_schema=vector_schema,
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
)

Custom index schema can be supplied to change the way that the metadata is indexed. This is useful for you would like to use the hybrid querying (filtering) capability of Redis.

By default, this implementation will automatically generate the index schema according to the following rules:

All strings are indexed as text fields

All numbers are indexed as numeric fields

All lists of strings are indexed as tag fields (joined by
langchain_community.vectorstores.redis.constants.REDIS_TAG_SEPARATOR)

All None values are not indexed but still stored in Redis these are
not retrievable through the interface here, but the raw Redis client can be used to retrieve them.

All other types are not indexed

To override these rules, you can pass in a custom index schema like the following

tag:
    - name: credit_score
text:
    - name: user
    - name: job

Typically, the credit_score field would be a text field since it’s a string, however, we can override this behavior by specifying the field type as shown with the yaml config (can also be a dictionary) above and the code below.

rds = Redis.from_texts(
    texts, # a list of strings
    metadata, # a list of metadata dicts
    embeddings, # an Embeddings object
    index_schema="path/to/index_schema.yaml", # can also be a dictionary
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",
)

When connecting to an existing index where a custom schema has been applied, it’s important to pass in the same schema to the from_existing_index method. Otherwise, the schema for newly added samples will be incorrect and metadata will not be returned.

get_by_ids(ids: Sequence[str], /) → List[Document]#

Get documents by their IDs.

The returned documents are expected to have the ID field set to the ID of the document in the vector store.

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 retrieve.
Returns:: List of Documents.
Return type:: List[Document]

New in version 0.2.11.

similarity_search_limit_score(query: str, k: int = 4, score_threshold: float = 0.2, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document][source]#

Deprecated since version langchain-community==0.0.1: Use similarity_search(distance_threshold=0.1) instead.

Returns the most similar indexed documents to the query text within the score_threshold range.

Deprecated: Use similarity_search with distance_threshold instead.

Parameters:

query (str) – The query text for which to find similar documents.
k (int) – The number of documents to return. Default is 4.
score_threshold (float) – The minimum matching distance required for a document to be considered a match. Defaults to 0.2.
kwargs (Any) –

Returns:

A list of documents that are most similar to the query text: including the match score for each document.

Return type:

List[Document]

Note

If there are no documents that satisfy the score_threshold value, an empty list is returned.

similarity_search_with_relevance_scores(query: str, k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[Document, float]]#
