The community member is trying to build a simple local vector store index that supports hybrid search, which is a requirement for their llama-pack project. They have tried various guides online, but the provided indexes do not support hybrid queries. The community member cannot use free or small instances of services like Pinecone as they are just test fixtures and cannot expect the llama-index repo to have their credentials.
The comments suggest two options: mocking the functionality or implementing something that overrides the SimpleVectorStore and accepts hybrid search. The community member decides to go with the second option, as it seems easier to just override one class method. They are currently working on writing a monkeypatch into SimpleVectorStore to accept hybrid queries, even if they are not actually implementing the functionality but just returning static results. The community member is making progress and is thankful for the help from another community member, Logan M.
Simple local vector store index that supports hybrid search?
Alright I've got a weird problem trying to wrap up a llama-pack:
I NEED a vector store index object that has text and vector representations of its data. How can I build a simple vector store with a small corpus of local data (it really doesn't have to be much, just enough to answer 1-2 questions) that supports HYBRID SEARCH. Most of the guides online I've seen build from textnodes directly or documents directly, none of these work because the index provided in those examples does NOT support hybrid queries. I can't use free or small instances of services like Pinecone either because these are just test fixtures and I can't expect the llama-index repo to have my credentials (nor is it best practice)
This has turned out to be more difficult than expected, but still the best route. I am just writing a monkeypatch into SimpleVectorStore to accept hybrid queries. To do this, I am not actually implementing the functionality but just returning static results when a hybrid query comes in. I have to return it in the class VectorStoreQueryResult and there is scant documentation around that it seems but I am running tests and have figured out what I need to do. Onward to tomorrow 😄
