Extend your database application to build AI-powered experiences leveraging Memorystore for Redis's LangChain integrations. This notebook goes over how to use [Memorystore for Redis](https://cloud.google.com/memorystore/docs/redis/memorystore-for-redis-overview) to [save, load and delete langchain documents](/oss/python/integrations/document_loaders) with `MemorystoreDocumentLoader` and `MemorystoreDocumentSaver`. Learn more about the package on [GitHub](https://github.com/googleapis/langchain-google-memorystore-redis-python/). [![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/googleapis/langchain-google-memorystore-redis-python/blob/main/docs/document_loader.ipynb) ## Before you begin To run this notebook, you will need to do the following: * [Create a Google Cloud Project](https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-project) * [Enable the Memorystore for Redis API](https://console.cloud.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=redis.googleapis.com) * [Create a Memorystore for Redis instance](https://cloud.google.com/memorystore/docs/redis/create-instance-console). Ensure that the version is greater than or equal to 5.0. After confirmed access to database in the runtime environment of this notebook, filling the following values and run the cell before running example scripts. ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}} # @markdown Please specify an endpoint associated with the instance and a key prefix for demo purpose. ENDPOINT = "redis://127.0.0.1:6379" # @param {type:"string"} KEY_PREFIX = "doc:" # @param {type:"string"} ``` ### 🦜🔗 Library installation The integration lives in its own `langchain-google-memorystore-redis` package, so we need to install it. ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}} pip install -upgrade --quiet langchain-google-memorystore-redis ``` **Colab only**: Uncomment the following cell to restart the kernel or use the button to restart the kernel. For Vertex AI Workbench you can restart the terminal using the button on top. ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}} # # Automatically restart kernel after installs so that your environment can access the new packages # import IPython # app = IPython.Application.instance() # app.kernel.do_shutdown(True) ``` ### ☁ Set your Google cloud project Set your Google Cloud project so that you can leverage Google Cloud resources within this notebook. If you don't know your project ID, try the following: * Run `gcloud config list`. * Run `gcloud projects list`. * See the support page: [Locate the project ID](https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/7014113). ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}} # @markdown Please fill in the value below with your Google Cloud project ID and then run the cell. PROJECT_ID = "my-project-id" # @param {type:"string"} # Set the project id !gcloud config set project {PROJECT_ID} ``` ### 🔐 Authentication Authenticate to Google Cloud as the IAM user logged into this notebook in order to access your Google Cloud Project. * If you are using Colab to run this notebook, use the cell below and continue. * If you are using Vertex AI Workbench, check out the [Vertex AI Workbench setup instructions](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/generative-ai/tree/main/setup-env). ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}} from google.colab import auth auth.authenticate_user() ``` ## Basic usage ### Save documents Save langchain documents with `MemorystoreDocumentSaver.add_documents()`. To initialize `MemorystoreDocumentSaver` class you need to provide 2 things: 1. `client` - A `redis.Redis` client object. 2. `key_prefix` - A prefix for the keys to store Documents in Redis. The Documents will be stored into randomly generated keys with the specified prefix of `key_prefix`. Alternatively, you can designate the suffixes of the keys by specifying `ids` in the `add_documents` method. ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}} import redis from langchain_core.documents import Document from langchain_google_memorystore_redis import MemorystoreDocumentSaver test_docs = [ Document( page_content="Apple Granny Smith 150 0.99 1", metadata={"fruit_id": 1}, ), Document( page_content="Banana Cavendish 200 0.59 0", metadata={"fruit_id": 2}, ), Document( page_content="Orange Navel 80 1.29 1", metadata={"fruit_id": 3}, ), ] doc_ids = [f"{i}" for i in range(len(test_docs))] redis_client = redis.from_url(ENDPOINT) saver = MemorystoreDocumentSaver( client=redis_client, key_prefix=KEY_PREFIX, content_field="page_content", ) saver.add_documents(test_docs, ids=doc_ids) ``` ### Load documents Initialize a loader that loads all documents stored in the Memorystore for Redis instance with a specific prefix. Load langchain documents with `MemorystoreDocumentLoader.load()` or `MemorystoreDocumentLoader.lazy_load()`. `lazy_load` returns a generator that only queries database during the iteration. To initialize `MemorystoreDocumentLoader` class you need to provide: 1. `client` - A `redis.Redis` client object. 2. `key_prefix` - A prefix for the keys to store Documents in Redis. ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}} import redis from langchain_google_memorystore_redis import MemorystoreDocumentLoader redis_client = redis.from_url(ENDPOINT) loader = MemorystoreDocumentLoader( client=redis_client, key_prefix=KEY_PREFIX, content_fields=set(["page_content"]), ) for doc in loader.lazy_load(): print("Loaded documents:", doc) ``` ### Delete documents Delete all of keys with the specified prefix in the Memorystore for Redis instance with `MemorystoreDocumentSaver.delete()`. You can also specify the suffixes of the keys if you know. ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}} docs = loader.load() print("Documents before delete:", docs) saver.delete(ids=[0]) print("Documents after delete:", loader.load()) saver.delete() print("Documents after delete all:", loader.load()) ``` ## Advanced usage ### Customize document page content & metadata When initializing a loader with more than 1 content field, the `page_content` of the loaded Documents will contain a JSON-encoded string with top level fields equal to the specified fields in `content_fields`. If the `metadata_fields` are specified, the `metadata` field of the loaded Documents will only have the top level fields equal to the specified `metadata_fields`. If any of the values of the metadata fields is stored as a JSON-encoded string, it will be decoded prior to being loaded to the metadata fields. ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}} loader = MemorystoreDocumentLoader( client=redis_client, key_prefix=KEY_PREFIX, content_fields=set(["content_field_1", "content_field_2"]), metadata_fields=set(["title", "author"]), ) ``` ***
