I want to do small local spring boot poc on spring ai in Java gradle, I want to use database as some popular vector db, assume local LLM mode ollama l is running mistral, show me all code for how to connect to vector database that is running locally and also tell me what gradle dependency I need to add in spring boot project to connect to db

ChatGPT:

To create a Spring Boot project with Gradle that connects to a vector database (we'll use Pinecone as an example), and assumes a local LLM mode ollama l is running mistral, follow these steps:

Step 1: Set Up Spring Boot Project with Gradle

First, create a new Spring Boot project using the Spring Initializr or manually create the necessary files.

build.gradle

Add the following dependencies to your build.gradle file:

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '3.0.0'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
    id 'java'
}

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '17'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa'
    implementation 'com.pinecone:pinecone-client:0.1.0'
    runtimeOnly 'com.h2database:h2'
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

Step 2: Configure Database Connection

Configure your Spring Boot application to connect to the Pinecone vector database. Add the following properties in your application.properties file:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb
spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=password
spring.datasource.platform=h2

pinecone.api-key=your-pinecone-api-key
pinecone.project-name=your-project-name
pinecone.environment=your-environment

Step 3: Create Database Configuration

Create a configuration class to set up the Pinecone client.

PineconeConfig.java

package com.example.demo.config;

import com.pinecone.PineconeClient;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class PineconeConfig {

    @Value("${pinecone.api-key}")
    private String apiKey;

    @Value("${pinecone.project-name}")
    private String projectName;

    @Value("${pinecone.environment}")
    private String environment;

    @Bean
    public PineconeClient pineconeClient() {
        return PineconeClient.builder()
                .apiKey(apiKey)
                .projectName(projectName)
                .environment(environment)
                .build();
    }
}

Step 4: Create a Sample Entity and Repository

Create a sample entity and repository to demonstrate interaction with the database.

VectorEntity.java

package com.example.demo.entity;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class VectorEntity {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    private String vector;

    // Getters and Setters
}

VectorRepository.java

package com.example.demo.repository;

import com.example.demo.entity.VectorEntity;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

@Repository
public interface VectorRepository extends JpaRepository<VectorEntity, Long> {
}

Step 5: Create a Sample Service

Create a service to handle operations related to the vector data.

VectorService.java

package com.example.demo.service;

import com.example.demo.entity.VectorEntity;
import com.example.demo.repository.VectorRepository;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class VectorService {

    @Autowired
    private VectorRepository vectorRepository;

    public VectorEntity saveVector(VectorEntity vectorEntity) {
        return vectorRepository.save(vectorEntity);
    }

    public VectorEntity getVector(Long id) {
        return vectorRepository.findById(id).orElse(null);
    }
}

Step 6: Create a Sample Controller

Create a REST controller to expose endpoints for the vector operations.

VectorController.java

package com.example.demo.controller;

import com.example.demo.entity.VectorEntity;
import com.example.demo.service.VectorService;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/vectors")
public class VectorController {

    @Autowired
    private VectorService vectorService;

    @PostMapping
    public VectorEntity createVector(@RequestBody VectorEntity vectorEntity) {
        return vectorService.saveVector(vectorEntity);
    }

    @GetMapping("/{id}")
    public VectorEntity getVector(@PathVariable Long id) {
        return vectorService.getVector(id);
    }
}

Step 7: Run Your Spring Boot Application

Now, you can run your Spring Boot application. Make sure your vector database (Pinecone) is running locally and properly configured.

Step 8: Interact with Local LLM Mode (Optional)

For interacting with the local LLM mode ollama l running mistral, you can create a service to handle communication with the LLM. However, this part is more dependent on the specific APIs and libraries provided by ollama l and mistral. If you have specific requirements or details about the API, you can extend this guide accordingly.

This setup provides a basic structure to connect and interact with a vector database using Spring Boot and Gradle. Adjust the configurations and dependencies according to your specific needs.

    implementation platform("org.springframework.ai:spring-ai-bom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT")
    runtimeOnly 'com.h2database:h2'
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

Step 2: Configure Database Connection

Configure your Spring Boot application to connect to a vector database (e.g., Pinecone). Add the following properties in your application.properties file:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb
spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=password
spring.datasource.platform=h2

pinecone.api-key=your-pinecone-api-key
pinecone.project-name=your-project-name
pinecone.environment=your-environment

spring.ai.openai.api-key=your-openai-api-key

Step 3: Create Database Configuration

Create a configuration class to set up the Pinecone client.

PineconeConfig.java

package com.example.demo.config;

import com.pinecone.PineconeClient;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class PineconeConfig {

    @Value("${pinecone.api-key}")
    private String apiKey;

    @Value("${pinecone.project-name}")
    private String projectName;

    @Value("${pinecone.environment}")
    private String environment;

    @Bean
    public PineconeClient pineconeClient() {
        return PineconeClient.builder()
                .apiKey(apiKey)
                .projectName(projectName)
                .environment(environment)
                .build();
    }
}

Step 4: Create a Sample Entity and Repository

Create a sample entity and repository to demonstrate interaction with the database.

VectorEntity.java

package com.example.demo.entity;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class VectorEntity {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    private String vector;

    // Getters and Setters
}

VectorRepository.java

package com.example.demo.repository;

import com.example.demo.entity.VectorEntity;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

@Repository
public interface VectorRepository extends JpaRepository<VectorEntity, Long> {
}

Step 5: Create a Sample Service

Create a service to handle operations related to the vector data.

VectorService.java

package com.example.demo.service;

import com.example.demo.entity.VectorEntity;
import com.example.demo.repository.VectorRepository;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class VectorService {

    @Autowired
    private VectorRepository vectorRepository;

    public VectorEntity saveVector(VectorEntity vectorEntity) {
        return vectorRepository.save(vectorEntity);
    }

    public VectorEntity getVector(Long id) {
        return vectorRepository.findById(id).orElse(null);
    }
}

Step 6: Create a Sample Controller

Create a REST controller to expose endpoints for the vector operations and AI interactions.

VectorController.java

package com.example.demo.controller;

import com.example.demo.entity.VectorEntity;
import com.example.demo.service.VectorService;
import org.springframework.ai.chat.ChatClient;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/vectors")
public class VectorController {

    @Autowired
    private VectorService vectorService;

    @Autowired
    private ChatClient chatClient;

    @PostMapping
    public VectorEntity createVector(@RequestBody VectorEntity vectorEntity) {
        return vectorService.saveVector(vectorEntity);
    }

    @GetMapping("/{id}")
    public VectorEntity getVector(@PathVariable Long id) {
        return vectorService.getVector(id);
    }

    @GetMapping("/ai")
    public String getAiResponse(@RequestParam String prompt) {
        return chatClient.generate(prompt);
    }
}

Step 7: Run Your Spring Boot Application

Now, you can run your Spring Boot application. Make sure your vector database (Pinecone) is running locally and properly configured. This setup provides a basic structure to connect and interact with a vector database using Spring Boot and Spring AI with Gradle. For more details and examples, refer to the Spring AI documentation ​ (Home )​​ (JavaTechOnline )​.

You:

Assume vector database is running locally, and local LLM model, now show me code template for vector store from spring ai, once created important bean then show me how to create string to embedded vector and print it and then show me how to store that string inside my vector database using vector store instance from spring ai

ChatGPT:

To connect to a locally running vector database and integrate a local LLM model using Spring AI, follow these steps. We'll use Spring AI's vector store API to demonstrate how to create a vector from a string, print it, and store it in the vector database.

Step 1: Add Dependencies

Ensure you have the necessary dependencies in your build.gradle file.

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '3.0.0'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
    id 'java'
}

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '17'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/milestone' }
    maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/snapshot' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa'
    implementation platform("org.springframework.ai:spring-ai-bom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT")
    implementation 'org.springframework.ai:spring-ai-openai-spring-boot-starter:0.8.0-SNAPSHOT'
    implementation 'org.springframework.ai:spring-ai-vector-store:0.8.0-SNAPSHOT'
    runtimeOnly 'com.h2database:h2'
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

Step 2: Configure the Vector Store

Set up your application properties to include the necessary configurations.

application.properties

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb
spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=password
spring.datasource.platform=h2

spring.ai.openai.api-key=your-openai-api-key

Step 3: Create Configuration for Vector Store

Create a configuration class to set up the vector store.

VectorStoreConfig.java

package com.example.demo.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStoreFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;

@Configuration
public class VectorStoreConfig {

    @Value("${pinecone.api-key}")
    private String apiKey;

    @Value("${pinecone.project-name}")
    private String projectName;

    @Value("${pinecone.environment}")
    private String environment;

    @Bean
    public VectorStore vectorStore() {
        return VectorStoreFactory.createPineconeVectorStore(apiKey, projectName, environment);
    }
}

Step 4: Create Service to Generate and Store Vectors

Create a service that uses the vector store to generate and store vectors.

VectorService.java

package com.example.demo.service;

import org.springframework.ai.chat.ChatClient;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.Vector;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class VectorService {

    @Autowired
    private ChatClient chatClient;

    @Autowired
    private VectorStore vectorStore;

    public Vector createAndStoreVector(String text) {
        // Generate embedding using chat client (assuming LLM provides this functionality)
        String embeddingString = chatClient.generate(text);
        System.out.println("Generated Embedding: " + embeddingString);

        // Create vector from embedding string
        Vector vector = new Vector(embeddingString);

        // Store vector in the vector store
        vectorStore.storeVector(vector);

        return vector;
    }
}

Step 5: Create a Controller to Expose the Functionality

Create a REST controller to expose the functionality of generating and storing vectors.

VectorController.java

package com.example.demo.controller;

import com.example.demo.service.VectorService;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.Vector;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/vectors")
public class VectorController {

    @Autowired
    private VectorService vectorService;

    @PostMapping
    public Vector createAndStoreVector(@RequestParam String text) {
        return vectorService.createAndStoreVector(text);
    }
}

Running the Application

  1. Start the Spring Boot application: Ensure your vector database (e.g., Pinecone) is running locally and properly configured.

  2. Send a POST request: Use a tool like Postman or curl to send a POST request to http://localhost:8080/vectors with the text parameter to generate and store a vector.

Example POST Request

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/vectors" -d "text=Hello, world!"

This will generate an embedding for the text "Hello, world!", print it, and store it in your vector database using the configured vector store instance.

Conclusion

This setup provides a basic structure to integrate Spring AI with a local vector database and a local LLM model. You can further extend this to include more functionalities and handle different types of data as per your requirements.

        return VectorStoreFactory.createPineconeVectorStore(apiKey, projectName, environment);
    }
}

Example 2: Weaviate Vector Store

Weaviate is another popular vector database that you can run locally. Here’s how you can create a bean for it:

VectorStoreConfig.java

package com.example.demo.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStoreFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;

@Configuration
public class VectorStoreConfig {

    @Value("${weaviate.url}")
    private String weaviateUrl;

    @Value("${weaviate.api-key}")
    private String apiKey;

    @Bean
    public VectorStore vectorStore() {
        return VectorStoreFactory.createWeaviateVectorStore(weaviateUrl, apiKey);
    }
}

Example 3: Milvus Vector Store

Milvus is another powerful vector database. Here’s how you can create a bean for it:

VectorStoreConfig.java

package com.example.demo.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStoreFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;

@Configuration
public class VectorStoreConfig {

    @Value("${milvus.host}")
    private String host;

    @Value("${milvus.port}")
    private int port;

    @Bean
    public VectorStore vectorStore() {
        return VectorStoreFactory.createMilvusVectorStore(host, port);
    }
}

Example 4: Qdrant Vector Store

Qdrant is also a widely used vector database. Here's an example of how to create a bean for it:

VectorStoreConfig.java

package com.example.demo.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStoreFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;

@Configuration
public class VectorStoreConfig {

    @Value("${qdrant.url}")
    private String qdrantUrl;

    @Value("${qdrant.api-key}")
    private String apiKey;

    @Bean
    public VectorStore vectorStore() {
        return VectorStoreFactory.createQdrantVectorStore(qdrantUrl, apiKey);
    }
}

Example 5: Vespa Vector Store

Vespa is another vector database that you might find useful. Here’s how you can create a bean for it:

VectorStoreConfig.java

package com.example.demo.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStoreFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;

@Configuration
public class VectorStoreConfig {

    @Value("${vespa.url}")
    private String vespaUrl;

    @Value("${vespa.api-key}")
    private String apiKey;

    @Bean
    public VectorStore vectorStore() {
        return VectorStoreFactory.createVespaVectorStore(vespaUrl, apiKey);
    }
}

Step-by-Step Process to Create and Store Vectors

  1. Create a service to generate and store vectors:

VectorService.java

package com.example.demo.service;

import org.springframework.ai.chat.ChatClient;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.Vector;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class VectorService {

    @Autowired
    private ChatClient chatClient;

    @Autowired
    private VectorStore vectorStore;

    public Vector createAndStoreVector(String text) {
        // Generate embedding using chat client (assuming LLM provides this functionality)
        String embeddingString = chatClient.generate(text);
        System.out.println("Generated Embedding: " + embeddingString);

        // Create vector from embedding string
        Vector vector = new Vector(embeddingString);

        // Store vector in the vector store
        vectorStore.storeVector(vector);

        return vector;
    }
}
  1. Create a REST controller to expose the functionality:

VectorController.java

package com.example.demo.controller;

import com.example.demo.service.VectorService;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.Vector;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/vectors")
public class VectorController {

    @Autowired
    private VectorService vectorService;

    @PostMapping
    public Vector createAndStoreVector(@RequestParam String text) {
        return vectorService.createAndStoreVector(text);
    }
}

Running the Application

Ensure your respective vector database is running locally. You can then start your Spring Boot application and use a tool like Postman or curl to test the endpoint.

Example POST Request

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/vectors" -d "text=Hello, world!"

This will generate an embedding for the text "Hello, world!", print it, and store it in your chosen vector database using the configured vector store instance.

For above qdrant local database show me how to create vector bean, show me only important code not full code

ChatGPT:

Here is the essential code for creating a VectorStore bean to connect to a local Qdrant database in a Spring Boot application:

Step 1: Add Configuration Properties

application.properties

qdrant.url=http://localhost:6333
qdrant.api-key=your-api-key

Step 2: Create Configuration Class

VectorStoreConfig.java

package com.example.demo.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStoreFactory;

@Configuration
public class VectorStoreConfig {

    @Value("${qdrant.url}")
    private String qdrantUrl;

    @Value("${qdrant.api-key}")
    private String apiKey;

    @Bean
    public VectorStore vectorStore() {
        return VectorStoreFactory.createQdrantVectorStore(qdrantUrl, apiKey);
    }
}

Step 3: Inject and Use VectorStore Bean

VectorService.java

package com.example.demo.service;

import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.Vector;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.util.List;

@Service
public class VectorService {

    @Autowired
    private VectorStore vectorStore;

    public Vector createAndStoreVector(String text) {
        // Assume some method to convert text to embedding
        Vector vector = new Vector(convertTextToEmbedding(text));
        vectorStore.storeVector(vector);
        return vector;
    }

    public Vector getVectorById(String id) {
        return vectorStore.getVectorById(id);
    }

    public List<Vector> searchSimilarVectors(Vector queryVector, int topK) {
        return vectorStore.searchSimilarVectors(queryVector, topK);
    }

    private String convertTextToEmbedding(String text) {
        // Implement your text to embedding logic here
        return text; // Placeholder
    }
}

Notes:

  • application.properties: Contains the configuration properties for connecting to the Qdrant database.

  • VectorStoreConfig.java: Defines the VectorStore bean, configured to connect to the Qdrant instance.

  • VectorService.java: Demonstrates basic usage of the VectorStore bean for creating, storing, and retrieving vectors.

This setup provides a minimal yet complete way to configure and use a Qdrant vector store within a Spring Boot application.

You:

What will be api key and how to get , since we are working locally qdrant db

ChatGPT:

When running Qdrant locally, you typically do not need an API key for basic operations. The API key is generally used when connecting to a managed Qdrant service or if you have configured your local Qdrant instance to require authentication.

Running Qdrant Locally Without an API Key

If you are running Qdrant locally and do not require an API key, you can modify the configuration as follows:

  1. Remove the API key configuration: application.properties
qdrant.url=http://localhost:6333
  1. Update your configuration class to omit the API key: VectorStoreConfig.java
package com.example.demo.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStoreFactory;

@Configuration
public class VectorStoreConfig {

    @Value("${qdrant.url}")
    private String qdrantUrl;

    @Bean
    public VectorStore vectorStore() {
        return VectorStoreFactory.createQdrantVectorStore(qdrantUrl, null);
    }
}

Running Qdrant with Authentication (Optional)

If you decide to secure your local Qdrant instance with an API key, you need to set up authentication within Qdrant's configuration files and obtain an API key.

  1. Generate an API Key:
  • You can generate a random string to use as an API key using various methods. For instance, you can use an online key generator or create one using command-line tools.
openssl rand -hex 32
  1. Configure Qdrant to Use the API Key:
  • Edit the Qdrant configuration file (e.g., config.yaml) to include the generated API key. Refer to the Qdrant documentation for details on where to place this configuration.
  1. Update Application Properties: application.properties
qdrant.url=http://localhost:6333
qdrant.api-key=your-generated-api-key
  1. Use the API Key in Your Configuration Class: VectorStoreConfig.java
package com.example.demo.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStore;
import org.springframework.ai.vectorstore.VectorStoreFactory;

@Configuration
public class VectorStoreConfig {

    @Value("${qdrant.url}")
    private String qdrantUrl;

    @Value("${qdrant.api-key}")
    private String apiKey;

    @Bean
    public VectorStore vectorStore() {
        return VectorStoreFactory.createQdrantVectorStore(qdrantUrl, apiKey);
    }
}

Summary

For a local Qdrant setup, you typically don't need an API key unless you specifically configure Qdrant for authentication. If no API key is needed, omit the apiKey parameter in your configuration. If you secure your Qdrant instance, generate an API key and configure your Spring Boot application to use it accordingly.

You:

Once my qdrant is started, tell me how to create table and what are column I need to add and then how to store some data to that table from command

ChatGPT:

To create a collection (similar to a table in SQL databases) and insert data into a Qdrant vector database, follow these steps:

Step 1: Start Qdrant

Ensure Qdrant is running. If it's not already started, use the following command:

docker run -d --name qdrant -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant

Step 2: Create a Collection

Use the Qdrant REST API to create a collection. A collection in Qdrant is analogous to a table in a relational database. Create Collection Command:

curl -X PUT "http://localhost:6333/collections/test_collection" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
           "vector_size": 4,
           "distance": "Cosine"
         }'

This command creates a collection named test_collection with vectors of size 4 and cosine distance metric.

Step 3: Insert Data

Insert vector data into the collection using the following command: Insert Data Command:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:6333/collections/test_collection/points" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
           "points": [
             {
               "id": 1,
               "vector": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4],
               "payload": {
                 "key": "value"
               }
             },
             {
               "id": 2,
               "vector": [0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8],
               "payload": {
                 "key": "another_value"
               }
             }
           ]
         }'

This command inserts two points into the test_collection collection. Each point consists of:

  • id: A unique identifier for the point.

  • vector: The vector data (e.g., [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4]).

  • payload: Additional metadata associated with the point.

Step 4: Retrieve Data

Retrieve the inserted data using the following command: Retrieve Data Command:

curl -X GET "http://localhost:6333/collections/test_collection/points/1"

This command fetches the point with id 1 from the test_collection collection.

Step 5: Search for Similar Vectors

Search for vectors similar to a given vector: Search Command:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:6333/collections/test_collection/points/search" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
           "vector": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4],
           "top": 2
         }'

This command searches for the top 2 vectors similar to the vector [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4] in the test_collection collection.

Summary

  • Start Qdrant: docker run -d --name qdrant -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant

  • Create Collection:

curl -X PUT "http://localhost:6333/collections/test_collection" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"vector_size": 4, "distance": "Cosine"}'
  • Insert Data:
curl -X POST "http://localhost:6333/collections/test_collection/points" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"points": [{"id": 1, "vector": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4], "payload": {"key": "value"}}, {"id": 2, "vector": [0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8], "payload": {"key": "another_value"}}]}'
  • Retrieve Data:
curl -X GET "http://localhost:6333/collections/test_collection/points/1"
  • Search Similar Vectors:
curl -X POST "http://localhost:6333/collections/test_collection/points/search" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"vector": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4], "top": 2}'

Ia this database is no SQL database

ChatGPT:

Yes, Qdrant is a NoSQL database. It is specifically designed as a vector database, which is used to store, manage, and search high-dimensional vectors and associated metadata. Unlike traditional relational databases, NoSQL databases like Qdrant are optimized for specific data models and queries, providing flexible schema and scalability to handle large datasets efficiently.

Key Characteristics of Qdrant as a NoSQL Database:

  1. Schema-less Design:
  • Qdrant, like other NoSQL databases, does not require a fixed schema, allowing for more flexibility in data storage. You can easily add or modify fields in your data without the need for schema migration.
  1. Optimized for Vector Search:
  • Qdrant is built to handle vector data, making it highly efficient for similarity searches and operations on high-dimensional vectors, which are common in machine learning and AI applications.
  1. Scalability:
  • NoSQL databases are designed to scale horizontally, meaning you can add more nodes to your database cluster to handle increased load and larger datasets.
  1. Flexible Data Model:
  • You can store various types of data in the payload of vectors, including long text strings, numeric values, and other metadata, without being constrained by a rigid schema.

Comparison with Traditional SQL Databases:

  • SQL Databases:

    • Fixed schema with predefined tables and columns.

    • Designed for ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) compliance to ensure transaction reliability.

    • Optimized for complex queries and joins across multiple tables.

  • NoSQL Databases (like Qdrant):

    • Flexible schema with the ability to store complex and nested data structures.

    • Often prioritize scalability and performance over strict ACID compliance.

    • Optimized for specific use cases, such as document storage, key-value pairs, or, in the case of Qdrant, vector search.

Conclusion

Qdrant's design as a vector database and its NoSQL characteristics make it particularly suited for applications involving machine learning, AI, and similarity searches on high-dimensional data. Its flexibility and scalability provide significant advantages for these use cases compared to traditional SQL databases.

Sure, here's an example of how to use OkHttp to fetch data from the given URL:

import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;
import okhttp3.Request;
import okhttp3.Response;

import java.io.IOException;

public class WebFetcher {

    private static final OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

    public static String fetchWebsiteData(String url) throws IOException {
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(url)
                .build();

        try (Response response = client.newCall(request).execute()) {
            if (!response.isSuccessful()) throw new IOException("Unexpected code " + response);

            return response.body().string();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String url = "https://docs.spring.io/spring-ai/reference/api/chatclient.html";
        try {
            String response = fetchWebsiteData(url);
            System.out.println(response);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

This code initializes an OkHttpClient, sends a GET request to the specified URL, and prints the response body as a string. This will fetch the HTML content of the specified web page.


Here’s how to extend the previous OkHttp code to clean the fetched HTML content using Jsoup:

Extended Code

import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;
import okhttp3.Request;
import okhttp3.Response;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;

import java.io.IOException;

public class WebFetcher {

    private static final OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

    public static String fetchWebsiteData(String url) throws IOException {
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(url)
                .build();

        try (Response response = client.newCall(request).execute()) {
            if (!response.isSuccessful()) throw new IOException("Unexpected code " + response);

            return response.body().string();
        }
    }

    public static String cleanHtml(String html) {
        Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
        return doc.text();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String url = "https://docs.spring.io/spring-ai/reference/api/chatclient.html";
        try {
            String htmlContent = fetchWebsiteData(url);
            String cleanedContent = cleanHtml(htmlContent);
            System.out.println(cleanedContent);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Explanation

  1. Fetch HTML Content:

    • The fetchWebsiteData method sends a GET request to the specified URL and retrieves the HTML content.
  2. Clean HTML Content:

    • The cleanHtml method uses Jsoup to parse the HTML content and extract the clean text.
  3. Main Method:

    • The main method fetches the HTML content, cleans it, and prints the cleaned content.

This approach fetches the web page content and cleans it to a readable format using Jsoup.

public class MainView extends VerticalLayout {

    public MainView() {
        // Create a text field
        TextField textField = new TextField("Enter your name");

        // Create a button
        Button button = new Button("Say Hello");

        // Add a click listener to the button
        button.addClickListener(event -> {
            String name = textField.getValue();
            Notification.show("Hello, " + name + "!");

Yes, you can show Markdown content in an HTML view in Vaadin. You can use a library like Flexmark to convert the Markdown to HTML and then display it using Vaadin's Html component.

Here is a simple example demonstrating how to achieve this:

Maven Dependency

First, add the Flexmark dependency to your build.gradle file to handle Markdown to HTML conversion:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.vladsch.flexmark:flexmark-all:0.62.2'
}

Service Layer

Create a service class that returns the Markdown content as a string.

package com.example.chatapp.service;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class MarkdownService {

    public String getMarkdownContent() {
        return "# Hello, Markdown!\nThis is a sample **Markdown** content.";
    }
}

Vaadin View

Create a package named view and inside it, create a class called MarkdownView.

package com.example.chatapp.view;

import com.example.chatapp.service.MarkdownService;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.html.Div;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.html.Html;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.orderedlayout.VerticalLayout;
import com.vaadin.flow.router.Route;
import com.vladsch.flexmark.html2md.converter.FlexmarkHtmlConverter;
import com.vladsch.flexmark.parser.Parser;
import com.vladsch.flexmark.util.ast.Node;
import com.vladsch.flexmark.util.data.MutableDataSet;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;

@Route("markdown")
public class MarkdownView extends VerticalLayout {

    private final MarkdownService markdownService;

    @Autowired
    public MarkdownView(MarkdownService markdownService) {
        this.markdownService = markdownService;

        // Get Markdown content from the service
        String markdownContent = markdownService.getMarkdownContent();

        // Convert Markdown to HTML
        String htmlContent = convertMarkdownToHtml(markdownContent);

        // Create an Html component to display the converted content
        Html html = new Html("<div>" + htmlContent + "</div>");

        // Add the Html component to the layout
        add(html);
    }

    private String convertMarkdownToHtml(String markdown) {
        MutableDataSet options = new MutableDataSet();
        Parser parser = Parser.builder(options).build();
        Node document = parser.parse(markdown);
        return com.vladsch.flexmark.html.HtmlRenderer.builder(options).build().render(document);
    }
}

Explanation:

  • MarkdownService Class:

    • This class provides the Markdown content. You can modify the getMarkdownContent method to return any Markdown string.
  • MarkdownView Class:

    • Annotated with @Route("markdown"), mapping it to the /markdown URL.
    • The markdownService is injected to fetch the Markdown content.
    • The convertMarkdownToHtml method uses Flexmark to convert the Markdown string to HTML.
    • The Html component is used to display the converted HTML content in the Vaadin view.

By following this approach, you can render Markdown content in your Vaadin application.


package com.example.application.views;

import com.vaadin.flow.component.button.Button;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.html.Div;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.orderedlayout.VerticalLayout;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.textfield.TextField;
import com.vaadin.flow.router.Route;

@Route("")
public class MainView extends VerticalLayout {

    public MainView() {
        // Create a text field for user input
        TextField textField = new TextField("Enter your input:");

        // Create a button to trigger the action
        Button button = new Button("Print Input");

        // Create a Div to display the output
        Div output = new Div();

        // Add a click listener to the button
        button.addClickListener(event -> {
            String userInput = textField.getValue();
            output.setText("User input: " + userInput);
        });

        // Add the components to the layout
        add(textField, button, output);
    }
}

To find the correct Docker socket path for Rancher Desktop, follow these steps:

Steps to Find the Docker Socket Path in Rancher Desktop

  1. Open Rancher Desktop:
    Launch the Rancher Desktop application on your computer.

  2. Navigate to Settings:

    • Look for settings or preferences in the Rancher Desktop application menu.
    • This might be under a gear icon, or in the top menu bar under Rancher Desktop > Preferences.
  3. Check Docker Configuration:

    • In the settings, find the section related to Docker or the container runtime.
    • Look for the Docker daemon or socket configuration details.
  4. Note the Socket Path:

    • The configuration should mention the Unix socket path that Rancher Desktop uses.
    • Common paths might be /var/run/docker.sock or a Rancher Desktop-specific path like /var/run/rancher-desktop.sock.

Example Configuration

If Rancher Desktop uses a specific socket path, configure your environment variable accordingly. For example, if the path is /var/run/rancher-desktop.sock, set the environment variable:

export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/rancher-desktop.sock

Add this line to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.) and reload the profile:

source ~/.bashrc  # or source ~/.zshrc

Verification

Run a Docker command to verify the connection:

docker ps

This command should list running Docker containers if the configuration is correct. If you continue to encounter issues, ensure Rancher Desktop is running properly and no other Docker services are conflicting.
