What's the purpose refresh_cache in the below code snippet? If I set it to true, it throws error

Plain Text

UnstructuredReader = download_loader("UnstructuredReader", refresh_cache=True)
        loader = UnstructuredReader()
        document = loader.load_data(file=Path(html_file), split_documents=False)
        # read the txt file approach
        index = GPTVectorStoreIndex.from_documents(
            document, service_context=service_context
        )
        index.storage_context.persist()

Please stand by @Rouzbeh as I search the knowledge base. We are experiencing especially high traffic right now and might take longer than usual. :wave:

----------------------
The refresh_cache parameter in the download_loader function is used to control whether to refresh the cache when downloading the loader. If you set it to True, it will attempt to refresh the cache, which might cause an error if there's an issue with the cache or the loader.

In the code snippet you provided:

Plain Text

UnstructuredReader = download_loader("UnstructuredReader", refresh_cache=True)

If you're encountering an error when setting refresh_cache=True, you can try setting it to False:

Plain Text

UnstructuredReader = download_loader("UnstructuredReader", refresh_cache=False)

This will use the existing cache without attempting to refresh it. If you still encounter issues, there might be a problem with the loader or the cache itself.

Unfortunately, the provided extracts do not contain more information about the error you're encountering. If you need further assistance, you can refer to the LlamaIndex documentation (https://gpt-index.readthedocs.io/en/latest) for more information.

@kapa.ai Does it incure more costs if I set to False?

It won't cost anything, it just won't refresh the download module if the upstream library updates
