This PR moves the in memory implementation to langchain-core.
* The implementation remains importable from langchain-community.
* Supporting utilities are marked as private for now.
This PR rolls out part of the new proposed interface for vectorstores
(https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/pull/23544) to existing store
implementations.
The PR makes the following changes:
1. Adds standard upsert, streaming_upsert, aupsert, astreaming_upsert
methods to the vectorstore.
2. Updates `add_texts` and `aadd_texts` to be non required with a
default implementation that delegates to `upsert` and `aupsert` if those
have been implemented. The original `add_texts` and `aadd_texts` methods
are problematic as they spread object specific information across
document and **kwargs. (e.g., ids are not a part of the document)
3. Adds a default implementation to `add_documents` and `aadd_documents`
that delegates to `upsert` and `aupsert` respectively.
4. Adds standard unit tests to verify that a given vectorstore
implements a correct read/write API.
A downside of this implementation is that it creates `upsert` with a
very similar signature to `add_documents`.
The reason for introducing `upsert` is to:
* Remove any ambiguities about what information is allowed in `kwargs`.
Specifically kwargs should only be used for information common to all
indexed data. (e.g., indexing timeout).
*Allow inheriting from an anticipated generalized interface for indexing
that will allow indexing `BaseMedia` (i.e., allow making a vectorstore
for images/audio etc.)
`add_documents` can be deprecated in the future in favor of `upsert` to
make sure that users have a single correct way of indexing content.

- **Description:** The InMemoryVectorStore is a nice and simple vector
store implementation for quick development and debugging. The current
implementation is quite limited in its functionalities. This PR extends
the functionalities by adding utility function to persist the vector
store to a json file and to load it from a json file. We choose the json
file format because it allows inspection of the database contents in a
text editor, which is great for debugging. Furthermore, it adds a
`filter` keyword that can be used to filter out documents on their
`page_content` or `metadata`.
- **Issue:** -
- **Dependencies:** -
- **Twitter handle:** @Vincent_Min
This is a basic VectorStore implementation using an in-memory dict to
store the documents.
It doesn't need any extra/optional dependency as it uses numpy which is
already a dependency of langchain.
This is useful for quick testing, demos, examples.
Also it allows to write vendor-neutral tutorials, guides, etc...
