Weaviate

WeaviateVectorStore #

Bases: BasePydanticVectorStore

Weaviate vector store.

In this vector store, embeddings and docs are stored within a Weaviate collection.

During query time, the index uses Weaviate to query for the top k most similar nodes.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
weaviate_client Client

WeaviateClient instance from weaviate-client package

None
index_name Optional[str]

name for Weaviate classes

None

Examples:

pip install llama-index-vector-stores-weaviate

import weaviate

resource_owner_config = weaviate.AuthClientPassword(
    username="<username>",
    password="<password>",
)
client = weaviate.Client(
    "https://llama-test-ezjahb4m.weaviate.network",
    auth_client_secret=resource_owner_config,
)

vector_store = WeaviateVectorStore(
    weaviate_client=client, index_name="LlamaIndex"
)
