langchain.chains.conversational_retrieval.base.ChatVectorDBChain¶
class langchain.chains.conversational_retrieval.base.ChatVectorDBChain[source]¶
Bases: BaseConversationalRetrievalChain
Chain for chatting with a vector database.
Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.
Raises ValidationError if the input data cannot be parsed to form a valid model.
param callback_manager: Optional[BaseCallbackManager] = None¶
Deprecated, use callbacks instead.
param callbacks: Callbacks = None¶
Optional list of callback handlers (or callback manager). Defaults to None.
Callback handlers are called throughout the lifecycle of a call to a chain,
starting with on_chain_start, ending with on_chain_end or on_chain_error.
Each custom chain can optionally call additional callback methods, see Callback docs
for full details.

The chain used to combine any retrieved documents.
param get_chat_history: Optional[Callable[[List[CHAT_TURN_TYPE]], str]] = None¶
An optional function to get a string of the chat history.
If None is provided, will use a default.
param memory: Optional[BaseMemory] = None¶
Optional memory object. Defaults to None.
Memory is a class that gets called at the start
and at the end of every chain. At the start, memory loads variables and passes
them along in the chain. At the end, it saves any returned variables.
There are many different types of memory - please see memory docs
for the full catalog.
param metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None¶
Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None.
This metadata will be associated with each call to this chain,
and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks.

param question_generator: LLMChain [Required]¶
The chain used to generate a new question for the sake of retrieval.
This chain will take in the current question (with variable question)
and any chat history (with variable chat_history) and will produce
a new standalone question to be used later on.
param rephrase_question: bool = True¶
Whether or not to pass the new generated question to the combine_docs_chain.
If True, will pass the new generated question along.
If False, will only use the new generated question for retrieval and pass the
original question along to the combine_docs_chain.

Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.
Raises ValidationError if the input data cannot be parsed to form a valid model.
param answer_key: str [Required]¶
Key in output of llm_chain to return as answer.
param callback_manager: Optional[BaseCallbackManager] = None¶
Deprecated, use callbacks instead.
param callbacks: Callbacks = None¶
Optional list of callback handlers (or callback manager). Defaults to None.
Callback handlers are called throughout the lifecycle of a call to a chain,
starting with on_chain_start, ending with on_chain_end or on_chain_error.
Each custom chain can optionally call additional callback methods, see Callback docs
for full details.
param document_variable_name: str [Required]¶
The variable name in the llm_chain to put the documents in.
If only one variable in the llm_chain, this need not be provided.
param llm_chain: LLMChain [Required]¶
Chain to apply to each document individually.
param memory: Optional[BaseMemory] = None¶
Optional memory object. Defaults to None.
Memory is a class that gets called at the start
and at the end of every chain. At the start, memory loads variables and passes
them along in the chain. At the end, it saves any returned variables.
There are many different types of memory - please see memory docs
for the full catalog.
param metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None¶
Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None.
This metadata will be associated with each call to this chain,
and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks.
You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.
param metadata_keys: Optional[List[str]] = None¶


param metadata_keys: Optional[List[str]] = None¶
Additional metadata from the chosen document to return.
param rank_key: str [Required]¶
Key in output of llm_chain to rank on.
param return_intermediate_steps: bool = False¶
Return intermediate steps.
Intermediate steps include the results of calling llm_chain on each document.
param tags: Optional[List[str]] = None¶
Optional list of tags associated with the chain. Defaults to None.
These tags will be associated with each call to this chain,
and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks.
You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.
param verbose: bool [Optional]¶
Whether or not run in verbose mode. In verbose mode, some intermediate logs
will be printed to the console. Defaults to langchain.verbose value.
__call__(inputs: Union[Dict[str, Any], Any], return_only_outputs: bool = False, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, *, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, run_name: Optional[str] = None, include_run_info: bool = False) → Dict[str, Any]¶
Execute the chain.
Parameters
inputs – Dictionary of inputs, or single input if chain expects
only one param. Should contain all inputs specified in
Chain.input_keys except for inputs that will be set by the chain’s
memory.
return_only_outputs – Whether to return only outputs in the
response. If True, only new keys generated by this chain will be
returned. If False, both input keys and new keys generated by this
chain will be returned. Defaults to False.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in


callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in
addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in
addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
metadata – Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None
include_run_info – Whether to include run info in the response. Defaults
to False.
Returns
A dict of named outputs. Should contain all outputs specified inChain.output_keys.
async abatch(inputs: List[Input], config: Optional[Union[RunnableConfig, List[RunnableConfig]]] = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → List[Output]¶
Default implementation of abatch, which calls ainvoke N times.
Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently.
async acall(inputs: Union[Dict[str, Any], Any], return_only_outputs: bool = False, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, *, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, run_name: Optional[str] = None, include_run_info: bool = False) → Dict[str, Any]¶
Asynchronously execute the chain.
Parameters
inputs – Dictionary of inputs, or single input if chain expects
only one param. Should contain all inputs specified in
Chain.input_keys except for inputs that will be set by the chain’s
memory.
return_only_outputs – Whether to return only outputs in the
response. If True, only new keys generated by this chain will be
returned. If False, both input keys and new keys generated by this


returned. If False, both input keys and new keys generated by this
chain will be returned. Defaults to False.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in
addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in
addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
metadata – Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None
include_run_info – Whether to include run info in the response. Defaults
to False.
Returns
A dict of named outputs. Should contain all outputs specified inChain.output_keys.
async acombine_docs(docs: List[Document], callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Tuple[str, dict][source]¶
Combine documents in a map rerank manner.
Combine by mapping first chain over all documents, then reranking the results.
Parameters
docs – List of documents to combine
callbacks – Callbacks to be passed through
**kwargs – additional parameters to be passed to LLM calls (like other
input variables besides the documents)
Returns
The first element returned is the single string output. The second
element returned is a dictionary of other keys to return.
async ainvoke(input: Dict[str, Any], config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Dict[str, Any]¶
Default implementation of ainvoke, which calls invoke in a thread pool.
Subclasses should override this method if they can run asynchronously.


Subclasses should override this method if they can run asynchronously.
apply(input_list: List[Dict[str, Any]], callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None) → List[Dict[str, str]]¶
Call the chain on all inputs in the list.
async arun(*args: Any, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Any¶
Convenience method for executing chain.
The main difference between this method and Chain.__call__ is that this
method expects inputs to be passed directly in as positional arguments or
keyword arguments, whereas Chain.__call__ expects a single input dictionary
with all the inputs
Parameters
*args – If the chain expects a single input, it can be passed in as the
sole positional argument.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in
addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in
addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
**kwargs – If the chain expects multiple inputs, they can be passed in
directly as keyword arguments.
Returns
The chain output.
Example
# Suppose we have a single-input chain that takes a 'question' string:
await chain.arun("What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?")
# -> "The temperature in Boise is..."
# Suppose we have a multi-input chain that takes a 'question' string
# and 'context' string:
question = "What's the temperature in Boise, Idaho?"
