Module cache_checker

CacheChecker

Checks for the presence of documents in a Document Store based on a specified field in each document's metadata.

If matching documents are found, they are returned as hits. If not, the items are returned as misses, indicating they are not in the cache.

Usage example:

from haystack import Document
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
from haystack.components.caching.cache_checker import CacheChecker

docstore = InMemoryDocumentStore()
documents = [
    Document(content="doc1", meta={"url": "https://example.com/1"}),
    Document(content="doc2", meta={"url": "https://example.com/2"}),
    Document(content="doc3", meta={"url": "https://example.com/1"}),
    Document(content="doc4", meta={"url": "https://example.com/2"}),
]
docstore.write_documents(documents)
checker = CacheChecker(docstore, cache_field="url")
results = checker.run(items=["https://example.com/1", "https://example.com/5"])
assert results == {"hits": [documents[0], documents[2]], "misses": ["https://example.com/5"]}
