Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine, capable of performing both vector and lexical search. It is built on top of the Apache Lucene library.

This notebook shows how to use functionality related to the Elasticsearch database.

%pip install --upgrade --quiet langchain-elasticsearch langchain-openai tiktoken langchain

Running and connecting to Elasticsearch

There are two main ways to setup an Elasticsearch instance for use with:

Elastic Cloud: Elastic Cloud is a managed Elasticsearch service. Signup for a free trial.

To connect to an Elasticsearch instance that does not require login credentials (starting the docker instance with security enabled), pass the Elasticsearch URL and index name along with the embedding object to the constructor.

Local Install Elasticsearch: Get started with Elasticsearch by running it locally. The easiest way is to use the official Elasticsearch Docker image. See the Elasticsearch Docker documentation for more information.

Running Elasticsearch via Docker

Example: Run a single-node Elasticsearch instance with security disabled. This is not recommended for production use.

docker run -p 9200:9200 -e "discovery.type=single-node" -e "xpack.security.enabled=false" -e "xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled=false" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.12.1

Once the Elasticsearch instance is running, you can connect to it using the Elasticsearch URL and index name along with the embedding object to the constructor.

Example:

from langchain_elasticsearch import ElasticsearchStore
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings

embedding = OpenAIEmbeddings()
elastic_vector_search = ElasticsearchStore(
    es_url="http://localhost:9200",
    index_name="test_index",
    embedding=embedding
)

API Reference:

Authentication

For production, we recommend you run with security enabled. To connect with login credentials, you can use the parameters es_api_key or es_user and es_password.

Example:

from langchain_elasticsearch import ElasticsearchStore
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings

embedding = OpenAIEmbeddings()
elastic_vector_search = ElasticsearchStore(
    es_url="http://localhost:9200",
    index_name="test_index",
    embedding=embedding,
    es_user="elastic",
    es_password="changeme"
)

API Reference:

You can also use an Elasticsearch client object that gives you more flexibility, for example to configure the maximum number of retries.

Example:

import elasticsearch
from langchain_elasticsearch import ElasticsearchStore

es_client= elasticsearch.Elasticsearch(
    hosts=["http://localhost:9200"],
    es_user="elastic",
    es_password="changeme"
    max_retries=10,
)

embedding = OpenAIEmbeddings()
elastic_vector_search = ElasticsearchStore(
    index_name="test_index",
    es_connection=es_client,
    embedding=embedding,
)

API Reference:

ElasticsearchStore

How to obtain a password for the default "elastic" user?

To obtain your Elastic Cloud password for the default "elastic" user:

Log in to the Elastic Cloud console at https://cloud.elastic.co
Go to "Security" > "Users"
Locate the "elastic" user and click "Edit"
Click "Reset password"
Follow the prompts to reset the password

How to obtain an API key?

To obtain an API key:

Log in to the Elastic Cloud console at https://cloud.elastic.co
Open Kibana and go to Stack Management > API Keys
Click "Create API key"
Enter a name for the API key and click "Create"
Copy the API key and paste it into the api_key parameter

Elastic Cloud

To connect to an Elasticsearch instance on Elastic Cloud, you can use either the es_cloud_id parameter or es_url.

Example:

from langchain_elasticsearch import ElasticsearchStore
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings

embedding = OpenAIEmbeddings()
elastic_vector_search = ElasticsearchStore(
    es_cloud_id="<cloud_id>",
    index_name="test_index",
    embedding=embedding,
    es_user="elastic",
    es_password="changeme"
)

API Reference:

To use the OpenAIEmbeddings we have to configure the OpenAI API Key in the environment.

import getpass
import os

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("OpenAI API Key:")

Basic Example

This example we are going to load "state_of_the_union.txt" via the TextLoader, chunk the text into 500 word chunks, and then index each chunk into Elasticsearch.

Once the data is indexed, we perform a simple query to find the top 4 chunks that similar to the query "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson".

Elasticsearch is running locally on localhost:9200 with docker. For more details on how to connect to Elasticsearch from Elastic Cloud, see connecting with authentication above.

Metadata

ElasticsearchStore supports metadata to stored along with the document. This metadata dict object is stored in a metadata object field in the Elasticsearch document. Based on the metadata value, Elasticsearch will automatically setup the mapping by infering the data type of the metadata value. For example, if the metadata value is a string, Elasticsearch will setup the mapping for the metadata object field as a string type.

# Adding metadata to documents
for i, doc in enumerate(docs):
    doc.metadata["date"] = f"{range(2010, 2020)[i % 10]}-01-01"
    doc.metadata["rating"] = range(1, 6)[i % 5]
    doc.metadata["author"] = ["John Doe", "Jane Doe"][i % 2]

db = ElasticsearchStore.from_documents(
    docs, embeddings, es_url="http://localhost:9200", index_name="test-metadata"
)

query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"
docs = db.similarity_search(query)
print(docs[0].metadata)

{'source': '../../how_to/state_of_the_union.txt', 'date': '2016-01-01', 'rating': 2, 'author': 'John Doe'}

Filtering Metadata

With metadata added to the documents, you can add metadata filtering at query time.

Example: Filter by Exact keyword

Notice: We are using the keyword subfield thats not analyzed

docs = db.similarity_search(
    query, filter=[{"term": {"metadata.author.keyword": "John Doe"}}]
)
print(docs[0].metadata)

{'source': '../../how_to/state_of_the_union.txt', 'date': '2016-01-01', 'rating': 2, 'author': 'John Doe'}

Example: Filter by Partial Match

This example shows how to filter by partial match. This is useful when you don't know the exact value of the metadata field. For example, if you want to filter by the metadata field author and you don't know the exact value of the author, you can use a partial match to filter by the author's last name. Fuzzy matching is also supported.

"Jon" matches on "John Doe" as "Jon" is a close match to "John" token.

docs = db.similarity_search(
    query,
    filter=[{"match": {"metadata.author": {"query": "Jon", "fuzziness": "AUTO"}}}],
)
print(docs[0].metadata)

{'source': '../../how_to/state_of_the_union.txt', 'date': '2016-01-01', 'rating': 2, 'author': 'John Doe'}

Example: Filter by Date Range

docs = db.similarity_search(
    "Any mention about Fred?",
    filter=[{"range": {"metadata.date": {"gte": "2010-01-01"}}}],
)
print(docs[0].metadata)

{'source': '../../how_to/state_of_the_union.txt', 'date': '2012-01-01', 'rating': 3, 'author': 'John Doe', 'geo_location': {'lat': 40.12, 'lon': -71.34}}

Example: Filter by Numeric Range

docs = db.similarity_search(
    "Any mention about Fred?", filter=[{"range": {"metadata.rating": {"gte": 2}}}]
)
print(docs[0].metadata)

{'source': '../../how_to/state_of_the_union.txt', 'date': '2012-01-01', 'rating': 3, 'author': 'John Doe', 'geo_location': {'lat': 40.12, 'lon': -71.34}}

Example: Filter by Geo Distance

Requires an index with a geo_point mapping to be declared for metadata.geo_location.

docs = db.similarity_search(
    "Any mention about Fred?",
    filter=[
        {
            "geo_distance": {
                "distance": "200km",
                "metadata.geo_location": {"lat": 40, "lon": -70},
            }
        }
    ],
)
print(docs[0].metadata)

Filter supports many more types of queries than above.

Read more about them in the documentation.

Distance Similarity Algorithm

Elasticsearch supports the following vector distance similarity algorithms:

cosine
euclidean
dot_product

The cosine similarity algorithm is the default.

You can specify the similarity Algorithm needed via the similarity parameter.

NOTE Depending on the retrieval strategy, the similarity algorithm cannot be changed at query time. It is needed to be set when creating the index mapping for field. If you need to change the similarity algorithm, you need to delete the index and recreate it with the correct distance_strategy.

db = ElasticsearchStore.from_documents(
    docs, 
    embeddings, 
    es_url="http://localhost:9200", 
    index_name="test",
    distance_strategy="COSINE"
    # distance_strategy="EUCLIDEAN_DISTANCE"
    # distance_strategy="DOT_PRODUCT"
)

Retrieval Strategies

Elasticsearch has big advantages over other vector only databases from its ability to support a wide range of retrieval strategies. In this notebook we will configure ElasticsearchStore to support some of the most common retrieval strategies.

By default, ElasticsearchStore uses the DenseVectorStrategy (was called ApproxRetrievalStrategy prior to version 0.2.0).

DenseVectorStrategy

This will return the top k most similar vectors to the query vector. The k parameter is set when the ElasticsearchStore is initialized. The default value is 10.

from langchain_elasticsearch import DenseVectorStrategy

db = ElasticsearchStore.from_documents(
    docs,
    embeddings,
    es_url="http://localhost:9200",
    index_name="test",
    strategy=DenseVectorStrategy(),
)

docs = db.similarity_search(
    query="What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson?", k=10
)

API Reference:

DenseVectorStrategy

Example: Hybrid retrieval with dense vector and keyword search

This example will show how to configure ElasticsearchStore to perform a hybrid retrieval, using a combination of approximate semantic search and keyword based search.

We use RRF to balance the two scores from different retrieval methods.

To enable hybrid retrieval, we need to set hybrid=True in the DenseVectorStrategy constructor.

db = ElasticsearchStore.from_documents(
    docs, 
    embeddings, 
    es_url="http://localhost:9200", 
    index_name="test",
    strategy=DenseVectorStrategy(hybrid=True)
)

When hybrid is enabled, the query performed will be a combination of approximate semantic search and keyword based search.

It will use rrf (Reciprocal Rank Fusion) to balance the two scores from different retrieval methods.

Note RRF requires Elasticsearch 8.9.0 or above.

    "knn": {
        "field": "vector",

            "must": [{"match": {"text": {"query": "foo"}}}],
        }
    },
    "rank": {"rrf": {}},
}

Example: Dense vector search with Embedding Model in Elasticsearch

This example will show how to configure ElasticsearchStore to use the embedding model deployed in Elasticsearch for dense vector retrieval.

To use this, specify the model_id in DenseVectorStrategy constructor via the query_model_id argument.

NOTE This requires the model to be deployed and running in Elasticsearch ml node. See notebook example on how to deploy the model with eland.

DENSE_SELF_DEPLOYED_INDEX_NAME = "test-dense-self-deployed"

# Note: This does not have an embedding function specified
# Instead, we will use the embedding model deployed in Elasticsearch
db = ElasticsearchStore(
    es_cloud_id="<your cloud id>",
    es_user="elastic",
    es_password="<your password>",
    index_name=DENSE_SELF_DEPLOYED_INDEX_NAME,
    query_field="text_field",
    vector_query_field="vector_query_field.predicted_value",
    strategy=DenseVectorStrategy(model_id="sentence-transformers__all-minilm-l6-v2"),
)

# Setup a Ingest Pipeline to perform the embedding
# of the text field
db.client.ingest.put_pipeline(
    id="test_pipeline",
    processors=[
        {
            "inference": {
                "model_id": "sentence-transformers__all-minilm-l6-v2",
                "field_map": {"query_field": "text_field"},
                "target_field": "vector_query_field",
            }
        }
    ],
)

# creating a new index with the pipeline,
# not relying on langchain to create the index
db.client.indices.create(
    index=DENSE_SELF_DEPLOYED_INDEX_NAME,
    mappings={
        "properties": {
            "text_field": {"type": "text"},
            "vector_query_field": {
                "properties": {
                    "predicted_value": {
                        "type": "dense_vector",
                        "dims": 384,
                        "index": True,
                        "similarity": "l2_norm",
                    }
                }
            },
        }
    },
    settings={"index": {"default_pipeline": "test_pipeline"}},
)

db.from_texts(
    ["hello world"],
    es_cloud_id="<cloud id>",
    es_user="elastic",
    es_password="<cloud password>",
    index_name=DENSE_SELF_DEPLOYED_INDEX_NAME,
    query_field="text_field",
    vector_query_field="vector_query_field.predicted_value",
    strategy=DenseVectorStrategy(model_id="sentence-transformers__all-minilm-l6-v2"),
)

# Perform search
db.similarity_search("hello world", k=10)

SparseVectorStrategy (ELSER)

This strategy uses Elasticsearch's sparse vector retrieval to retrieve the top-k results. We only support our own "ELSER" embedding model for now.

NOTE This requires the ELSER model to be deployed and running in Elasticsearch ml node.

To use this, specify SparseVectorStrategy (was called SparseVectorRetrievalStrategy prior to version 0.2.0) in the ElasticsearchStore constructor. You will need to provide a model ID.

from langchain_elasticsearch import SparseVectorStrategy

# Note that this example doesn't have an embedding function. This is because we infer the tokens at index time and at query time within Elasticsearch.
# This requires the ELSER model to be loaded and running in Elasticsearch.
db = ElasticsearchStore.from_documents(
    docs,
    es_cloud_id="<cloud id>",
    es_user="elastic",
    es_password="<cloud password>",
    index_name="test-elser",
    strategy=SparseVectorStrategy(model_id=".elser_model_2"),
)

db.client.indices.refresh(index="test-elser")

results = db.similarity_search(
    "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson", k=4
)
print(results[0])

API Reference:

SparseVectorStrategy

page_content='One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court. \n\nAnd I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.' metadata={'source': '../../how_to/state_of_the_union.txt'}

DenseVectorScriptScoreStrategy

This strategy uses Elasticsearch's script score query to perform exact vector retrieval (also known as brute force) to retrieve the top-k results. (This strategy was called ExactRetrievalStrategy prior to version 0.2.0.)

To use this, specify DenseVectorScriptScoreStrategy in ElasticsearchStore constructor.

from langchain_elasticsearch import SparseVectorStrategy

db = ElasticsearchStore.from_documents(
    docs, 
    embeddings, 
    es_url="http://localhost:9200", 
    index_name="test",
    strategy=DenseVectorScriptScoreStrategy(),
)

API Reference:

SparseVectorStrategy

BM25Strategy

Finally, you can use full-text keyword search.

To use this, specify BM25Strategy in ElasticsearchStore constructor.

from langchain_elasticsearch import BM25Strategy

db = ElasticsearchStore.from_documents(
    docs, 
    es_url="http://localhost:9200", 
    index_name="test",
    strategy=BM25Strategy(),
)

API Reference:

BM25Strategy

BM25RetrievalStrategy

This strategy allows the user to perform searches using pure BM25 without vector search.

To use this, specify BM25RetrievalStrategy in ElasticsearchStore constructor.

Note that in the example below, the embedding option is not specified, indicating that the search is conducted without using embeddings.

from langchain_elasticsearch import ElasticsearchStore

db = ElasticsearchStore(
    es_url="http://localhost:9200",
    index_name="test_index",
    strategy=ElasticsearchStore.BM25RetrievalStrategy(),
)

db.add_texts(
    ["foo", "foo bar", "foo bar baz", "bar", "bar baz", "baz"],
)

results = db.similarity_search(query="foo", k=10)
print(results)

API Reference:

ElasticsearchStore

[Document(page_content='foo'), Document(page_content='foo bar'), Document(page_content='foo bar baz')]

Customise the Query

With custom_query parameter at search, you are able to adjust the query that is used to retrieve documents from Elasticsearch. This is useful if you want to use a more complex query, to support linear boosting of fields.

# Example of a custom query thats just doing a BM25 search on the text field.
def custom_query(query_body: dict, query: str):
    """Custom query to be used in Elasticsearch.
    Args:
        query_body (dict): Elasticsearch query body.
        query (str): Query string.
    Returns:
        dict: Elasticsearch query body.
    """
    print("Query Retriever created by the retrieval strategy:")
    print(query_body)
    print()

    new_query_body = {"query": {"match": {"text": query}}}

    print("Query thats actually used in Elasticsearch:")
    print(new_query_body)
    print()

    return new_query_body


results = db.similarity_search(
    "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson",
    k=4,
    custom_query=custom_query,
)
print("Results:")
print(results[0])

Query Retriever created by the retrieval strategy:
{'query': {'bool': {'must': [{'text_expansion': {'vector.tokens': {'model_id': '.elser_model_1', 'model_text': 'What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson'}}}], 'filter': []}}}

Query thats actually used in Elasticsearch:
{'query': {'match': {'text': 'What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson'}}}

Results:
page_content='One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court. \n\nAnd I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.' metadata={'source': '../../how_to/state_of_the_union.txt'}

Customize the Document Builder

With doc_builder parameter at search, you are able to adjust how a Document is being built using data retrieved from Elasticsearch. This is especially useful if you have indices which were not created using Langchain.

from typing import Dict

from langchain_core.documents import Document


def custom_document_builder(hit: Dict) -> Document:
    src = hit.get("_source", {})
    return Document(
        page_content=src.get("content", "Missing content!"),
        metadata={
            "page_number": src.get("page_number", -1),
            "original_filename": src.get("original_filename", "Missing filename!"),
        },
    )


results = db.similarity_search(
    "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson",
    k=4,
    doc_builder=custom_document_builder,
)
print("Results:")
print(results[0])

FAQ

Question: Im getting timeout errors when indexing documents into Elasticsearch. How do I fix this?

One possible issue is your documents might take longer to index into Elasticsearch. ElasticsearchStore uses the Elasticsearch bulk API which has a few defaults that you can adjust to reduce the chance of timeout errors.

This is also a good idea when you're using SparseVectorRetrievalStrategy.

The defaults are:

chunk_size: 500
max_chunk_bytes: 100MB

To adjust these, you can pass in the chunk_size and max_chunk_bytes parameters to the ElasticsearchStore add_texts method.

    vector_store.add_texts(
        texts,
        bulk_kwargs={
            "chunk_size": 50,
            "max_chunk_bytes": 200000000
        }
    )

Upgrading to ElasticsearchStore

If you're already using Elasticsearch in your langchain based project, you may be using the old implementations: ElasticVectorSearch and ElasticKNNSearch which are now deprecated. We've introduced a new implementation called ElasticsearchStore which is more flexible and easier to use. This notebook will guide you through the process of upgrading to the new implementation.

What's new?

The new implementation is now one class called ElasticsearchStore which can be used for approximate dense vector, exact dense vector, sparse vector (ELSER), BM25 retrieval and hybrid retrieval, via strategies.

I am using ElasticKNNSearch

Old implementation:

from langchain_community.vectorstores.elastic_vector_search import ElasticKNNSearch

db = ElasticKNNSearch(
  elasticsearch_url="http://localhost:9200",
  index_name="test_index",
  embedding=embedding
)

New implementation:

from langchain_elasticsearch import ElasticsearchStore, DenseVectorStrategy

db = ElasticsearchStore(
  es_url="http://localhost:9200",
  index_name="test_index",
  embedding=embedding,
  # if you use the model_id
  # strategy=DenseVectorStrategy(model_id="test_model")
  # if you use hybrid search
  # strategy=DenseVectorStrategy(hybrid=True)
)
