# rag-elasticsearch
This template performs RAG using [Elasticsearch](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/vectorstores/elasticsearch).
It relies on sentence transformer `MiniLM-L6-v2` for embedding passages and questions.
## Environment Setup
Set the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable to access the OpenAI models.
To connect to your Elasticsearch instance, use the following environment variables:
```bash
export ELASTIC_CLOUD_ID = <ClOUD_ID>
export ELASTIC_USERNAME = <ClOUD_USERNAME>
export ELASTIC_PASSWORD = <ClOUD_PASSWORD>
```
For local development with Docker, use:
```bash
export ES_URL="http://localhost:9200"
```
And run an Elasticsearch instance in Docker with
```bash
docker run -p 9200:9200 -e "discovery.type=single-node" -e "xpack.security.enabled=false" -e "xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled=false" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.9.0
```
## Usage
To use this package, you should first have the LangChain CLI installed:
```shell
pip install -U langchain-cli
```
To create a new LangChain project and install this as the only package, you can do:
```shell
langchain app new my-app --package rag-elasticsearch
```
If you want to add this to an existing project, you can just run:
```shell
langchain app add rag-elasticsearch
```
And add the following code to your `server.py` file:
```python
from rag_elasticsearch import chain as rag_elasticsearch_chain
add_routes(app, rag_elasticsearch_chain, path="/rag-elasticsearch")
```
(Optional) Let's now configure LangSmith.
LangSmith will help us trace, monitor and debug LangChain applications.
You can sign up for LangSmith [here](https://smith.langchain.com/).
If you don't have access, you can skip this section
```shell
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project> # if not specified, defaults to "default"
```
If you are inside this directory, then you can spin up a LangServe instance directly by:
```shell
langchain serve
```
This will start the FastAPI app with a server is running locally at
[http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
We can see all templates at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs](http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs)
We can access the playground at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/rag-elasticsearch/playground](http://127.0.0.1:8000/rag-elasticsearch/playground)
We can access the template from code with:
```python
from langserve.client import RemoteRunnable
runnable = RemoteRunnable("http://localhost:8000/rag-elasticsearch")
```
For loading the fictional workplace documents, run the following command from the root of this repository:
```bash
python ingest.py
```
However, you can choose from a large number of document loaders [here](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/document_loaders).
