# FAISS Integration with Skill Seekers
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Production Ready
|
||||
**Difficulty:** Intermediate
|
||||
**Last Updated:** February 7, 2026
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ❌ The Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Building RAG applications with FAISS involves several challenges:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Manual Index Configuration** - Choosing the right FAISS index type (Flat, IVF, HNSW, PQ) requires deep understanding
|
||||
2. **Embedding Management** - Need to generate and store embeddings separately, track document IDs manually
|
||||
3. **Billion-Scale Complexity** - Optimizing for large datasets (>1M vectors) requires index training and parameter tuning
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Pain Point:**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Manual FAISS setup for each framework
|
||||
import faiss
|
||||
import numpy as np
|
||||
from openai import OpenAI
|
||||
|
||||
# Generate embeddings
|
||||
client = OpenAI()
|
||||
embeddings = []
|
||||
for doc in documents:
|
||||
response = client.embeddings.create(
|
||||
model="text-embedding-ada-002",
|
||||
input=doc
|
||||
)
|
||||
embeddings.append(response.data[0].embedding)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create index
|
||||
dimension = 1536
|
||||
index = faiss.IndexFlatL2(dimension)
|
||||
index.add(np.array(embeddings))
|
||||
|
||||
# Save index + metadata separately (complex!)
|
||||
faiss.write_index(index, "index.faiss")
|
||||
# ... manually track which ID maps to which document
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ The Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Skill Seekers automates FAISS integration with structured, production-ready data:
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- ✅ Auto-formatted documents with consistent metadata
|
||||
- ✅ Works with LangChain FAISS wrapper for easy ID tracking
|
||||
- ✅ Supports flat (small datasets) and IVF (large datasets) indexes
|
||||
- ✅ GPU acceleration compatible (billion-scale search)
|
||||
- ✅ Serialization-ready for production deployment
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** 10-minute setup, production-ready similarity search that scales to billions of vectors.

|
||||
|
||||
### Generate FAISS-Ready Documents
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Step 1: Scrape documentation
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/react.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Step 2: Package for LangChain (FAISS-compatible)
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/react --target langchain
|
||||
|
||||
# Output: output/react-langchain.json (FAISS-ready)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Create FAISS Index with LangChain
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import json
|
||||
from langchain.vectorstores import FAISS
|
||||
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
|
||||
from langchain.schema import Document
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/react-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
# Convert to LangChain Documents
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(
|
||||
page_content=doc["page_content"],
|
||||
metadata=doc["metadata"]
|
||||
)
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Create FAISS index (embeddings generated automatically)
|
||||
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings(model="text-embedding-ada-002")
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(documents, embeddings)
|
||||
|
||||
# Save index
|
||||
vectorstore.save_local("faiss_index")
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ Created FAISS index with {len(documents)} documents")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Query FAISS Index
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from langchain.vectorstores import FAISS
|
||||
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
|
||||
|
||||
# Load index (note: only load indexes from trusted sources)
|
||||
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings(model="text-embedding-ada-002")
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.load_local("faiss_index", embeddings, allow_dangerous_deserialization=True)
|
||||
|
||||
# Similarity search
|
||||
results = vectorstore.similarity_search(
|
||||
query="How do I use React hooks?",
|
||||
k=3
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
for i, doc in enumerate(results):
|
||||
print(f"\n{i+1}. Category: {doc.metadata['category']}")
|
||||
print(f" Source: {doc.metadata['source']}")
|
||||
print(f" Content: {doc.page_content[:200]}...")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Similarity Search with Scores
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Get similarity scores
|
||||
results = vectorstore.similarity_search_with_score(
|
||||
query="React state management",
|
||||
k=5
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
for doc, score in results:
|
||||
print(f"Score: {score:.3f}")
|
||||
print(f"Category: {doc.metadata['category']}")
|
||||
print(f"Content: {doc.page_content[:150]}...")
|
||||
print()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 📖 Detailed Setup Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Choose FAISS Index Type
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: IndexFlatL2 (Exact Search, <100K vectors)**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import faiss
|
||||
|
||||
# Flat index: exact nearest neighbors (brute force)
|
||||
dimension = 1536 # OpenAI ada-002
|
||||
index = faiss.IndexFlatL2(dimension)
|
||||
|
||||
# Pros: 100% accuracy, simple
|
||||
# Cons: O(n) search time, slow for large datasets
|
||||
# Use when: <100K vectors, need perfect recall
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: IndexIVFFlat (Approximate Search, 100K-10M vectors)**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# IVF index: cluster-based approximate search
|
||||
quantizer = faiss.IndexFlatL2(dimension)
|
||||
nlist = 100 # Number of clusters
|
||||
index = faiss.IndexIVFFlat(quantizer, dimension, nlist)
|
||||
|
||||
# Train on sample data
|
||||
index.train(training_vectors) # Needs ~30*nlist training vectors
|
||||
index.add(vectors)
|
||||
|
||||
# Pros: Faster than flat, good accuracy
|
||||
# Cons: Requires training, 90-95% recall
|
||||
# Use when: 100K-10M vectors
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option C: IndexHNSWFlat (Graph-based, High Recall)**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# HNSW index: hierarchical navigable small world
|
||||
index = faiss.IndexHNSWFlat(dimension, 32) # 32 = M (graph connections)
|
||||
|
||||
# Pros: Fast, high recall (>95%), no training
|
||||
# Cons: High memory usage (3-4x flat)
|
||||
# Use when: Need speed + high recall, have memory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option D: IndexIVFPQ (Product Quantization, 10M-1B vectors)**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# IVF + PQ: compressed vectors for massive scale
|
||||
quantizer = faiss.IndexFlatL2(dimension)
|
||||
nlist = 1000
|
||||
m = 8 # Number of subvectors
|
||||
nbits = 8 # Bits per subvector
|
||||
index = faiss.IndexIVFPQ(quantizer, dimension, nlist, m, nbits)
|
||||
|
||||
# Train then add
|
||||
index.train(training_vectors)
|
||||
index.add(vectors)
|
||||
|
||||
# Pros: 16-32x memory reduction, billion-scale
|
||||
# Cons: Lower recall (80-90%), complex
|
||||
# Use when: >10M vectors, memory constrained
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Generate Skill Seekers Documents
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: Documentation Website**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/django.json
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/django --target langchain
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: GitHub Repository**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers github --repo django/django --name django
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/django --target langchain
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option C: Local Codebase**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers analyze --directory /path/to/repo
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/codebase --target langchain
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option D: RAG-Optimized Chunking**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/fastapi.json --chunk-for-rag --chunk-size 512
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/fastapi --target langchain
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Create FAISS Index (LangChain Wrapper)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import json
|
||||
from langchain.vectorstores import FAISS
|
||||
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
|
||||
from langchain.schema import Document
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/django-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Create embeddings
|
||||
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings(model="text-embedding-ada-002")
|
||||
|
||||
# For small datasets (<100K): Use default (Flat)
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(documents, embeddings)
|
||||
|
||||
# For large datasets (>100K): Use IVF
|
||||
# vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(
|
||||
# documents,
|
||||
# embeddings,
|
||||
# index_factory_string="IVF100,Flat"
|
||||
# )
|
||||
|
||||
# Save index + docstore + metadata
|
||||
vectorstore.save_local("faiss_index")
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ Created FAISS index with {len(documents)} vectors")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Query with Filtering
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Load index (only from trusted sources!)
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.load_local("faiss_index", embeddings, allow_dangerous_deserialization=True)
|
||||
|
||||
# Basic similarity search
|
||||
results = vectorstore.similarity_search(
|
||||
query="Django models tutorial",
|
||||
k=5
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Similarity search with score threshold
|
||||
results = vectorstore.similarity_search_with_relevance_scores(
|
||||
query="Django authentication",
|
||||
k=5,
|
||||
score_threshold=0.8 # Only return if relevance > 0.8
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Maximum marginal relevance (diverse results)
|
||||
results = vectorstore.max_marginal_relevance_search(
|
||||
query="React components",
|
||||
k=5,
|
||||
fetch_k=20 # Fetch 20, return top 5 diverse
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Custom filter function (post-search filtering)
|
||||
def filter_by_category(docs, category):
|
||||
return [doc for doc in docs if doc.metadata.get("category") == category]
|
||||
|
||||
results = vectorstore.similarity_search("hooks", k=20)
|
||||
filtered = filter_by_category(results, "state-management")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. GPU Acceleration (Billion-Scale Search)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import faiss
|
||||
|
||||
# Check GPU availability
|
||||
ngpus = faiss.get_num_gpus()
|
||||
print(f"GPUs available: {ngpus}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Create GPU index
|
||||
dimension = 1536
|
||||
cpu_index = faiss.IndexFlatL2(dimension)
|
||||
|
||||
# Move to GPU
|
||||
gpu_index = faiss.index_cpu_to_gpu(
|
||||
faiss.StandardGpuResources(),
|
||||
0, # GPU ID
|
||||
cpu_index
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Add vectors (on GPU)
|
||||
gpu_index.add(vectors)
|
||||
|
||||
# Search (on GPU, 10-100x faster)
|
||||
distances, indices = gpu_index.search(query_vectors, k=10)
|
||||
|
||||
# Move back to CPU for saving
|
||||
cpu_index = faiss.index_gpu_to_cpu(gpu_index)
|
||||
faiss.write_index(cpu_index, "index.faiss")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Batch Processing for Large Datasets
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import json
|
||||
from langchain.vectorstores import FAISS
|
||||
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
|
||||
from langchain.schema import Document
|
||||
|
||||
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/large-dataset-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
all_docs = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create index with first batch
|
||||
batch_size = 10000
|
||||
first_batch = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in all_docs[:batch_size]
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(first_batch, embeddings)
|
||||
print(f"Created index with {batch_size} documents")
|
||||
|
||||
# Add remaining batches
|
||||
for i in range(batch_size, len(all_docs), batch_size):
|
||||
batch = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in all_docs[i:i+batch_size]
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
vectorstore.add_documents(batch)
|
||||
print(f"Added documents {i} to {i+len(batch)}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Save final index
|
||||
vectorstore.save_local("large_faiss_index")
|
||||
print(f"✅ Final index size: {len(all_docs)} documents")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Index Merging for Multi-Source
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Create separate indexes for different sources
|
||||
vectorstore1 = FAISS.from_documents(docs1, embeddings)
|
||||
vectorstore2 = FAISS.from_documents(docs2, embeddings)
|
||||
vectorstore3 = FAISS.from_documents(docs3, embeddings)
|
||||
|
||||
# Merge indexes
|
||||
vectorstore1.merge_from(vectorstore2)
|
||||
vectorstore1.merge_from(vectorstore3)
|
||||
|
||||
# Save merged index
|
||||
vectorstore1.save_local("merged_index")
|
||||
|
||||
# Query combined index
|
||||
results = vectorstore1.similarity_search("query", k=10)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Choose Index Type by Dataset Size
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# <100K vectors: Flat (exact search)
|
||||
if num_vectors < 100_000:
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(documents, embeddings)
|
||||
|
||||
# 100K-1M vectors: IVF
|
||||
elif num_vectors < 1_000_000:
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(
|
||||
documents,
|
||||
embeddings,
|
||||
index_factory_string="IVF100,Flat"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# 1M-10M vectors: IVF + PQ
|
||||
elif num_vectors < 10_000_000:
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(
|
||||
documents,
|
||||
embeddings,
|
||||
index_factory_string="IVF1000,PQ8"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# >10M vectors: GPU + IVF + PQ
|
||||
else:
|
||||
# Use GPU acceleration
|
||||
pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Only Load Indexes from Trusted Sources
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# ⚠️ SECURITY: Only load indexes you trust!
|
||||
# The allow_dangerous_deserialization flag exists because
|
||||
# LangChain uses Python's serialization which can execute code
|
||||
|
||||
# ✅ Safe: Your own indexes
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.load_local("my_index", embeddings, allow_dangerous_deserialization=True)
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ Dangerous: Unknown indexes from internet
|
||||
# vectorstore = FAISS.load_local("untrusted_index", ...) # DON'T DO THIS
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Use Batch Embedding Generation
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from openai import OpenAI
|
||||
|
||||
client = OpenAI()
|
||||
|
||||
# ✅ Good: Batch API (2048 texts per call)
|
||||
texts = [doc["page_content"] for doc in documents]
|
||||
|
||||
embeddings = []
|
||||
batch_size = 2048
|
||||
|
||||
for i in range(0, len(texts), batch_size):
|
||||
batch = texts[i:i + batch_size]
|
||||
response = client.embeddings.create(
|
||||
model="text-embedding-ada-002",
|
||||
input=batch
|
||||
)
|
||||
embeddings.extend([e.embedding for e in response.data])
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ Bad: One at a time (slow!)
|
||||
for text in texts:
|
||||
response = client.embeddings.create(model="text-embedding-ada-002", input=text)
|
||||
embeddings.append(response.data[0].embedding)
|
||||
```
|
||||

## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Index Too Large for Memory
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** "MemoryError" when loading index with 10M+ vectors
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use Product Quantization:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Compress vectors 32x
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(
|
||||
documents,
|
||||
embeddings,
|
||||
index_factory_string="IVF1000,PQ8"
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Use GPU:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Move to GPU memory
|
||||
gpu_index = faiss.index_cpu_to_gpu(faiss.StandardGpuResources(), 0, cpu_index)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Slow Search on Large Index
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Search takes >1 second on 1M+ vectors
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use IVF index:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(
|
||||
documents,
|
||||
embeddings,
|
||||
index_factory_string="IVF100,Flat"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Tune nprobe
|
||||
vectorstore.index.nprobe = 10 # Balance speed/accuracy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **GPU acceleration:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
gpu_index = faiss.index_cpu_to_gpu(faiss.StandardGpuResources(), 0, index)
|
||||
```

# Using Skill Seekers with Haystack
|
||||
|
||||
**Last Updated:** February 7, 2026
|
||||
**Status:** Production Ready
|
||||
**Difficulty:** Easy ⭐
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 The Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications with Haystack requires high-quality, structured documentation for your document stores and pipelines. Manually scraping and preparing documentation is:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Time-Consuming** - Hours spent scraping docs, formatting, and structuring
|
||||
- **Error-Prone** - Inconsistent formatting, missing metadata, broken references
|
||||
- **Not Scalable** - Multi-language docs and large frameworks are overwhelming
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
> "When building an enterprise RAG system for FastAPI documentation with Haystack, you need to scrape 300+ pages, structure them with proper metadata, and prepare for multi-language search. This typically takes 6-8 hours of manual work."
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✨ The Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Use Skill Seekers as **essential preprocessing** before Haystack:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Generate Haystack Documents** from any documentation source
|
||||
2. **Pre-structured with metadata** following Haystack 2.x format
|
||||
3. **Ready for document stores** (InMemoryDocumentStore, Elasticsearch, Weaviate)
|
||||
4. **One command** - scrape, structure, format in minutes
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:**
|
||||
Skill Seekers outputs JSON files with Haystack Document format (`content` + `meta`), ready to load directly into your Haystack pipelines.

|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Start (5 Minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
- Python 3.10+
|
||||
- Haystack 2.x installed: `pip install haystack-ai`
|
||||
- Optional: Embeddings library (e.g., `sentence-transformers`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install Skill Seekers
|
||||
pip install skill-seekers
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify installation
|
||||
skill-seekers --version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Generate Haystack Documents
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Example: Django framework documentation
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/django.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Package as Haystack Documents
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/django --target haystack
|
||||
|
||||
# Output: output/django-haystack.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Load into Haystack
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from haystack import Document
|
||||
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
|
||||
from haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/django-haystack.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
# Convert to Haystack Documents
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(content=doc["content"], meta=doc["meta"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Loaded {len(documents)} documents")
|
||||
|
||||
# Create document store
|
||||
document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
|
||||
document_store.write_documents(documents)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create retriever
|
||||
retriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)
|
||||
|
||||
# Query
|
||||
results = retriever.run(query="How do I create Django models?", top_k=3)
|
||||
for doc in results["documents"]:
|
||||
print(f"\n{doc.meta['category']}: {doc.content[:200]}...")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📖 Detailed Setup Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Choose Your Documentation Source
|
||||
|
||||
Skill Seekers supports multiple documentation sources:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Official framework documentation
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/fastapi.json
|
||||
|
||||
# GitHub repository
|
||||
skill-seekers github --repo tiangolo/fastapi
|
||||
|
||||
# PDF documentation
|
||||
skill-seekers pdf --file docs/manual.pdf
|
||||
|
||||
# Combine multiple sources
|
||||
skill-seekers unified \
|
||||
--docs https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/ \
|
||||
--github tiangolo/fastapi \
|
||||
--output output/fastapi-complete
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Configure Scraping (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Create a custom config for your documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-framework",
|
||||
"base_url": "https://docs.example.com/",
|
||||
"selectors": {
|
||||
"main_content": "article.documentation",
|
||||
"title": "h1.page-title",
|
||||
"code_blocks": "pre code"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"categories": {
|
||||
"getting_started": ["intro", "quickstart", "installation"],
|
||||
"guides": ["tutorial", "guide", "howto"],
|
||||
"api": ["api", "reference"]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"max_pages": 500,
|
||||
"rate_limit": 0.5
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Save as `configs/my-framework.json` and use:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/my-framework.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Package for Haystack
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate Haystack Documents
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/my-framework --target haystack
|
||||
|
||||
# With semantic chunking for better retrieval
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/my-framework.json --chunk-for-rag
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/my-framework --target haystack
|
||||
|
||||
# Output files:
|
||||
# - output/my-framework-haystack.json (Haystack Documents)
|
||||
# - output/my-framework/rag_chunks.json (if chunking enabled)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Load into Haystack Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: InMemoryDocumentStore (Development)**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from haystack import Document
|
||||
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
|
||||
from haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/my-framework-haystack.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(content=doc["content"], meta=doc["meta"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Create in-memory store
|
||||
document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
|
||||
document_store.write_documents(documents)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create BM25 retriever
|
||||
retriever = InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)
|
||||
|
||||
# Query
|
||||
results = retriever.run(query="your question", top_k=5)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: Elasticsearch (Production)**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from haystack import Document
|
||||
from haystack.document_stores.elasticsearch import ElasticsearchDocumentStore
|
||||
from haystack.components.retrievers.elasticsearch import ElasticsearchBM25Retriever
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
# Connect to Elasticsearch
|
||||
document_store = ElasticsearchDocumentStore(
|
||||
hosts=["http://localhost:9200"],
|
||||
index="my-framework-docs"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Load and write documents
|
||||
with open("output/my-framework-haystack.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(content=doc["content"], meta=doc["meta"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
document_store.write_documents(documents)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create retriever
|
||||
retriever = ElasticsearchBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option C: Weaviate (Hybrid Search)**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from haystack import Document
|
||||
from haystack.document_stores.weaviate import WeaviateDocumentStore
|
||||
from haystack.components.retrievers.weaviate import WeaviateHybridRetriever
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
# Connect to Weaviate
|
||||
document_store = WeaviateDocumentStore(
|
||||
host="http://localhost:8080",
|
||||
index="MyFrameworkDocs"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/my-framework-haystack.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(content=doc["content"], meta=doc["meta"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Write with embeddings
|
||||
from haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder
|
||||
|
||||
embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(
|
||||
model="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
|
||||
)
|
||||
embedder.warm_up()
|
||||
|
||||
docs_with_embeddings = embedder.run(documents)
|
||||
document_store.write_documents(docs_with_embeddings["documents"])
|
||||
|
||||
# Create hybrid retriever (BM25 + vector)
|
||||
retriever = WeaviateHybridRetriever(document_store=document_store)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Build RAG Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from haystack import Pipeline
|
||||
from haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder
|
||||
from haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator
|
||||
|
||||
# Create RAG pipeline
|
||||
rag_pipeline = Pipeline()
|
||||
|
||||
# Add components
|
||||
rag_pipeline.add_component("retriever", retriever)
|
||||
rag_pipeline.add_component(
|
||||
"prompt_builder",
|
||||
PromptBuilder(
|
||||
template="""
|
||||
Based on the following documentation, answer the question.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation:
|
||||
{% for doc in documents %}
|
||||
{{ doc.content }}
|
||||
{% endfor %}
|
||||
|
||||
Question: {{ question }}
|
||||
|
||||
Answer:
|
||||
"""
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
rag_pipeline.add_component(
|
||||
"llm",
|
||||
OpenAIGenerator(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Connect components
|
||||
rag_pipeline.connect("retriever", "prompt_builder.documents")
|
||||
rag_pipeline.connect("prompt_builder", "llm")
|
||||
|
||||
# Run pipeline
|
||||
response = rag_pipeline.run({
|
||||
"retriever": {"query": "How do I deploy my app?"},
|
||||
"prompt_builder": {"question": "How do I deploy my app?"}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
print(response["llm"]["replies"][0])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔥 Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Semantic Chunking for Better Retrieval
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Enable semantic chunking (preserves code blocks, respects paragraphs)
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/django.json \
|
||||
--chunk-for-rag \
|
||||
--chunk-size 512 \
|
||||
--chunk-overlap 50
|
||||
|
||||
# Package chunked output
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/django --target haystack
|
||||
|
||||
# Result: Smaller, more focused documents for better retrieval
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multi-Source RAG System
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Combine official docs + GitHub issues + PDF guides
|
||||
skill-seekers unified \
|
||||
--docs https://docs.example.com/ \
|
||||
--github owner/repo \
|
||||
--pdf guides/*.pdf \
|
||||
--output output/complete-knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/complete-knowledge --target haystack
|
||||
|
||||
# Detect conflicts between sources
|
||||
skill-seekers detect-conflicts output/complete-knowledge
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Metadata for Filtering
|
||||
|
||||
Haystack Documents include rich metadata for filtering:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Query with metadata filters
|
||||
from haystack.dataclasses import Document
|
||||
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
|
||||
|
||||
# Filter by category
|
||||
results = retriever.run(
|
||||
query="deployment",
|
||||
top_k=5,
|
||||
filters={"field": "category", "operator": "==", "value": "guides"}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Filter by version
|
||||
results = retriever.run(
|
||||
query="api reference",
|
||||
filters={"field": "version", "operator": "==", "value": "2.0"}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Multiple filters
|
||||
results = retriever.run(
|
||||
query="authentication",
|
||||
filters={
|
||||
"operator": "AND",
|
||||
"conditions": [
|
||||
{"field": "category", "operator": "==", "value": "api"},
|
||||
{"field": "type", "operator": "==", "value": "reference"}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Embedding-Based Retrieval
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from haystack.components.embedders import (
|
||||
SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder,
|
||||
SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder
|
||||
)
|
||||
from haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever
|
||||
|
||||
# Embed documents
|
||||
doc_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(
|
||||
model="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
|
||||
)
|
||||
doc_embedder.warm_up()
|
||||
|
||||
docs_with_embeddings = doc_embedder.run(documents)
|
||||
document_store.write_documents(docs_with_embeddings["documents"])
|
||||
|
||||
# Create embedding retriever
|
||||
text_embedder = SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder(
|
||||
model="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
|
||||
)
|
||||
text_embedder.warm_up()
|
||||
|
||||
retriever = InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store)
|
||||
|
||||
# Query with embeddings
|
||||
query_embedding = text_embedder.run("How do I deploy?")
|
||||
results = retriever.run(
|
||||
query_embedding=query_embedding["embedding"],
|
||||
top_k=5
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Incremental Updates
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Initial scrape
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/fastapi.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Later: Update only changed pages
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/fastapi.json --skip-existing
|
||||
|
||||
# Merge with existing documents
|
||||
python scripts/merge_documents.py \
|
||||
output/fastapi-haystack.json \
|
||||
output/fastapi-haystack-new.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Use Semantic Chunking for Large Docs
|
||||
|
||||
**Why:** Better retrieval quality, more focused results
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Enable chunking for frameworks with long pages
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/django.json \
|
||||
--chunk-for-rag \
|
||||
--chunk-size 512 \
|
||||
--chunk-overlap 50
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Choose Right Document Store
|
||||
|
||||
**Development:**
|
||||
- InMemoryDocumentStore - Fast, no setup
|
||||
|
||||
**Production:**
|
||||
- Elasticsearch - Full-text search, scalable
|
||||
- Weaviate - Hybrid search (BM25 + vector), multi-modal
|
||||
- Qdrant - High-performance vector search
|
||||
- Opensearch - AWS-managed, cost-effective
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Add Metadata Filters
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Always include category in queries for faster results
|
||||
results = retriever.run(
|
||||
query="database models",
|
||||
filters={"field": "category", "operator": "==", "value": "guides"}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Monitor Retrieval Quality
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Test queries and verify relevance
|
||||
test_queries = [
|
||||
"How do I create a model?",
|
||||
"What is the deployment process?",
|
||||
"How to handle authentication?"
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
for query in test_queries:
|
||||
results = retriever.run(query=query, top_k=3)
|
||||
print(f"\nQuery: {query}")
|
||||
for i, doc in enumerate(results["documents"], 1):
|
||||
print(f"{i}. {doc.meta['file']} - {doc.meta['category']}")

## 💼 Real-World Example: FastAPI RAG Chatbot
|
||||
|
||||
Complete example of building a FastAPI documentation chatbot:
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Generate Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Scrape FastAPI docs with chunking
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/fastapi.json \
|
||||
--chunk-for-rag \
|
||||
--chunk-size 512 \
|
||||
--chunk-overlap 50 \
|
||||
--max-pages 200
|
||||
|
||||
# Package for Haystack
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/fastapi --target haystack
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Setup Haystack Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from haystack import Pipeline, Document
|
||||
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
|
||||
from haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryBM25Retriever
|
||||
from haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder
|
||||
from haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator
|
||||
import json
|
||||
import os
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/fastapi-haystack.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(content=doc["content"], meta=doc["meta"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Loaded {len(documents)} FastAPI documentation chunks")
|
||||
|
||||
# Create document store
|
||||
document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
|
||||
document_store.write_documents(documents)
|
||||
print(f"Indexed {document_store.count_documents()} documents")
|
||||
|
||||
# Build RAG pipeline
|
||||
rag = Pipeline()
|
||||
|
||||
# Add components
|
||||
rag.add_component(
|
||||
"retriever",
|
||||
InMemoryBM25Retriever(document_store=document_store)
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
rag.add_component(
|
||||
"prompt",
|
||||
PromptBuilder(
|
||||
template="""

|
||||
"""
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
rag.add_component(
|
||||
"llm",
|
||||
OpenAIGenerator(
|
||||
api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
|
||||
model="gpt-4"
|
||||
)
|

rag.connect("retriever.documents", "prompt.documents")
|
||||
rag.connect("prompt.prompt", "llm.prompt")
|
||||
|
||||
print("Pipeline ready!")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Interactive Chat

||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def ask_fastapi(question: str, top_k: int = 5):
|
||||
"""Ask a question about FastAPI."""
|
||||
response = rag.run({
|
||||
"retriever": {"query": question, "top_k": top_k},
|
||||
"prompt": {"question": question}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
answer = response["llm"]["replies"][0]
|
||||
print(f"\nQuestion: {question}\n")
|
||||
print(f"Answer: {answer}\n")
|
||||
|
||||
# Show sources
|
||||
docs = response["retriever"]["documents"]
|
||||
print("Sources:")
|
||||
for doc in docs:
|
||||
print(f" - {doc.meta['file']} ({doc.meta['category']})")
|
||||
|
||||
# Example usage
|
||||
ask_fastapi("How do I create a REST API endpoint?")
|
||||
ask_fastapi("What is dependency injection in FastAPI?")
|
||||
ask_fastapi("How do I handle file uploads?")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Deploy with FastAPI
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from fastapi import FastAPI
|
||||
from pydantic import BaseModel
|
||||
|
||||
app = FastAPI()
|
||||
|
||||
class Question(BaseModel):
|
||||
text: str
|
||||
top_k: int = 5
|
||||
|
||||
@app.post("/ask")
|
||||
async def ask_question(question: Question):
|
||||
"""Ask a question about FastAPI documentation."""
|
||||
response = rag.run({
|
||||
"retriever": {"query": question.text, "top_k": question.top_k},
|
||||
"prompt": {"question": question.text}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
"question": question.text,
|
||||
"answer": response["llm"]["replies"][0],
|
||||
"sources": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"file": doc.meta["file"],
|
||||
"category": doc.meta["category"],
|
||||
"content_preview": doc.content[:200]
|
||||
}
|
||||
for doc in response["retriever"]["documents"]
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Run: uvicorn chatbot:app --reload
|
||||
# Test: curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/ask \
|
||||
# -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
# -d '{"text": "How do I use async functions?"}'
|

## 🔧 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Documents not loading correctly
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:** Empty content, missing metadata
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify JSON structure
|
||||
jq '.[0]' output/fastapi-haystack.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Should show:
|
||||
# {
|
||||
# "content": "...",
|
||||
# "meta": {
|
||||
# "source": "fastapi",
|
||||
# "category": "...",
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
# }
|
||||
# }
|
||||
|
||||
# Regenerate if malformed
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/fastapi --target haystack --force
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Poor retrieval quality
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:** Irrelevant results, missed relevant docs
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Enable semantic chunking
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/fastapi.json --chunk-for-rag
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Adjust chunk size
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/fastapi.json \
|
||||
--chunk-for-rag \
|
||||
--chunk-size 768 \ # Larger chunks for more context
|
||||
--chunk-overlap 100 # More overlap for continuity
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Use hybrid search (BM25 + embeddings)
|
||||
# See Advanced Usage section
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: OutOfMemoryError with large docs
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:** Crash when loading thousands of documents
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Load documents in batches
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
def load_documents_batched(file_path, batch_size=100):
|
||||
with open(file_path) as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
for i in range(0, len(docs_data), batch_size):
|
||||
batch = docs_data[i:i+batch_size]
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(content=doc["content"], meta=doc["meta"])
|
||||
for doc in batch
|
||||
]
|
||||
document_store.write_documents(documents)
|
||||
print(f"Loaded batch {i//batch_size + 1}")
|
||||
|
||||
load_documents_batched("output/large-framework-haystack.json")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Haystack version compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:** Import errors, method not found
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check Haystack version
|
||||
pip show haystack-ai
|
||||
|
||||
# Skill Seekers requires Haystack 2.x
|
||||
pip install --upgrade "haystack-ai>=2.0.0"
|
||||
|
||||
# For Haystack 1.x (legacy), use markdown export instead:
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/framework --target markdown
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Slow query performance
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:** Queries take >2 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# 1. Reduce top_k
|
||||
results = retriever.run(query="...", top_k=3) # Instead of 10
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Add metadata filters
|
||||
results = retriever.run(
|
||||
query="...",
|
||||
filters={"field": "category", "operator": "==", "value": "api"}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Use InMemoryDocumentStore for development
|
||||
# Switch to Elasticsearch for production scale
|
||||
```

# Qdrant Integration with Skill Seekers
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Production Ready
|
||||
**Difficulty:** Intermediate
|
||||
**Last Updated:** February 7, 2026
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ❌ The Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Building RAG applications with Qdrant involves several challenges:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Collection Schema Complexity** - Defining vector configurations, payload schemas, and distance metrics requires understanding Qdrant's data model
|
||||
2. **Payload Filtering Setup** - Rich metadata filtering requires proper payload indexing and field types
|
||||
3. **Deployment Options** - Choosing between local, Docker, cloud, or cluster mode adds configuration overhead
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Pain Point:**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Manual Qdrant setup for each framework
|
||||
from qdrant_client import QdrantClient
|
||||
from qdrant_client.models import Distance, VectorParams, PointStruct
|
||||
from openai import OpenAI
|
||||
|
||||
# Create client + collection
|
||||
client = QdrantClient(url="http://localhost:6333")
|
||||
client.create_collection(
|
||||
collection_name="react_docs",
|
||||
vectors_config=VectorParams(size=1536, distance=Distance.COSINE),
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Generate embeddings manually
|
||||
openai_client = OpenAI()
|
||||
points = []
|
||||
for i, doc in enumerate(documents):
|
||||
response = openai_client.embeddings.create(
|
||||
model="text-embedding-ada-002",
|
||||
input=doc
|
||||
)
|
||||
points.append(PointStruct(
|
||||
id=i,
|
||||
vector=response.data[0].embedding,
|
||||
payload={"text": doc[:1000], "metadata": {...}} # Manual metadata
|
||||
))
|
||||
|
||||
# Upload points
|
||||
client.upsert(collection_name="react_docs", points=points)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ The Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Skill Seekers automates Qdrant integration with structured, production-ready data:
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- ✅ Auto-formatted documents with rich payload metadata
|
||||
- ✅ Consistent collection structure across all frameworks
|
||||
- ✅ Works with Qdrant Cloud, self-hosted, or Docker
|
||||
- ✅ Advanced filtering with indexed payloads
|
||||
- ✅ High-performance Rust engine (10K+ QPS)
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** 10-minute setup, production-ready vector search with enterprise performance.

for i, doc in enumerate(documents):
|
||||
# Generate embedding
|
||||
response = openai_client.embeddings.create(
|
||||
model="text-embedding-ada-002",
|
||||
input=doc["page_content"]
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create point with payload
|
||||
points.append(PointStruct(
|
||||
id=i,
|
||||
vector=response.data[0].embedding,
|
||||
payload={
|
||||
"content": doc["page_content"],
|
||||
"source": doc["metadata"]["source"],
|
||||
"category": doc["metadata"]["category"],
|
||||
"file": doc["metadata"]["file"],
|
||||
"type": doc["metadata"]["type"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
))
|
||||
|
||||
# Batch upload every 100 points
|
||||
if len(points) >= 100:
|
||||
client.upsert(collection_name=collection_name, points=points)
|
||||
points = []
|
||||
print(f"Uploaded {i + 1} documents...")
|
||||
|
||||
# Upload remaining
|
||||
if points:
|
||||
client.upsert(collection_name=collection_name, points=points)
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ Uploaded {len(documents)} documents to Qdrant")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Query with Filters

|
||||
query_vector=query_embedding,
|
||||
limit=3,
|
||||
query_filter={
|
||||
"must": [
|
||||
{"key": "category", "match": {"value": "hooks"}}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
for result in results:
|
||||
print(f"Score: {result.score:.3f}")
|
||||
print(f"Category: {result.payload['category']}")
|
||||
print(f"Content: {result.payload['content'][:200]}...")
|

|
||||
### Step 3: Create Collection with Payload Schema
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from qdrant_client import QdrantClient
|
||||
from qdrant_client.models import Distance, VectorParams, PayloadSchemaType
|
||||
|
||||
client = QdrantClient(url="http://localhost:6333")
|
||||
|
||||
# Create collection with vector config
|
||||
client.recreate_collection(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
vectors_config=VectorParams(
|
||||
size=1536, # OpenAI ada-002 dimension
|
||||
distance=Distance.COSINE # or EUCLID, DOT
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create payload indexes for filtering (optional but recommended)
|
||||
client.create_payload_index(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
field_name="category",
|
||||
field_schema=PayloadSchemaType.KEYWORD
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
client.create_payload_index(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
field_name="source",
|
||||
field_schema=PayloadSchemaType.KEYWORD
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
print("✅ Collection created with payload indexes")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Batch Upload with Progress
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import json
|
||||
from qdrant_client import QdrantClient
|
||||
from qdrant_client.models import PointStruct
|
||||
from openai import OpenAI
|
||||
|
||||
client = QdrantClient(url="http://localhost:6333")
|
||||
openai_client = OpenAI()
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/django-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
documents = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
# Batch upload with progress
|
||||
batch_size = 100
|
||||
collection_name = "documentation"
|
||||
|
||||
for i in range(0, len(documents), batch_size):
|
||||
batch = documents[i:i + batch_size]
|
||||
points = []
|
||||
|
||||
for j, doc in enumerate(batch):
|
||||
# Generate embedding
|
||||
response = openai_client.embeddings.create(
|
||||
model="text-embedding-ada-002",
|
||||
input=doc["page_content"]
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create point
|
||||
points.append(PointStruct(
|
||||
id=i + j,
|
||||
vector=response.data[0].embedding,
|
||||
payload={
|
||||
"content": doc["page_content"],
|
||||
"source": doc["metadata"]["source"],
|
||||
"category": doc["metadata"]["category"],
|
||||
"file": doc["metadata"]["file"],
|
||||
"type": doc["metadata"]["type"],
|
||||
"url": doc["metadata"].get("url", "")
|
||||
}
|
||||
))
|
||||
|
||||
# Upload batch
|
||||
client.upsert(collection_name=collection_name, points=points)
|
||||
print(f"Uploaded {min(i + batch_size, len(documents))}/{len(documents)}...")
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ Uploaded {len(documents)} documents to Qdrant")
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify upload
|
||||
info = client.get_collection(collection_name)
|
||||
print(f"Collection size: {info.points_count}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Advanced Querying
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from qdrant_client.models import Filter, FieldCondition, MatchValue
|
||||
from openai import OpenAI
|
||||
|
||||
openai_client = OpenAI()
|
||||
|
||||
# Generate query embedding
|
||||
query = "How do I use Django models?"
|
||||
response = openai_client.embeddings.create(
|
||||
model="text-embedding-ada-002",
|
||||
input=query
|
||||
)
|
||||
query_embedding = response.data[0].embedding
|
||||
|
||||
# Simple search
|
||||
results = client.search(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
query_vector=query_embedding,
|
||||
limit=5
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Search with single filter
|
||||
results = client.search(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
query_vector=query_embedding,
|
||||
limit=5,
|
||||
query_filter=Filter(
|
||||
must=[
|
||||
FieldCondition(
|
||||
key="category",
|
||||
match=MatchValue(value="models")
|
||||
)
|
||||
]
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Search with multiple filters (AND logic)
|
||||
results = client.search(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
query_vector=query_embedding,
|
||||
limit=5,
|
||||
query_filter=Filter(
|
||||
must=[
|
||||
FieldCondition(key="category", match=MatchValue(value="models")),
|
||||
FieldCondition(key="type", match=MatchValue(value="tutorial"))
|
||||
]
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Search with OR logic
|
||||
results = client.search(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
query_vector=query_embedding,
|
||||
limit=5,
|
||||
query_filter=Filter(
|
||||
should=[
|
||||
FieldCondition(key="category", match=MatchValue(value="models")),
|
||||
FieldCondition(key="category", match=MatchValue(value="views"))
|
||||
]
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Extract results
|
||||
for result in results:
|
||||
print(f"Score: {result.score:.3f}")
|
||||
print(f"Category: {result.payload['category']}")
|
||||
print(f"Content: {result.payload['content'][:200]}...")
|
||||
print()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Named Vectors for Multi-Model Embeddings
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from qdrant_client.models import VectorParams, Distance
|
||||
|
||||
# Create collection with multiple vector spaces
|
||||
client.recreate_collection(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
vectors_config={
|
||||
"text-ada-002": VectorParams(size=1536, distance=Distance.COSINE),
|
||||
"cohere-v3": VectorParams(size=1024, distance=Distance.COSINE)
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Upload with multiple vectors
|
||||
point = PointStruct(
|
||||
id=1,
|
||||
vector={
|
||||
"text-ada-002": openai_embedding,
|
||||
"cohere-v3": cohere_embedding
|
||||
},
|
||||
payload={"content": "..."}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Search specific vector
|
||||
results = client.search(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
query_vector=("text-ada-002", query_embedding),
|
||||
limit=5
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Scroll API for Large Result Sets
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Retrieve all points matching filter (pagination)
|
||||
offset = None
|
||||
all_results = []
|
||||
|
||||
while True:
|
||||
results = client.scroll(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
scroll_filter=Filter(
|
||||
must=[FieldCondition(key="category", match=MatchValue(value="api"))]
|
||||
),
|
||||
limit=100,
|
||||
offset=offset
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
points, next_offset = results
|
||||
all_results.extend(points)
|
||||
|
||||
if next_offset is None:
|
||||
break
|
||||
offset = next_offset
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Retrieved {len(all_results)} total points")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Snapshot and Backup
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Create snapshot
|
||||
snapshot_info = client.create_snapshot(collection_name="documentation")
|
||||
snapshot_name = snapshot_info.name
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Created snapshot: {snapshot_name}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Download snapshot
|
||||
client.download_snapshot(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
snapshot_name=snapshot_name,
|
||||
output_path=f"./backups/{snapshot_name}"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Restore from snapshot
|
||||
client.restore_snapshot(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
snapshot_path=f"./backups/{snapshot_name}"
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Clustering and Sharding
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Create collection with sharding
|
||||
from qdrant_client.models import ShardingMethod
|
||||
|
||||
client.recreate_collection(
|
||||
collection_name="large_docs",
|
||||
vectors_config=VectorParams(size=1536, distance=Distance.COSINE),
|
||||
shard_number=4, # Distribute across 4 shards
|
||||
sharding_method=ShardingMethod.AUTO
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Points automatically distributed across shards
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Recommendation API
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Find similar documents to existing ones
|
||||
results = client.recommend(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
positive=[1, 5, 10], # Point IDs to find similar to
|
||||
negative=[15], # Point IDs to avoid
|
||||
limit=5
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Recommend with filters
|
||||
results = client.recommend(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
positive=[1, 5, 10],
|
||||
limit=5,
|
||||
query_filter=Filter(
|
||||
must=[FieldCondition(key="category", match=MatchValue(value="hooks"))]
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Create Payload Indexes for Frequent Filters
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Index fields you filter on frequently
|
||||
client.create_payload_index(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
field_name="category",
|
||||
field_schema=PayloadSchemaType.KEYWORD
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Dramatically speeds up filtered search
|
||||
# Before: 500ms, After: 10ms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Choose the Right Distance Metric
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Cosine: Best for normalized embeddings (OpenAI, Cohere)
|
||||
vectors_config=VectorParams(size=1536, distance=Distance.COSINE)
|
||||
|
||||
# Euclidean: For absolute distances
|
||||
vectors_config=VectorParams(size=1536, distance=Distance.EUCLID)
|
||||
|
||||
# Dot Product: For unnormalized vectors
|
||||
vectors_config=VectorParams(size=1536, distance=Distance.DOT)
|
||||
|
||||
# Recommendation: Use COSINE for most cases
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Use Batch Upsert for Performance
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# ✅ Good: Batch upsert (100-1000 points)
|
||||
points = [...] # 100 points
|
||||
client.upsert(collection_name="docs", points=points)
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ Bad: One at a time (slow!)
|
||||
for point in points:
|
||||
client.upsert(collection_name="docs", points=[point])
|
||||
|
||||
# Batch is 10-100x faster
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Monitor Collection Stats
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Get collection info
|
||||
info = client.get_collection("documentation")
|
||||
print(f"Points: {info.points_count}")
|
||||
print(f"Vectors: {info.vectors_count}")
|
||||
print(f"Indexed: {info.indexed_vectors_count}")
|
||||
print(f"Status: {info.status}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Check cluster info
|
||||
cluster_info = client.get_cluster_info()
|
||||
print(f"Peers: {len(cluster_info.peers)}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Use Wait Parameter for Consistency
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Ensure point is indexed before returning
|
||||
from qdrant_client.models import UpdateStatus
|
||||
|
||||
result = client.upsert(
|
||||
collection_name="documentation",
|
||||
points=points,
|
||||
wait=True # Wait until indexed
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
assert result.status == UpdateStatus.COMPLETED
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Connection Refused
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** "Connection refused at http://localhost:6333"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check Qdrant is running:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl http://localhost:6333/healthz
|
||||
docker ps | grep qdrant
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Verify ports:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# API: 6333, gRPC: 6334
|
||||
lsof -i :6333
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Check Docker logs:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker logs <qdrant-container-id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Point Upload Failed
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** "Point with id X already exists"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use upsert instead of upload:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Upsert replaces existing points
|
||||
client.upsert(collection_name="docs", points=points)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Delete and recreate:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
client.delete_collection("docs")
|
||||
client.recreate_collection(...)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Slow Filtered Search
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Filtered queries take >1 second
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create payload index:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
client.create_payload_index(
|
||||
collection_name="docs",
|
||||
field_name="category",
|
||||
field_schema="keyword"
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Check index status:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
info = client.get_collection("docs")
|
||||
print(f"Indexed: {info.indexed_vectors_count}/{info.points_count}")
|
||||
```

|
||||
| **Performance** | 10K+ QPS (Rust engine) | 10K+ QPS (same, but easier setup) |
|
||||
| **Setup Time** | 3-5 hours | 10 minutes |
|
||||
| **Code Required** | 400+ lines | 30 lines upload script |

# Weaviate Integration with Skill Seekers
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Production Ready
|
||||
**Difficulty:** Intermediate
|
||||
**Last Updated:** February 7, 2026
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ❌ The Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Building RAG applications with Weaviate involves several challenges:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Manual Data Schema Design** - Need to define GraphQL schemas and object properties manually for each documentation project
|
||||
2. **Complex Hybrid Search** - Setting up both BM25 keyword search and vector search requires understanding Weaviate's query language
|
||||
3. **Multi-Tenancy Configuration** - Properly isolating different documentation sets requires tenant management
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Pain Point:**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Manual schema creation for each framework
|
||||
client.schema.create_class({
|
||||
"class": "ReactDocs",
|
||||
"properties": [
|
||||
{"name": "content", "dataType": ["text"]},
|
||||
{"name": "category", "dataType": ["string"]},
|
||||
{"name": "source", "dataType": ["string"]},
|
||||
# ... 10+ more properties
|
||||
],
|
||||
"vectorizer": "text2vec-openai",
|
||||
"moduleConfig": {
|
||||
"text2vec-openai": {"model": "ada-002"}
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ The Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Skill Seekers automates Weaviate integration with structured, production-ready data:
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- ✅ Auto-formatted objects with all metadata properties
|
||||
- ✅ Consistent schema across all frameworks
|
||||
- ✅ Compatible with hybrid search (BM25 + vector)
|
||||
- ✅ Works with Weaviate Cloud Services (WCS) and self-hosted
|
||||
- ✅ Supports multi-tenancy for documentation isolation
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** 10-minute setup, production-ready vector search with enterprise features.

pip install skill-seekers[all-llms]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What you need:**
|
||||
- Weaviate instance (WCS or self-hosted)
|
||||
- Weaviate API key (if using WCS)
|
||||
- OpenAI API key (for embeddings)

|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/react.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Step 2: Package for Weaviate (creates LangChain format)
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/react --target langchain
|
||||
|
||||
# Output: output/react-langchain.json (Weaviate-compatible)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Upload to Weaviate
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import weaviate
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
# Connect to Weaviate
|
||||
client = weaviate.Client(
|
||||
url="https://your-instance.weaviate.network",
|
||||
auth_client_secret=weaviate.AuthApiKey(api_key="your-api-key"),
|
||||
additional_headers={
|
||||
"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": "your-openai-key"
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create schema (first time only)
|
||||
client.schema.create_class({
|
||||
"class": "Documentation",
|
||||
"vectorizer": "text2vec-openai",
|
||||
"moduleConfig": {
|
||||
"text2vec-openai": {"model": "ada-002"}
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/react-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
documents = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
# Batch upload
|
||||
with client.batch as batch:
|
||||
for i, doc in enumerate(documents):
|
||||
properties = {
|
||||
"content": doc["page_content"],
|
||||
"source": doc["metadata"]["source"],
|
||||
"category": doc["metadata"]["category"],
|
||||
"file": doc["metadata"]["file"],
|
||||
"type": doc["metadata"]["type"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
batch.add_data_object(properties, "Documentation")
|
||||
|
||||
if (i + 1) % 100 == 0:
|
||||
print(f"Uploaded {i + 1} documents...")
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ Uploaded {len(documents)} documents to Weaviate")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Query with Hybrid Search
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Hybrid search: BM25 + vector similarity
|
||||
result = client.query.get("Documentation", ["content", "category"]) \
|
||||
.with_hybrid(
|
||||
query="How do I use React hooks?",
|
||||
alpha=0.75 # 0=BM25 only, 1=vector only, 0.5=balanced
|
||||
) \
|
||||
.with_limit(3) \
|
||||
.do()
|
||||
|
||||
for item in result["data"]["Get"]["Documentation"]:
|
||||
print(f"Category: {item['category']}")
|
||||
print(f"Content: {item['content'][:200]}...")
|
||||
print()
|
||||
```

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Create Weaviate Schema
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import weaviate
|
||||
|
||||
client = weaviate.Client(
|
||||
url="https://your-instance.weaviate.network",
|
||||
auth_client_secret=weaviate.AuthApiKey(api_key="your-api-key"),
|
||||
additional_headers={
|
||||
"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": "your-openai-key"
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Define schema with all Skill Seekers metadata
|
||||
schema = {
|
||||
"class": "Documentation",
|
||||
"description": "Framework documentation from Skill Seekers",
|
||||
"vectorizer": "text2vec-openai",
|
||||
"moduleConfig": {
|
||||
"text2vec-openai": {
|
||||
"model": "ada-002",
|
||||
"vectorizeClassName": False
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"properties": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "content",
|
||||
"dataType": ["text"],
|
||||
"description": "Documentation content",
|
||||
"moduleConfig": {
|
||||
"text2vec-openai": {"skip": False}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "source",
|
||||
"dataType": ["string"],
|
||||
"description": "Framework name"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "category",
|
||||
"dataType": ["string"],
|
||||
"description": "Documentation category"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "file",
|
||||
"dataType": ["string"],
|
||||
"description": "Source file"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "type",
|
||||
"dataType": ["string"],
|
||||
"description": "Document type"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "url",
|
||||
"dataType": ["string"],
|
||||
"description": "Original URL"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Create class (idempotent)
|
||||
try:
|
||||
client.schema.create_class(schema)
|
||||
print("✅ Schema created")
|
||||
except Exception as e:
|
||||
print(f"Schema already exists or error: {e}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Batch Upload Documents
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import json
|
||||
from weaviate.util import generate_uuid5
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/django-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
documents = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
# Configure batch
|
||||
client.batch.configure(
|
||||
batch_size=100,
|
||||
dynamic=True,
|
||||
timeout_retries=3,
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Upload with batch
|
||||
with client.batch as batch:
|
||||
for i, doc in enumerate(documents):
|
||||
properties = {
|
||||
"content": doc["page_content"],
|
||||
"source": doc["metadata"]["source"],
|
||||
"category": doc["metadata"]["category"],
|
||||
"file": doc["metadata"]["file"],
|
||||
"type": doc["metadata"]["type"],
|
||||
"url": doc["metadata"].get("url", "")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Generate deterministic UUID
|
||||
uuid = generate_uuid5(properties["content"])
|
||||
|
||||
batch.add_data_object(
|
||||
data_object=properties,
|
||||
class_name="Documentation",
|
||||
uuid=uuid
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
if (i + 1) % 100 == 0:
|
||||
print(f"Uploaded {i + 1}/{len(documents)} documents...")
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ Uploaded {len(documents)} documents to Weaviate")
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify upload
|
||||
result = client.query.aggregate("Documentation").with_meta_count().do()
|
||||
count = result["data"]["Aggregate"]["Documentation"][0]["meta"]["count"]
|
||||
print(f"Total documents in Weaviate: {count}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Query with Filters
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Hybrid search with category filter
|
||||
result = client.query.get("Documentation", ["content", "category", "source"]) \
|
||||
.with_hybrid(
|
||||
query="How do I create a Django model?",
|
||||
alpha=0.75
|
||||
) \
|
||||
.with_where({
|
||||
"path": ["category"],
|
||||
"operator": "Equal",
|
||||
"valueString": "models"
|
||||
}) \
|
||||
.with_limit(5) \
|
||||
.do()
|
||||
|
||||
for item in result["data"]["Get"]["Documentation"]:
|
||||
print(f"Source: {item['source']}")
|
||||
print(f"Category: {item['category']}")
|
||||
print(f"Content: {item['content'][:200]}...")
|
||||
print()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Multi-Tenancy for Framework Isolation
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Enable multi-tenancy on schema
|
||||
client.schema.update_config("Documentation", {
|
||||
"multiTenancyConfig": {"enabled": True}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
# Add tenants
|
||||
client.schema.add_class_tenants(
|
||||
class_name="Documentation",
|
||||
tenants=[
|
||||
{"name": "react"},
|
||||
{"name": "django"},
|
||||
{"name": "fastapi"}
|
||||
]
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Upload to specific tenant
|
||||
with client.batch as batch:
|
||||
batch.add_data_object(
|
||||
data_object={"content": "...", "category": "hooks"},
|
||||
class_name="Documentation",
|
||||
tenant="react"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Query specific tenant
|
||||
result = client.query.get("Documentation", ["content"]) \
|
||||
.with_tenant("react") \
|
||||
.with_hybrid(query="React hooks") \
|
||||
.do()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Named Vectors for Multiple Embeddings
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Schema with multiple vector spaces
|
||||
schema = {
|
||||
"class": "Documentation",
|
||||
"vectorizer": "text2vec-openai",
|
||||
"vectorConfig": {
|
||||
"content": {
|
||||
"vectorizer": {
|
||||
"text2vec-openai": {"model": "ada-002"}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"title": {
|
||||
"vectorizer": {
|
||||
"text2vec-openai": {"model": "ada-002"}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"properties": [
|
||||
{"name": "content", "dataType": ["text"]},
|
||||
{"name": "title", "dataType": ["string"]}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Query specific vector
|
||||
result = client.query.get("Documentation", ["content", "title"]) \
|
||||
.with_near_text({"concepts": ["authentication"]}, target_vector="content") \
|
||||
.do()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Generative Search (RAG in Weaviate)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Answer questions using Weaviate's generative module
|
||||
result = client.query.get("Documentation", ["content", "category"]) \
|
||||
.with_hybrid(query="How do I use Django middleware?") \
|
||||
.with_generate(
|
||||
single_prompt="Explain this concept: {content}",
|
||||
grouped_task="Summarize Django middleware based on these docs"
|
||||
) \
|
||||
.with_limit(3) \
|
||||
.do()
|
||||
|
||||
# Access generated answer
|
||||
answer = result["data"]["Get"]["Documentation"][0]["_additional"]["generate"]["singleResult"]
|
||||
print(f"Generated Answer: {answer}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. GraphQL Cross-References
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Create relationships between documentation
|
||||
schema = {
|
||||
"class": "Documentation",
|
||||
"properties": [
|
||||
{"name": "content", "dataType": ["text"]},
|
||||
{"name": "relatedTo", "dataType": ["Documentation"]} # Cross-reference
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Link related docs
|
||||
client.data_object.reference.add(
|
||||
from_class_name="Documentation",
|
||||
from_uuid=doc1_uuid,
|
||||
from_property_name="relatedTo",
|
||||
to_class_name="Documentation",
|
||||
to_uuid=doc2_uuid
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Query with references
|
||||
result = client.query.get("Documentation", ["content", "relatedTo {... on Documentation {content}}"]) \
|
||||
.with_hybrid(query="React hooks") \
|
||||
.do()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Backup and Restore
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Backup all data
|
||||
backup_name = "docs-backup-2026-02-07"
|
||||
result = client.backup.create(
|
||||
backup_id=backup_name,
|
||||
backend="filesystem",
|
||||
include_classes=["Documentation"]
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Wait for completion
|
||||
status = client.backup.get_create_status(backup_id=backup_name, backend="filesystem")
|
||||
print(f"Backup status: {status['status']}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Restore from backup
|
||||
result = client.backup.restore(
|
||||
backup_id=backup_name,
|
||||
backend="filesystem",
|
||||
include_classes=["Documentation"]
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Choose the Right Alpha Value
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Alpha controls BM25 vs vector balance
|
||||
# 0.0 = Pure BM25 (keyword matching)
|
||||
# 1.0 = Pure vector (semantic search)
|
||||
# 0.75 = Recommended (75% semantic, 25% keyword)
|
||||
|
||||
# For exact terms (API names, functions)
|
||||
result = client.query.get(...).with_hybrid(query="useState", alpha=0.3).do()
|
||||
|
||||
# For conceptual queries
|
||||
result = client.query.get(...).with_hybrid(query="state management", alpha=0.9).do()
|
||||
|
||||
# Balanced (recommended default)
|
||||
result = client.query.get(...).with_hybrid(query="React hooks", alpha=0.75).do()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Use Tenant Isolation for Multi-Framework
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Separate tenants prevent cross-contamination
|
||||
tenants = ["react", "vue", "angular", "svelte"]
|
||||
|
||||
for tenant in tenants:
|
||||
client.schema.add_class_tenants("Documentation", [{"name": tenant}])
|
||||
|
||||
# Query only React docs
|
||||
result = client.query.get("Documentation", ["content"]) \
|
||||
.with_tenant("react") \
|
||||
.with_hybrid(query="components") \
|
||||
.do()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Monitor Performance
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Check cluster health
|
||||
health = client.cluster.get_nodes_status()
|
||||
print(f"Nodes: {len(health)}")
|
||||
for node in health:
|
||||
print(f" {node['name']}: {node['status']}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Monitor query performance
|
||||
import time
|
||||
start = time.time()
|
||||
result = client.query.get("Documentation", ["content"]).with_limit(10).do()
|
||||
latency = time.time() - start
|
||||
print(f"Query latency: {latency*1000:.2f}ms")
|
||||
|
||||
# Check object count
|
||||
stats = client.query.aggregate("Documentation").with_meta_count().do()
|
||||
count = stats["data"]["Aggregate"]["Documentation"][0]["meta"]["count"]
|
||||
print(f"Total objects: {count}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Handle Updates Efficiently
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from weaviate.util import generate_uuid5
|
||||
|
||||
# Update existing object (idempotent UUID)
|
||||
uuid = generate_uuid5("unique-content-identifier")
|
||||
client.data_object.replace(
|
||||
data_object={"content": "updated content", ...},
|
||||
class_name="Documentation",
|
||||
uuid=uuid
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Delete obsolete objects
|
||||
client.data_object.delete(uuid=uuid, class_name="Documentation")
|
||||
|
||||
# Delete by filter
|
||||
client.batch.delete_objects(
|
||||
class_name="Documentation",
|
||||
where={
|
||||
"path": ["category"],
|
||||
"operator": "Equal",
|
||||
"valueString": "deprecated"
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Use Async for Large Uploads
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import asyncio
|
||||
from weaviate import Client
|
||||
|
||||
async def upload_batch(client, documents, start_idx, batch_size):
|
||||
"""Upload documents asynchronously."""
|
||||
with client.batch as batch:
|
||||
for i in range(start_idx, min(start_idx + batch_size, len(documents))):
|
||||
doc = documents[i]
|
||||
properties = {
|
||||
"content": doc["page_content"],
|
||||
**doc["metadata"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
batch.add_data_object(properties, "Documentation")
|
||||
|
||||
async def upload_all(documents, batch_size=100):
|
||||
client = Client(url="...", auth_client_secret=...)
|
||||
|
||||
tasks = []
|
||||
for i in range(0, len(documents), batch_size):
|
||||
tasks.append(upload_batch(client, documents, i, batch_size))
|
||||
|
||||
await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
|
||||
print(f"✅ Uploaded {len(documents)} documents")
|
||||
|
||||
# Usage
|
||||
asyncio.run(upload_all(documents))
|
||||
```
|
||||

React Answer: In React, you manage state using the useState hook...
|
||||
|
||||
REACT:
|
||||
Use the useState hook to create controlled components...
|
||||
|
||||
VUE:
|
||||
Vue provides v-model for two-way binding...
|
||||
|
||||
ANGULAR:
|
||||
Angular uses ngModel directive with FormsModule...
|
||||
|
||||
SVELTE:
|
||||
Svelte offers reactive declarations with bind:value...

## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Connection Failed
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** "Could not connect to Weaviate at http://localhost:8080"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check Weaviate is running:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker ps | grep weaviate
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/meta
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Verify URL format:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Local: no https
|
||||
client = weaviate.Client("http://localhost:8080")
|
||||
|
||||
# WCS: use https
|
||||
client = weaviate.Client("https://your-cluster.weaviate.network")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Check authentication:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# WCS requires API key
|
||||
client = weaviate.Client(
|
||||
url="https://your-cluster.weaviate.network",
|
||||
auth_client_secret=weaviate.AuthApiKey(api_key="your-key")
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Schema Already Exists
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** "Class 'Documentation' already exists"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Delete and recreate:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
client.schema.delete_class("Documentation")
|
||||
client.schema.create_class(schema)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Update existing schema:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
client.schema.add_class_properties("Documentation", new_properties)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Check existing schema:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
existing = client.schema.get("Documentation")
|
||||
print(json.dumps(existing, indent=2))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Embedding API Key Not Set
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** "Vectorizer requires X-OpenAI-Api-Key header"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
client = weaviate.Client(
|
||||
url="https://your-cluster.weaviate.network",
|
||||
additional_headers={
|
||||
"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": "sk-..." # OpenAI key
|
||||
# or "X-Cohere-Api-Key": "..."
|
||||
# or "X-HuggingFace-Api-Key": "..."
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Slow Batch Upload
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Uploading 10,000 docs takes >10 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Enable dynamic batching:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
client.batch.configure(
|
||||
batch_size=100,
|
||||
dynamic=True, # Auto-adjust batch size
|
||||
timeout_retries=3
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Use parallel batches:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
|
||||
|
||||
def upload_chunk(docs_chunk):
|
||||
with client.batch as batch:
|
||||
for doc in docs_chunk:
|
||||
batch.add_data_object(doc, "Documentation")
|
||||
|
||||
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as executor:
|
||||
chunk_size = len(documents) // 4
|
||||
chunks = [documents[i:i+chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(documents), chunk_size)]
|
||||
executor.map(upload_chunk, chunks)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Hybrid Search Not Working
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** "with_hybrid() returns no results"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check vectorizer is enabled:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
schema = client.schema.get("Documentation")
|
||||
print(schema["vectorizer"]) # Should be "text2vec-openai" or similar
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Try pure vector search:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Test vector search works
|
||||
result = client.query.get("Documentation", ["content"]) \
|
||||
.with_near_text({"concepts": ["test query"]}) \
|
||||
.do()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Verify BM25 index:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# BM25 requires inverted index
|
||||
schema["invertedIndexConfig"] = {"bm25": {"enabled": True}}
|
||||
client.schema.update_config("Documentation", schema)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Tenant Not Found
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** "Tenant 'react' does not exist"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **List existing tenants:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
tenants = client.schema.get_class_tenants("Documentation")
|
||||
print([t["name"] for t in tenants])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Add missing tenant:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
client.schema.add_class_tenants("Documentation", [{"name": "react"}])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Check multi-tenancy is enabled:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
schema = client.schema.get("Documentation")
|
||||
print(schema.get("multiTenancyConfig", {}).get("enabled")) # Should be True
|
||||
```
|
||||

## 📊 Before vs. After
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Without Skill Seekers | With Skill Seekers |
|
||||
|--------|----------------------|-------------------|
|
||||
| **Schema Design** | Manual property definition for each framework | Auto-formatted with consistent structure |
|
||||
| **Data Ingestion** | Custom scraping + parsing logic | One command: `skill-seekers scrape` |
|
||||
| **Metadata** | Manual extraction from docs | Auto-extracted (category, source, file, type) |
|
||||
| **Multi-Framework** | Separate schemas and databases | Single tenant-based schema |
|
||||
| **Hybrid Search** | Complex query construction | Pre-optimized for BM25 + vector |
|
||||
| **Setup Time** | 4-6 hours | 10 minutes |
|
||||
| **Code Required** | 500+ lines scraping logic | 30 lines upload script |
|
||||
| **Maintenance** | Update scrapers for each site | Update config once |

||||
|
||||
1. **Add Generative Search:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Enable qna-openai module in Weaviate
|
||||
# Then use with_generate() for RAG
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Implement Semantic Chunking:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/fastapi.json --chunk-for-rag --chunk-size 512
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Set Up Multi-Tenancy:**
|
||||
- Create tenant per framework
|
||||
- Query with `.with_tenant("framework-name")`
|
||||
- Isolate different documentation sets
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Monitor Performance:**
|
||||
- Track query latency
|
||||
- Monitor object count
|
||||
- Check cluster health
