# Parameterize Redis vectorstore index
Redis vectorstore allows for three different distance metrics: `L2`
(flat L2), `COSINE`, and `IP` (inner product). Currently, the
`Redis._create_index` method hard codes the distance metric to COSINE.
I've parameterized this as an argument in the `Redis.from_texts` method
-- pretty simple.
Fixes#4368
## Before submitting
I've added an integration test showing indexes can be instantiated with
all three values in the `REDIS_DISTANCE_METRICS` literal. An example
notebook seemed overkill here. Normal API documentation would be more
appropriate, but no standards are in place for that yet.
## Who can review?
Not sure who's responsible for the vectorstore module... Maybe @eyurtsev
/ @hwchase17 / @agola11 ?
