Wrapper around DataStax Astra DB for vector-store workloads.
For quickstart and details, visit https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra/astra-db-vector/
Example
from langchain_community.vectorstores import AstraDB from langchain_openai.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings() vectorstore = AstraDB( embedding=embeddings, collection_name="my_store", token="AstraCS:...", api_endpoint="https://<DB-ID>-<REGION>.apps.astra.datastax.com" ) vectorstore.add_texts(["Giraffes", "All good here"]) results = vectorstore.similarity_search("Everything's ok", k=1)
- Parameters
embedding (Embeddings) – embedding function to use.
collection_name (str) – name of the Astra DB collection to create/use.
token (Optional[str]) – API token for Astra DB usage.
api_endpoint (Optional[str]) – full URL to the API endpoint, such as https://<DB-ID>-us-east1.apps.astra.datastax.com.
astra_db_client (Optional[LibAstraDB]) – alternative to token+api_endpoint, you can pass an already-created ‘astrapy.db.AstraDB’ instance.
async_astra_db_client (Optional[AsyncAstraDB]) – alternative to token+api_endpoint, you can pass an already-created ‘astrapy.db.AsyncAstraDB’ instance.
namespace (Optional[str]) – namespace (aka keyspace) where the collection is created. Defaults to the database’s “default namespace”.
metric (Optional[str]) – similarity function to use out of those available in Astra DB. If left out, it will use Astra DB API’s defaults (i.e. “cosine” - but, for performance reasons, “dot_product” is suggested if embeddings are normalized to one).
batch_size (Optional[int]) – Size of batches for bulk insertions.
bulk_insert_batch_concurrency (Optional[int]) – Number of threads or coroutines to insert batches concurrently.
bulk_insert_overwrite_concurrency (Optional[int]) – Number of threads or coroutines in a batch to insert pre-existing entries.
bulk_delete_concurrency (Optional[int]) – Number of threads (for deleting multiple rows concurrently).
pre_delete_collection (bool) – whether to delete the collection before creating it. If False and the collection already exists, the collection will be used as is.
setup_mode (SetupMode) –
Note
For concurrency in synchronous
add_texts()
:, as a rule of thumb, on a typical client machine it is suggested to keep the quantity bulk_insert_batch_concurrency * bulk_insert_overwrite_concurrency much below 1000 to avoid exhausting the client multithreading/networking resources. The hardcoded defaults are somewhat conservative to meet most machines’ specs, but a sensible choice to test may be:bulk_insert_batch_concurrency = 80
bulk_insert_overwrite_concurrency = 10
A bit of experimentation is required to nail the best results here, depending on both the machine/network specs and the expected workload (specifically, how often a write is an update of an existing id). Remember you can pass concurrency settings to individual calls to
add_texts()
andadd_documents()
as well.Attributes
embeddings
Access the query embedding object if available.

embedding (List[float]) – Embedding to look up documents similar to.
k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
filter (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Filter on the metadata to apply.
kwargs (Any) –
- Returns
The list of Documents most similar to the query vector.
- Return type
List[Document]
- similarity_search_with_relevance_scores(query: str, k: int = 4, **kwargs: Any) List[Tuple[Document, float]] ¶
Return docs and relevance scores in the range [0, 1].
0 is dissimilar, 1 is most similar.
- Parameters
query (str) – input text
k (int) – Number of Documents to return. Defaults to 4.
**kwargs (Any) –
kwargs to be passed to similarity search. Should include: score_threshold: Optional, a floating point value between 0 to 1 to
filter the resulting set of retrieved docs
- Returns
List of Tuples of (doc, similarity_score)
- Return type
List[Tuple[Document, float]]
