# Description
[Vector store base
class](4cdaca67dc/libs/core/langchain_core/vectorstores/base.py (L65))
currently expects `ids` to be passed in and that is what it passes along
to the AzureSearch vector store when attempting to `add_texts()`.
However AzureSearch expects `keys` to be passed in. When they are not
present, AzureSearch `add_embeddings()` makes up new uuids. This is a
problem when trying to run indexing. [Indexing code
expects](b297af5482/libs/core/langchain_core/indexing/api.py (L371))
the documents to be uploaded using provided ids. Currently AzureSearch
ignores `ids` passed from `indexing` and makes up new ones. Later when
`indexer` attempts to delete removed file, it uses the `id` it had
stored when uploading the document, however it was uploaded under
different `id`.

**Description**
Fix the asyncronous methods to retrieve documents from AzureSearch
VectorStore. The previous changes from [this
commit](ffe6ca986e)
create a similar code for the syncronous methods and the asyncronous
ones but the asyncronous client return an asyncronous iterator
"AsyncSearchItemPaged" as said in the issue #24740.
To solve this issue, the syncronous iterators in asyncronous methods
where changed to asyncronous iterators.
@chrislrobert said in [this
comment](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/24740#issuecomment-2254168302)
that there was a still a flaw due to `with` blocks that close the client
after each call. I removed this `with` blocks in the `async_client`
following the same pattern as the sync `client`.
In order to close up the connections, a __del__ method is included to
gently close up clients once the vectorstore object is destroyed.
**Issue:** #24740 and #24064
**Dependencies:** No new dependencies for this change
**Example notebook:** I created a notebook just to test the changes work
and gives the same results as the syncronous methods for vector and
hybrid search. With these changes, the asyncronous methods in the
retriever work as well.

**Lint and test**: Passes the tests and the linter
Upgrade to using a literal for specifying the extra which is the
recommended approach in pydantic 2.
This works correctly also in pydantic v1.
```python
from pydantic.v1 import BaseModel
class Foo(BaseModel, extra="forbid"):
x: int
Foo(x=5, y=1)
```
And
```python
from pydantic.v1 import BaseModel
class Foo(BaseModel):
x: int
class Config:
extra = "forbid"
Foo(x=5, y=1)
```
## Enum -> literal using grit pattern:
```
engine marzano(0.1)
language python
or {
`extra=Extra.allow` => `extra="allow"`,
`extra=Extra.forbid` => `extra="forbid"`,
`extra=Extra.ignore` => `extra="ignore"`
}
```
Resorted attributes in config and removed doc-string in case we will
need to deal with going back and forth between pydantic v1 and v2 during
the 0.3 release. (This will reduce merge conflicts.)
## Sort attributes in Config:
```
engine marzano(0.1)
language python
function sort($values) js {
return $values.text.split(',').sort().join("\n");
}
class_definition($name, $body) as $C where {
$name <: `Config`,
$body <: block($statements),
$values = [],
$statements <: some bubble($values) assignment() as $A where {
$values += $A
},
$body => sort($values),
}
```
Raise `LangChainException` instead of `Exception`. This alleviates the
need for library users to use bare try/except to handle exceptions
raised by `AzureSearch`.

**Description**:
This PR fixes a bug described in the issue in #24064, when using the
AzureSearch Vectorstore with the asyncronous methods to do search which
is also the method used for the retriever. The proposed change includes
just change the access of the embedding as optional because is it not
used anywhere to retrieve documents. Actually, the syncronous methods of
retrieval do not use the embedding neither.
With this PR the code given by the user in the issue works.
```python
vectorstore = AzureSearch(
azure_search_endpoint=os.getenv("AI_SEARCH_ENDPOINT_SECRET"),
azure_search_key=os.getenv("AI_SEARCH_API_KEY"),
index_name=os.getenv("AI_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME_SECRET"),
fields=fields,
embedding_function=encoder,
)
retriever = vectorstore.as_retriever(search_type="hybrid", k=2)
await vectorstore.avector_search("what is the capital of France")
await retriever.ainvoke("what is the capital of France")
```
**Issue**:
The Azure Search Vectorstore is not working when searching for documents
with asyncronous methods, as described in issue #24064
**Dependencies**:
There are no extra dependencies required for this change.

**Description:**
- Extend AzureSearch with `maximal_marginal_relevance` (for vector and
hybrid search)
- Add construction `from_embeddings` - if the user has already embedded
the texts
- Add `add_embeddings`
- Refactor common parts (`_simple_search`, `_results_to_documents`,
`_reorder_results_with_maximal_marginal_relevance`)
- Add `vector_search_dimensions` as a parameter to the constructor to
avoid extra calls to `embed_query` (most of the time the user applies
the same model and knows the dimension)
**Issue:** none
**Dependencies:** none
- [x] **Add tests and docs**: The docstrings have been added to the new
functions, and unified for the existing ones. The example notebook is
great in illustrating the main usage of AzureSearch, adding the new
methods would only dilute the main content.
- [x] **Lint and test**

- **Description:** The `semantic_hybrid_search_with_score_and_rerank`
method of `AzureSearch` contains a hardcoded field name "metadata" for
the document metadata in the Azure AI Search Index. Adding such a field
is optional when creating an Azure AI Search Index, as other snippets
from `AzureSearch` test for the existence of this field before trying to
access it. Furthermore, the metadata field name shouldn't be hardcoded
as "metadata" and use the `FIELDS_METADATA` variable that defines this
field name instead. In the current implementation, any index without a
metadata field named "metadata" will yield an error if a semantic answer
is returned by the search in
`semantic_hybrid_search_with_score_and_rerank`.
- **Issue:** https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/18731
- **Prior fix to this bug:** This bug was fixed in this PR
https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/pull/15642 by adding a check
for the existence of the metadata field named `FIELDS_METADATA` and
retrieving a value for the key called "key" in that metadata if it
exists. If the field named `FIELDS_METADATA` was not present, an empty
string was returned. This fix was removed in this PR
https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/pull/15659 (see
ed1ffca911#).
@lz-chen: could you confirm this wasn't intentional?
- **New fix to this bug:** I believe there was an oversight in the logic
of the fix from
[#1564](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/pull/15642) which I
explain below.
The `semantic_hybrid_search_with_score_and_rerank` method creates a
dictionary `semantic_answers_dict` with semantic answers returned by the
search as follows.
5c2f7e6b2b/libs/community/langchain_community/vectorstores/azuresearch.py (L574-L581)
The keys in this dictionary are the unique document ids in the index, if
I understand the [documentation of semantic
answers](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/semantic-answers)
in Azure AI Search correctly. When the method transforms a search result
into a `Document` object, an "answer" key is added to the document's
metadata. The value for this "answer" key should be the semantic answer
returned by the search from this document, if such an answer is
returned. The match between a `Document` object and the semantic answers
returned by the search should be done through the unique document id,
which is used as a key for the `semantic_answers_dict` dictionary. This
id is defined in the search result's field named `FIELDS_ID`. I added a
check to avoid any error in case no field named `FIELDS_ID` exists in a
search result (which shouldn't happen in theory).
A benefit of this approach is that this fix should work whether or not
the Azure AI Search Index contains a metadata field.
@levalencia could you confirm my analysis and test the fix?
@raunakshrivastava7 do you agree with the fix?
Thanks for the help!
