Chrima

hey everyone. I've been looking to switch from using an index persisted to disk (the standard from the example) to using chroma. I assumed this was recommended for making more mature apps? But I've noticed that chroma has been moved to legacy and none of the examples in documentation have been updated. Is this a sign that I shouldn't see chroma as a good standard option anymore? Should i stick with the more basic persisting of the index?

thanks

Where do you see chroma in legacy? It's fully supported

ddjl0.

from searching my local codebase (recently pip upgraded), class chromavectorstore was only found in https://github.com/run-llama/llama_index/blob/main/llama-index-legacy/llama_index/legacy/vector_stores/chroma.py

Not sure how much to read into the parent directory being "legacy"

Every integration is a package. ChromaVectorStore is here
https://github.com/run-llama/llama_index/blob/main/llama-index-integrations/vector_stores/llama-index-vector-stores-chroma/llama_index/vector_stores/chroma/base.py

pip install llama-index-vector-stores-chroma

When in doubt, trust the official docs

ddjl0.

thanks a lot @Logan M . I was using this, but i guess i only pip installed chroma, as opposed to the vector store package as well.
