**Description:**
The current implementation of `DynamoDBChatMessageHistory` updates the
`History` attribute for a given chat history record by first extracting
the existing contents into memory, appending the new message, and then
using the `put_item` method to put the record back. This has the effect
of overwriting any additional attributes someone may want to include in
the record, like chat session metadata.
This PR suggests changing from using `put_item` to using `update_item`
instead which will keep any other attributes in the record untouched.
The change is backward compatible since
1. `update_item` is an "upsert" operation, creating the record if it
doesn't already exist, otherwise updating it
2. It only touches the db insert call and passes the exact same
information. The rest of the class is left untouched
**Dependencies:**
None
**Tests and docs:**
No unit tests currently exist for the `DynamoDBChatMessageHistory`
class. This PR adds the file
`libs/community/tests/unit_tests/chat_message_histories/test_dynamodb_chat_message_history.py`
to test the `add_message` and `clear` methods. I wanted to use the moto
library to mock DynamoDB calls but I could not get poetry to resolve it
so I mocked those calls myself in the test. Therefore, no test
dependencies were added.
The change was tested on a test DynamoDB table as well. The first three
images below show the current behavior. First a message is added to chat
history, then a value is inserted in the record in some other attribute,
and finally another message is added to the record, destroying the other
attribute.



The next three images show the new behavior. Once again a value is added
to an attribute other than the History attribute, but now when the
followup message is added it does not destroy that other attribute. The
History attribute itself is unaffected by this change.



The doc located at `docs/docs/integrations/memory/aws_dynamodb.ipynb`
required no changes and was tested as well.

Add chat history store based on Kafka.
Files added:
`libs/community/langchain_community/chat_message_histories/kafka.py`
`docs/docs/integrations/memory/kafka_chat_message_history.ipynb`
New issue to be created for future improvement:
1. Async method implementation.
2. Message retrieval based on timestamp.
3. Support for other configs when connecting to cloud hosted Kafka (e.g.
add `api_key` field)
4. Improve unit testing & integration testing.
# package community: Fix SQLChatMessageHistory
## Description
Here is a rewrite of `SQLChatMessageHistory` to properly implement the
asynchronous approach. The code circumvents [issue
22021](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/22021) by
accepting a synchronous call to `def add_messages()` in an asynchronous
scenario. This bypasses the bug.
For the same reasons as in [PR
22](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain-postgres/pull/32) of
`langchain-postgres`, we use a lazy strategy for table creation. Indeed,
the promise of the constructor cannot be fulfilled without this. It is
not possible to invoke a synchronous call in a constructor. We
compensate for this by waiting for the next asynchronous method call to
create the table.
The goal of the `PostgresChatMessageHistory` class (in
`langchain-postgres`) is, among other things, to be able to recycle
database connections. The implementation of the class is problematic, as
we have demonstrated in [issue
22021](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/22021).
Our new implementation of `SQLChatMessageHistory` achieves this by using
a singleton of type (`Async`)`Engine` for the database connection. The
connection pool is managed by this singleton, and the code is then
reentrant.
We also accept the type `str` (optionally complemented by `async_mode`.
I know you don't like this much, but it's the only way to allow an
asynchronous connection string).
In order to unify the different classes handling database connections,
we have renamed `connection_string` to `connection`, and `Session` to
`session_maker`.
Now, a single transaction is used to add a list of messages. Thus, a
crash during this write operation will not leave the database in an
unstable state with a partially added message list. This makes the code
resilient.
We believe that the `PostgresChatMessageHistory` class is no longer
necessary and can be replaced by:
```
PostgresChatMessageHistory = SQLChatMessageHistory
```
This also fixes the bug.

Thank you for contributing to LangChain!
- [x] **PR title**: community: Add Zep Cloud components + docs +
examples
- [x] **PR message**:
We have recently released our new zep-cloud sdks that are compatible
with Zep Cloud (not Zep Open Source). We have also maintained our Cloud
version of langchain components (ChatMessageHistory, VectorStore) as
part of our sdks. This PRs goal is to port these components to langchain
community repo, and close the gap with the existing Zep Open Source
components already present in community repo (added
ZepCloudMemory,ZepCloudVectorStore,ZepCloudRetriever).
Also added a ZepCloudChatMessageHistory components together with an
expression language example ported from our repo. We have left the
original open source components intact on purpose as to not introduce
any breaking changes.
- **Issue:** -
- **Dependencies:** Added optional dependency of our new cloud sdk
`zep-cloud`
- **Twitter handle:** @paulpaliychuk51
- [x] **Add tests and docs**
- [x] **Lint and test**: Run `make format`, `make lint` and `make test`
from the root of the package(s) you've modified. See contribution
guidelines for more: https://python.langchain.com/docs/contributing/
Additional guidelines:
- Make sure optional dependencies are imported within a function.
- Please do not add dependencies to pyproject.toml files (even optional
ones) unless they are required for unit tests.
- Most PRs should not touch more than one package.
- Changes should be backwards compatible.
- If you are adding something to community, do not re-import it in
langchain.
If no one reviews your PR within a few days, please @-mention one of
baskaryan, efriis, eyurtsev, hwchase17.
This PR moves the implementations for chat history to core. So it's
easier to determine which dependencies need to be broken / add
deprecation warnings
This PR should make it easier for linters to do type checking and for IDEs to jump to definition of code.
See #20050 as a template for this PR.
- As a byproduct: Added 3 missed `test_imports`.
- Added missed `SolarChat` in to __init___.py Added it into test_import
ut.
- Added `# type: ignore` to fix linting. It is not clear, why linting
errors appear after ^ changes.

Issue `langchain_community.cross_encoders` didn't have flattening
namespace code in the __init__.py file.
Changes:
- added code to flattening namespaces (used #20050 as a template)
- added ut for a change
- added missed `test_imports` for `chat_loaders` and
`chat_message_histories` modules
