## DocArray as a Retriever
[DocArray](https://github.com/docarray/docarray) is an open-source tool
for managing your multi-modal data. It offers flexibility to store and
search through your data using various document index backends. This PR
introduces `DocArrayRetriever` - which works with any available backend
and serves as a retriever for Langchain apps.
Also, I added 2 notebooks:
DocArray Backends - intro to all 5 currently supported backends, how to
initialize, index, and use them as a retriever
DocArray Usage - showcasing what additional search parameters you can
pass to create versatile retrievers
Example:
```python
from docarray.index import InMemoryExactNNIndex
from docarray import BaseDoc, DocList
from docarray.typing import NdArray
from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.retrievers import DocArrayRetriever
# define document schema
class MyDoc(BaseDoc):
description: str
description_embedding: NdArray[1536]
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
# create documents
descriptions = ["description 1", "description 2"]
desc_embeddings = embeddings.embed_documents(texts=descriptions)
docs = DocList[MyDoc](
[
MyDoc(description=desc, description_embedding=embedding)
for desc, embedding in zip(descriptions, desc_embeddings)
]
)
# initialize document index with data
db = InMemoryExactNNIndex[MyDoc](docs)
# create a retriever
retriever = DocArrayRetriever(
index=db,
embeddings=embeddings,
search_field="description_embedding",
content_field="description",
)
# find the relevant document
doc = retriever.get_relevant_documents("action movies")
print(doc)
```

"One Retriever to merge them all, One Retriever to expose them, One
Retriever to bring them all and in and process them with Document
formatters."
Hi @dev2049! Here bothering people again!
I'm using this simple idea to deal with merging the output of several
retrievers into one.
I'm aware of DocumentCompressorPipeline and
ContextualCompressionRetriever but I don't think they allow us to do
something like this. Also I was getting in trouble to get the pipeline
working too. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
This allow to do some sort of "retrieval" preprocessing and then using
the retrieval with the curated results anywhere you could use a
retriever.
My use case is to generate diff indexes with diff embeddings and sources
for a more colorful results then filtering them with one or many
document formatters.
I saw some people looking for something like this, here:
https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues/3991
and something similar here:
https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues/5555
This is just a proposal I know I'm missing tests , etc. If you think
this is a worth it idea I can work on tests and anything you want to
change.
Let me know!

## Before submitting
- no test
- no document
## Who can review?
Community members can review the PR once tests pass. Tag
maintainers/contributors who might be interested:
- added `Wikipedia` retriever. It is effectively a wrapper for
`WikipediaAPIWrapper`. It wrapps load() into get_relevant_documents()
- sorted `__all__` in the `retrievers/__init__`
- added integration tests for the WikipediaRetriever
- added an example (as Jupyter notebook) for the WikipediaRetriever
The forward ref annotations don't get updated if we only iimport with
type checking
