StorageContexy

At a glance

Hello, I have some questions about StorageContext and using 3rd party vector stores (say Weaviate/Redis).

  1. Can StorageContext only keep track of 1 vector store? What if I have more than 1? (just asking to understand this better)
  2. Why might I still want to use StorageContext if I am using a 3rd party vector store?

  1. Yes one instance of storageContext keeps one instance of vector store.
  1. You don't have to explicitly define the storageContext. You can load the index with
imdex=VectorStoreIndex.from_vector_store(vector_store=vector_store)

But if you have some use for docstore then storageContext makes it easy to wrap everything under a single hood.

Got it. This is what I understood as well.

Thanks a lot for confirming!
