Please stand by @ihshan :) as I search the knowledge base. I normally take about 20 seconds or so. :wave:

Yes, you can use the RouterQueryEngine in LlamaIndex. It is composed on top of other query engines as tools. Here is an example of how to use it:

Plain Text
from llama_index.core.query_engine import RouterQueryEngine
from llama_index.core.selectors import PydanticSingleSelector
from llama_index.core.selectors.pydantic_selectors import Pydantic
from llama_index.core.tools import QueryEngineTool
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, SummaryIndex

# define query engines
...

# initialize tools
list_tool = QueryEngineTool.from_defaults(
    query_engine=list_query_engine,
    description="Useful for summarization questions related to the data source",
)
vector_tool = QueryEngineTool.from_defaults(
    query_engine=vector_query_engine,
    description="Useful for retrieving specific context related to the data source",
)

# initialize router query engine (single selection, pydantic)
query_engine = RouterQueryEngine(
    selector=PydanticSingleSelector.from_defaults(),
    query_engine_tools=[
        list_tool,
        vector_tool,
    ],
)
query_engine.query("<query>")

(Source: LlamaIndex Documentation ())

As for the chat history, you can retrieve it using the chat_history property available in various chat engines such as BaseChatEngine, CondenseQuestionChatEngine, ContextChatEngine, CondensePlusContextChatEngine, and SimpleChatEngine. Here is an example of how to get the chat history:

Plain Text
chat_history = self.chat_history

(Source: LlamaIndex Documentation ())
However, the metadata for citation is not directly mentioned in the provided knowledge sources. You might need to refer to the specific documentation or API reference of the chat engine you are using for more details on how to retrieve metadata.

@kapa.ai I cannot see how you integrate chat_history with RouterQueryEngine ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

I apologize for the confusion. The RouterQueryEngine itself does not directly handle chat history. The chat history is typically managed at the chat engine level, not the query engine level.

In LlamaIndex, chat engines like CondenseQuestionChatEngine or CondensePlusContextChatEngine maintain the conversation history through a memory module like ChatMemoryBuffer. They generate a standalone question from the conversation context and the last message, and then pass this to the query engine for retrieval. Here's an example:

Plain Text
from llama_index.core.memory import ChatMemoryBuffer
from llama_index.core.chat_engine import CondensePlusContextChatEngine

memory = ChatMemoryBuffer.from_defaults(token_limit=3900)

chat_engine = CondensePlusContextChatEngine.from_defaults(
    index.as_retriever(),
    memory=memory,
    llm=llm,
    context_prompt=(
        "You are a chatbot, able to have normal interactions, as well as talk"
        " about the Kendrick and Drake beef."
        "Here are the relevant documents for the context:\n"
        "{context_str}"
        "\nInstruction: Use the previous chat history, or the context above, to interact and help the user."
    ),
    verbose=True,
)

(Source: LlamaIndex GitHub ())

In this example, the CondensePlusContextChatEngine uses the ChatMemoryBuffer to maintain the chat history. The chat engine then uses this history to generate a standalone question, which is passed to the query engine (in this case, a retriever) for processing.
If you want to use RouterQueryEngine in a similar setup, you would replace index.as_retriever() in the CondensePlusContextChatEngine initialization with your RouterQueryEngine instance. The chat engine would then handle the chat history and pass the appropriate queries to the RouterQueryEngine.

@kapa.ai Can you integrate RouterQueryEngine, PandasQueryEngine, chat history and metadata (I want to create citation from which document that PandasQueryEngine get info)
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, you can integrate RouterQueryEngine, PandasQueryEngine, chat history, and metadata. However, the integration of these components is not straightforward and requires a good understanding of how each component works in LlamaIndex.

Here's a general idea of how you might approach this:

  1. PandasQueryEngine: You can create a PandasQueryEngine by loading your data into a pandas DataFrame and then passing it to the PandasQueryEngine. This query engine can then be used to retrieve information based on the queries.
  1. RouterQueryEngine: You can use the RouterQueryEngine to manage multiple query engines, including the PandasQueryEngine. You would initialize the RouterQueryEngine with the PandasQueryEngine as one of its tools.
  1. Chat History: The chat history is typically managed at the chat engine level. You can use a chat engine like CondensePlusContextChatEngine and a memory module like ChatMemoryBuffer to maintain the chat history.
  1. Metadata for Citation: If your pandas DataFrame includes metadata that you want to use for citation, you can include this in the responses from the PandasQueryEngine. You would need to customize the PandasQueryEngine to include this metadata in its responses.
Here's a very simplified example of how you might initialize these components:

```python
from llama_index.core.query_engine import RouterQueryEngine, PandasQueryEngine
from llama_index.core.tools import QueryEngineTool
from llama_index.core.memory import ChatMemoryBuffer
from llama_index.core.chat_engine import CondensePlusContextChatEngine

Initialize your pandas DataFrame

df = ...

Create a PandasQueryEngine

pandas_query_engine = PandasQueryEngine(df)

Create a QueryEngineTool with the PandasQueryEngine

pandas_tool = QueryEngineTool.from_defaults(
query_engine=pandas_query_engine,
description="Useful for retrieving specific context related to the data source",
)

Initialize the RouterQueryEngine with the PandasQueryEngine as a tool

query_engine = RouterQueryEngine(
selector=PydanticSingleSelector.from_defaults(),
query_engine_tools=[pandas_tool],
)

Initialize the chat memory and chat engine

memory = ChatMemoryBuffer.from_defaults(token_limit=3900)
chat_engine = CondensePlusContextChatEngine.from_defaults(
query_engine,
memory=memory,
llm=llm,
context_prompt=(
"You are a chatbot, able to have normal interactions, as well as talk"
" about the Kendrick and Drake beef."
"Here are the relevant documents for the context:\n"
"{{context_str}}"
"\nInstruction: Use the previous chat history, or the context above, to interact and help the user."
),
verbose=True,
)
`` Please note that this is a very simplified example and might not work as-is. You would need to customize it based on your specific requirements and data. Also, this example does not show how to include metadata for citation in the responses from the PandasQueryEngine. You would need to customize the PandasQueryEngine` to include this metadata in its responses.

@kapa.ai can you show me how to get metadata, which document that is used by PandasQueryEngine
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The PandasQueryEngine in LlamaIndex is designed to operate on a pandas DataFrame. It doesn't directly interact with documents or metadata in the same way as a document retrieval-based query engine would. Instead, it performs operations on the DataFrame based on the queries it receives.

If you want to track which rows of the DataFrame are being used in a response, you would need to customize the PandasQueryEngine. One way to do this might be to include an additional column in your DataFrame that contains metadata about the source of each row. Then, you could modify the PandasQueryEngine to include this metadata in its responses.

However, this would require a good understanding of the LlamaIndex codebase and potentially significant modifications to the PandasQueryEngine. It's also worth noting that this approach might not be suitable for all use cases, as it assumes that each row in your DataFrame corresponds to a distinct document or source.

For more detailed information on how to use and customize the PandasQueryEngine, please refer to the LlamaIndex documentation () and source code ().

Can you give me code example for that @kapa.ai

I'm sorry for any confusion, but the provided knowledge sources do not contain a specific example of how to modify the PandasQueryEngine to include metadata about the source of each row in its responses.

However, I can provide a general idea of how you might approach this. Please note that this is a conceptual example and may not work as-is. You would need to customize it based on your specific requirements and data.

Plain Text
import pandas as pd
from llama_index.core.query_engine import PandasQueryEngine

# Assume you have a DataFrame 'df' with a 'metadata' column
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'column1': ['data1', 'data2', 'data3'],
    'column2': ['more_data1', 'more_data2', 'more_data3'],
    'metadata': ['source1', 'source2', 'source3']
})

# You could subclass PandasQueryEngine to include metadata in its responses
class CustomPandasQueryEngine(PandasQueryEngine):
    def query(self, query):
        # Use the parent class's query method to get the response
        response = super().query(query)

        # Add the metadata to the response
        # This assumes that 'response' is a DataFrame that includes a 'metadata' column
        response_with_metadata = response.copy()
        response_with_metadata['metadata'] = df.loc[response.index, 'metadata']

        return response_with_metadata

# Then you can use your custom query engine
custom_query_engine = CustomPandasQueryEngine(df)


This is a very simplified example and might not work as-is. You would need to customize it based on your specific requirements and data. Also, this example does not show how to use this custom query engine with a RouterQueryEngine or a chat engine. You would need to integrate it into your setup accordingly.
