Please stand by @Joey as I search the knowledge base. I normally take about 20 seconds or so. :wave:
----------------------
The collection_name in Qdrant, as used in LlamaIndex, refers to the name of the Qdrant collection where embeddings and documents are stored. This parameter is used in both the QdrantVectorStore and QdrantReader classes in LlamaIndex.

In the QdrantVectorStore class, the collection_name is a required parameter that specifies the name of the Qdrant collection where the vector store will store its embeddings and documents. During query time, the index uses Qdrant to query for the top k most similar nodes in this collection. source ()

In the QdrantReader class, the collection_name is a parameter in the load_data method, which is used to specify the Qdrant collection from which to load data. source ()

Here is an example of how collection_name is used in code:

Plain Text
vector_store = QdrantVectorStore(client=client, collection_name="paul_graham")


In this example, a QdrantVectorStore is being created with the collection_name set to "paul_graham". This means that the vector store will store its embeddings and documents in the Qdrant collection named "paul_graham".

@kapa.ai How do i store it and load it later for querying?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

To store your data in LlamaIndex, you can use the .persist() method of the StorageContext associated with your index. This method writes all the data to disk at the location specified. Here's an example:

Plain Text
index.storage_context.persist(persist_dir="<persist_dir>")

In this example, <persist_dir> is the directory where you want to store your data. If you don't specify a directory, the data will be stored in a directory named ./storage by default (source ()).

To load your data later for querying, you can use the load_index_from_storage function from the llama_index module. Here's an example:

Plain Text
from llama_index import StorageContext, load_index_from_storage

# rebuild storage context
storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(persist_dir="<persist_dir>")

# load index
index = load_index_from_storage(storage_context)

In this example, <persist_dir> is the directory where you stored your data. The load_index_from_storage function will load the index from this directory, and you can then use this index for querying (source ()).

Here's a more complete example that checks if the storage already exists, and if it does, it loads the existing index, otherwise, it generates and stores a new index:

```python
import os.path
from llama_index import (
VectorStoreIndex,
SimpleDirectoryReader,
StorageContext,
load_index_from_storage,
)

check if storage already exists

PERSIST_DIR = "./storage"
if not os.path.exists(PERSIST_DIR):
# load the documents and create the index
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader("data").load_data()
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
# store it for later
index.storage_context.persist(persist_dir=PERSIST_DIR)
else:
# load the existing index
storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(persist_dir=PERSIST_DIR)
index = load_index_from_storage(storage_context)
`` In this example, you can replace "data" with the path to your data, and ./storage` with the path to the directory where you want to store your data (source ()).

@kapa.ai Can you give me a sample code with all the above integrate together?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Sure, here's a sample code that integrates all the steps together:

Plain Text
import os
from llama_index import (
    VectorStoreIndex,
    SimpleDirectoryReader,
    StorageContext,
    load_index_from_storage,
)

# Define your data directory and persist directory
DATA_DIR = "<path_to_your_data>"
PERSIST_DIR = "<path_to_your_persist_directory>"

# Check if storage already exists
if not os.path.exists(PERSIST_DIR):
    # Load the documents and create the index
    documents = SimpleDirectoryReader(DATA_DIR).load_data()
    index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
    
    # Store it for later
    index.storage_context.persist(persist_dir=PERSIST_DIR)
else:
    # Load the existing index
    storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(persist_dir=PERSIST_DIR)
    index = load_index_from_storage(storage_context)

# Now you can use the index for querying
response = index.query("What did the author do growing up?")
print(response)


In this example, replace <path_to_your_data> with the path to your data and <path_to_your_persist_directory> with the path to the directory where you want to store your data. This script will check if the storage already exists. If it does, it will load the existing index. If it doesn't, it will load the documents from your data directory, create a new index, and store it in the persist directory. After that, you can use the index for querying.

@kapa.ai Can you also integrate Splade above?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm sorry, but the provided extracts do not contain any information or code examples related to integrating Splade with LlamaIndex. Therefore, I'm unable to provide a sample code for this integration. I recommend checking the official LlamaIndex documentation or the Splade documentation for more information on this topic.
