Objectbox

ObjectBoxVectorStore #

Bases: BasePydanticVectorStore

ObjectBox vector store.

In this vector store, embeddings are stored within a ObjectBox Box (collection).

During query time, the index uses ObjectBox to query for the top-K most similar nodes.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
embedding_dimensions int

Number of elements in the embedding to be stored

required
distance_type VectorDistanceType

Distance metric to be used for vector search

EUCLIDEAN
db_directory str

File path where ObjectBox database files will be stored

None
clear_db bool

Whether to delete any existing database on db_directory

False
do_log bool

enable/disable logging

False

Examples:

pip install llama-index-vector-stores-objectbox

from llama_index.vector_stores.objectbox import ObjectBoxVectorStore
from objectbox import VectorDistanceType

vector_store = ObjectBoxVectorStore(
    embedding_dim,
    distance_type=VectorDistanceType.COSINE,
    db_directory="obx_data",
    clear_db=False,
    do_log=True
)
