OpenSearch integration for Haystack

Module haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever

OpenSearchBM25Retriever

Fetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.

BM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.

OpenSearchBM25Retriever.__init__

def __init__(*,
             document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,
             filters: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
             fuzziness: str = "AUTO",
             top_k: int = 10,
             scale_score: bool = False,
             all_terms_must_match: bool = False,
             filter_policy: Union[str, FilterPolicy] = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,
             custom_query: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
             raise_on_failure: bool = True)

Creates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.

Arguments:

  • document_store: An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.

  • filters: Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.

  • fuzziness: Fuzziness parameter for full-text queries to apply approximate string matching. For more information, see OpenSearch fuzzy query.

  • top_k: Maximum number of documents to return.

  • scale_score: If True, scales the score of retrieved documents to a range between 0 and 1. This is useful when comparing documents across different indexes.

  • all_terms_must_match: If True, all terms in the query string must be present in the retrieved documents. This is useful when searching for short text where even one term can make a difference.

  • filter_policy: Policy to determine how filters are applied. Possible options:

  • replace: Runtime filters replace initialization filters. Use this policy to change the filtering scope for specific queries.

  • merge: Runtime filters are merged with initialization filters.

  • custom_query: The query containing a mandatory $query and an optional $filters placeholder. An example custom_query:

    {
        "query": {
            "bool": {
                "should": [{"multi_match": {
                    "query": "$query",                 // mandatory query placeholder
                    "type": "most_fields",
                    "fields": ["content", "title"]}}],
                "filter": "$filters"                  // optional filter placeholder
            }
        }
    }
    

An example run() method for this custom_query:

retriever.run(
    query="Why did the revenue increase?",
    filters={
        "operator": "AND",
        "conditions": [
            {"field": "meta.years", "operator": "==", "value": "2019"},
            {"field": "meta.quarters", "operator": "in", "value": ["Q1", "Q2"]},
        ],
    },
)
  • raise_on_failure: Whether to raise an exception if the API call fails. Otherwise log a warning and return an empty list.

Raises:

  • ValueError: If document_store is not an instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore.

OpenSearchBM25Retriever.to_dict

def to_dict() -> Dict[str, Any]

        fuzziness: Optional[str] = None,
        scale_score: Optional[bool] = None,
        custom_query: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None)

Retrieve documents using BM25 retrieval.

Arguments:

  • query: The query string.

  • filters: Filters applied to the retrieved documents. The way runtime filters are applied depends on the filter_policy specified at Retriever's initialization.

  • all_terms_must_match: If True, all terms in the query string must be present in the retrieved documents.

  • top_k: Maximum number of documents to return.

  • fuzziness: Fuzziness parameter for full-text queries to apply approximate string matching. For more information, see OpenSearch fuzzy query.

  • scale_score: If True, scales the score of retrieved documents to a range between 0 and 1. This is useful when comparing documents across different indexes.

  • custom_query: A custom OpenSearch query. It must include a $query and may optionally include a $filters placeholder.

    **An example custom_query:**
    
    ```python
    {
        "query": {
            "bool": {
                "should": [{"multi_match": {
                    "query": "$query",                 // mandatory query placeholder

                "filter": "$filters"                  // optional filter placeholder
            }
        }
    }
    ```
    

For this custom_query, a sample run() could be:

retriever.run(
    query="Why did the revenue increase?",
    filters={
        "operator": "AND",
        "conditions": [
            {"field": "meta.years", "operator": "==", "value": "2019"},
            {"field": "meta.quarters", "operator": "in", "value": ["Q1", "Q2"]},
        ],
    },
)

Returns:

A dictionary containing the retrieved documents with the following structure:

  • documents: List of retrieved Documents.

  • merge: Runtime filters are merged with initialization filters.

  • replace: Runtime filters replace initialization filters. Use this policy to change the filtering scope.

    **An example custom_query:**
    
    ```python
    {
        "query": {
            "bool": {
                "must": [
                    {

            {"field": "meta.quarters", "operator": "in", "value": ["Q1", "Q2"]},
        ],
    },
)
  • raise_on_failure: If True, raises an exception if the API call fails. If False, logs a warning and returns an empty list.
  • efficient_filtering: If True, the filter will be applied during the approximate kNN search. This is only supported for knn engines "faiss" and "lucene" and does not work with the default "nmslib".
