ComponentsVector storesClickHouseOn this pageClickHouseClickHouse is the fastest and most resource efficient open-source database for real-time apps and analytics with full SQL support and a wide range of functions to assist users in writing analytical queries. Lately added data structures and distance search functions (like L2Distance) as well as approximate nearest neighbor search indexes enable ClickHouse to be used as a high performance and scalable vector database to store and search vectors with SQL.This notebook shows how to use functionality related to the ClickHouse vector search.Setting up envrionments​Setting up local clickhouse server with docker (optional)docker run -d -p 8123:8123 -p9000:9000 --name langchain-clickhouse-server --ulimit nofile=262144:262144 clickhouse/clickhouse-server:23.4.2.11Setup up clickhouse client driverpip install clickhouse-connectWe want to use OpenAIEmbeddings so we have to get the OpenAI API Key.import osimport getpassif not os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]:    os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("OpenAI API Key:")from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddingsfrom langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitterfrom langchain.vectorstores import Clickhouse, ClickhouseSettingsfrom langchain.document_loaders import TextLoaderloader = TextLoader("../../../state_of_the_union.txt")documents = loader.load()text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)docs = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()for d in docs:    d.metadata = {"some": "metadata"}settings = ClickhouseSettings(table="clickhouse_vector_search_example")docsearch = Clickhouse.from_documents(docs, embeddings, config=settings)query = "What did the president say about Ketanji Brown Jackson"docs = docsearch.similarity_search(query)    Inserting data...: 100%|██████████| 42/42 [00:00<00:00, 2801.49it/s]print(docs[0].page_content)    Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.         Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.         One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.         And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.Get connection info and data schema​print(str(docsearch))    default.clickhouse_vector_search_example @ localhost:8123        username: None        Table Schema:    ---------------------------------------------------    |id                      |Nullable(String)        |    |document                |Nullable(String)        |    |embedding               |Array(Float32)          |    |metadata                |Object('json')          |    |uuid                    |UUID                    |    ---------------------------------------------------    Clickhouse table schema​Clickhouse table will be automatically created if not exist by default.
