📂 Project: Dev
Session Goal
The primary goal of this session was to debug and refactor the integration of embeddings from an SQLite cache into a Chroma vectorstore, ensuring robust data ingestion and persistence.
Key Activities
- Importing Embeddings: Initiated the session by importing embeddings from cache to Chroma, utilizing a Python script to facilitate the process.
- Debugging Ingestion Issues: Conducted a thorough debugging process to address issues with embedding persistence in the Chroma vectorstore. This included applying specific code patches and sanitizing metadata.
- Diagnosing and Troubleshooting: Diagnosed potential failure modes and executed a troubleshooting guide to enhance the resilience of the Chroma client, focusing on directory usage, file existence, and metadata handling.
- Refactoring and Diagnostics: Outlined a refactor plan to improve Chroma integration, including metadata sanitation, client creation, and safe batch writing.
Achievements
- Successfully identified and resolved several ingestion issues, ensuring the Chroma vectorstore can persist vectors reliably.
- Implemented code patches for metadata sanitation and exception handling, enhancing the robustness of data ingestion.
Pending Tasks
- Further testing of the refactored code to ensure all edge cases are handled.
- Continuous monitoring of the Chroma integration to identify and resolve any emerging issues.
