关于 Weaviate

Weaviate is a cloud-native, open source vector database that is robust, fast, and scalable.

• 官网：https://weaviate.io
• github : https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate
• 官方文档：https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate

---

核心功能

---

部署方式

Multiple deployment options are available to cater for different users and use cases.

All options offer vectorizer and RAG module integration.

---

使用场景

Weaviate is flexible and can be used in many contexts and scenarios.

---

快速上手 （Python)

参考：https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/quickstart

---

1、创建 Weaviate 数据库

你可以在 Weaviate Cloud Services (WCS). 创建一个免费的 cloud sandbox 实例

方式如：https://weaviate.io/developers/wcs/quickstart

从WCS 的Details tab 拿到 API key 和 URL。

---

2、安装

使用 v4 client， Weaviate 1.23.7 及以上：

pip install -U weaviate-client

---

使用 v3

pip install "weaviate-client==3.*"

---

3、连接到 Weaviate

使用步骤一拿到的 API Key 和 URL，以及 OpenAI 的推理 API Key：https://platform.openai.com/signup

---

运行以下代码：

V4

import weaviate
import weaviate.classes as wvc
import os
import requests
import jsonclient = weaviate.connect_to_wcs(cluster_url=os.getenv("WCS_CLUSTER_URL"),auth_credentials=weaviate.auth.AuthApiKey(os.getenv("WCS_API_KEY")),headers={"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": os.environ["OPENAI_APIKEY"]  # Replace with your inference API key}
)try:pass # Replace with your code. Close client gracefully in the finally block.finally:client.close()  # Close client gracefully

---

V3

import weaviate
import jsonclient = weaviate.Client(url = "https://some-endpoint.weaviate.network",  # Replace with your endpointauth_client_secret=weaviate.auth.AuthApiKey(api_key="YOUR-WEAVIATE-API-KEY"),  # Replace w/ your Weaviate instance API keyadditional_headers = {"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": "YOUR-OPENAI-API-KEY"  # Replace with your inference API key}
)

---

4、定义数据集

Next, we define a data collection (a “class” in Weaviate) to store objects in.

This is analogous to creating a table in relational (SQL) databases.

---

The following code:

• Configures a class object with:
  • Name Question
  • Vectorizer module text2vec-openai
  • Generative module generative-openai
• Then creates the class.

---

V4

    questions = client.collections.create(name="Question",vectorizer_config=wvc.config.Configure.Vectorizer.text2vec_openai(),  # If set to "none" you must always provide vectors yourself. Could be any other "text2vec-*" also.generative_config=wvc.config.Configure.Generative.openai()  # Ensure the `generative-openai` module is used for generative queries)

---

V3

class_obj = {"class": "Question","vectorizer": "text2vec-openai",  # If set to "none" you must always provide vectors yourself. Could be any other "text2vec-*" also."moduleConfig": {"text2vec-openai": {},"generative-openai": {}  # Ensure the `generative-openai` module is used for generative queries}
}client.schema.create_class(class_obj)

---

5、添加对象

You can now add objects to Weaviate. You will be using a batch import (read more) process for maximum efficiency.

The guide covers using the vectorizer defined for the class to create a vector embedding for each object.

---

The above code:

• Loads objects, and
• Adds objects to the target class (Question) one by one.

---

V4

    resp = requests.get('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weaviate-tutorials/quickstart/main/data/jeopardy_tiny.json')data = json.loads(resp.text)  # Load dataquestion_objs = list()for i, d in enumerate(data):question_objs.append({"answer": d["Answer"],"question": d["Question"],"category": d["Category"],})questions = client.collections.get("Question")questions.data.insert_many(question_objs)  # This uses batching under the hood

---

V3

import requests
import json
resp = requests.get('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weaviate-tutorials/quickstart/main/data/jeopardy_tiny.json')
data = json.loads(resp.text)  # Load dataclient.batch.configure(batch_size=100)  # Configure batch
with client.batch as batch:  # Initialize a batch processfor i, d in enumerate(data):  # Batch import dataprint(f"importing question: {i+1}")properties = {"answer": d["Answer"],"question": d["Question"],"category": d["Category"],}batch.add_data_object(data_object=properties,class_name="Question")

---

6、查询

1）Semantic search

Let’s start with a similarity search. A nearText search looks for objects in Weaviate whose vectors are most similar to the vector for the given input text.

Run the following code to search for objects whose vectors are most similar to that of biology.

---

V4

import weaviate
import weaviate.classes as wvc
import osclient = weaviate.connect_to_wcs(cluster_url=os.getenv("WCS_CLUSTER_URL"),auth_credentials=weaviate.auth.AuthApiKey(os.getenv("WCS_API_KEY")),headers={"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": os.environ["OPENAI_APIKEY"]  # Replace with your inference API key}
)try:pass # Replace with your code. Close client gracefully in the finally block.questions = client.collections.get("Question")response = questions.query.near_text(query="biology",limit=2)print(response.objects[0].properties)  # Inspect the first objectfinally:client.close()  # Close client gracefully

---

V3

import weaviate
import jsonclient = weaviate.Client(url = "https://some-endpoint.weaviate.network",  # Replace with your endpointauth_client_secret=weaviate.auth.AuthApiKey(api_key="YOUR-WEAVIATE-API-KEY"),  # Replace w/ your Weaviate instance API keyadditional_headers = {"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": "YOUR-OPENAI-API-KEY"  # Replace with your inference API key}
)response = (client.query.get("Question", ["question", "answer", "category"]).with_near_text({"concepts": ["biology"]}).with_limit(2).do()
)print(json.dumps(response, indent=4))

---

结果如下

{"data": {"Get": {"Question": [{"answer": "DNA","category": "SCIENCE","question": "In 1953 Watson & Crick built a model of the molecular structure of this, the gene-carrying substance"},{"answer": "Liver","category": "SCIENCE","question": "This organ removes excess glucose from the blood & stores it as glycogen"}]}}
}

---

2) Semantic search with a filter

You can add Boolean filters to searches. For example, the above search can be modified to only in objects that have a “category” value of “ANIMALS”. Run the following code to see the results:

---

V4

    questions = client.collections.get("Question")response = questions.query.near_text(query="biology",limit=2,filters=wvc.query.Filter.by_property("category").equal("ANIMALS"))print(response.objects[0].properties)  # Inspect the first object

---

V3

response = (client.query.get("Question", ["question", "answer", "category"]).with_near_text({"concepts": ["biology"]}).with_where({"path": ["category"],"operator": "Equal","valueText": "ANIMALS"}).with_limit(2).do()
)print(json.dumps(response, indent=4))

---

结果如下：

{"data": {"Get": {"Question": [{"answer": "Elephant","category": "ANIMALS","question": "It's the only living mammal in the order Proboseidea"},{"answer": "the nose or snout","category": "ANIMALS","question": "The gavial looks very much like a crocodile except for this bodily feature"}]}}
}

Vector databases and LLMs go together like cookies and milk!

Vector databases help to address some of large language models (LLMs) limitations, such as hallucinations, by helping to retrieve the relevant information to provide to the LLM as a part of its input.
