	# Astra DB Vector store integration - **Description:** This PR adds a `VectorStore` implementation for DataStax Astra DB using its HTTP API - **Issue:** (no related issue) - **Dependencies:** A new required dependency is `astrapy` (`>=0.5.3`) which was added to pyptoject.toml, optional, as per guidelines - **Tag maintainer:** I recently mentioned to @baskaryan this integration was coming - **Twitter handle:** `@rsprrs` if you want to mention me This PR introduces the `AstraDB` vector store class, extensive integration test coverage, a reworking of the documentation which conflates Cassandra and Astra DB on a single "provider" page and a new, completely reworked vector-store example notebook (common to the Cassandra store, since parts of the flow is shared by the two APIs). I also took care in ensuring docs (and redirects therein) are behaving correctly. All style, linting, typechecks and tests pass as far as the `AstraDB` integration is concerned. I could build the documentation and check it all right (but ran into trouble with the `api_docs_build` makefile target which I could not verify: `Error: Unable to import module 'plan_and_execute.agent_executor' with error: No module named 'langchain_experimental'` was the first of many similar errors) Thank you for a review!

# cassandra-synonym-caching
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This template provides a simple chain template showcasing the usage of LLM Caching backed by Apache Cassandra® or Astra DB through CQL.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Environment Setup
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To set up your environment, you will need the following:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- an [Astra](https://astra.datastax.com) Vector Database (free tier is fine!). **You need a [Database Administrator token](https://awesome-astra.github.io/docs/pages/astra/create-token/#c-procedure)**, in particular the string starting with `AstraCS:...`;
 | 
						|
- likewise, get your [Database ID](https://awesome-astra.github.io/docs/pages/astra/faq/#where-should-i-find-a-database-identifier) ready, you will have to enter it below;
 | 
						|
- an **OpenAI API Key**. (More info [here](https://cassio.org/start_here/#llm-access), note that out-of-the-box this demo supports OpenAI unless you tinker with the code.)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
_Note:_ you can alternatively use a regular Cassandra cluster: to do so, make sure you provide the `USE_CASSANDRA_CLUSTER` entry as shown in `.env.template` and the subsequent environment variables to specify how to connect to it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## 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 cassandra-synonym-caching
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you want to add this to an existing project, you can just run:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```shell
 | 
						|
langchain app add cassandra-synonym-caching
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
And add the following code to your `server.py` file:
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
from cassandra_synonym_caching import chain as cassandra_synonym_caching_chain
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
add_routes(app, cassandra_synonym_caching_chain, path="/cassandra-synonym-caching")
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(Optional) Let's now configure LangSmith. 
 | 
						|
LangSmith will help us trace, monitor and debug LangChain applications. 
 | 
						|
LangSmith is currently in private beta, you can sign up [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/cassandra-synonym-caching/playground](http://127.0.0.1:8000/cassandra-synonym-caching/playground)  
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We can access the template from code with:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
from langserve.client import RemoteRunnable
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
runnable = RemoteRunnable("http://localhost:8000/cassandra-synonym-caching")
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 |
