Session Goal

The main objective of this session was to address and resolve issues related to oversized embeddings in the Jina API and various bugs in ChromaDB.

Key Activities

  • Implemented a try-catch mechanism in Jina API to handle oversized string embeddings, ensuring entries exceeding the token limit are skipped and logged for review.
  • Diagnosed and resolved Chroma backend corruption issues by checking internal consistency, resetting the client, and rebuilding the store.
  • Clarified the correct usage of the include parameter in the coll.get(...) function, providing code examples for correct ID retrieval.
  • Created a checklist for loading vectors and nodes from a collection, ensuring successful execution of the load_vectors_and_nodes(coll) function.
  • Fixed a bug in ChromaDB’s get(limit=N) function to avoid issues with corrupted ID indexing by providing a patch for consistent data retrieval.
  • Troubleshot ChromaDB InternalError by identifying causes such as index corruption and offering solutions like batch data fetching and index rebuilding.

Achievements

  • Successfully implemented solutions for handling oversized embeddings in Jina API.
  • Resolved several bugs and inconsistencies in ChromaDB, improving data retrieval and error handling.

Pending Tasks

  • Review logged oversized embeddings in Jina API for further optimization.
  • Monitor ChromaDB for any recurring issues to ensure stability.
