    "# Caching Embeddings\n",
    "\n",
    "Embeddings can be stored or temporarily cached to avoid needing to recompute them.\n",
    "\n",
    "Caching embeddings can be done using a `CacheBackedEmbeddings`.\n",
    "\n",
    "The cache backed embedder is a wrapper around an embedder that caches\n",
    "embeddings in a key-value store. \n",
    "\n",
    "The text is hashed and the hash is used as the key in the cache.\n",
    "\n",
    "\n",
    "The main supported way to initialized a `CacheBackedEmbeddings` is `from_bytes_store`. This takes in the following parameters:\n",
    "\n",
    "- underlying_embedder: The embedder to use for embedding.\n",
    "- document_embedding_cache: The cache to use for storing document embeddings.\n",
    "- namespace: (optional, defaults to `\"\"`) The namespace to use for document cache. This namespace is used to avoid collisions with other caches. For example, set it to the name of the embedding model used.\n",
    "\n",
    "**Attention**: Be sure to set the `namespace` parameter to avoid collisions of the same text embedded using different embeddings models."
