Add Redis as a Vector Store

[radhakrishna67]

Current Version of the Spring AI allows InMemoryVectorStore but RedisVectorStore is expected along with.

Expected Behavior

Redis should be able to use as VectorStore

Current Behavior

InMemoryVectorStore is supported.

Context

I am working on document querying use-case with azure openai embedding stored in Redis. So i request the team to implement Redis as Vector Store

I am currently investigating using Redis as a VectorStore implementation in spring-ai.

Here is some relevant information on the topic that I am currently reading.

@jxblum , I am using Redis for GenAI app. Please let me know if we could connect on this.

I have used Redis as a vector store multiple times with LangChain and considering my Java experience, would like to contribute.

Can it be assigned to me?

[radhakrishna67]

@jxblum, any update on Redis VectorStore?

[jxblum]

Hi @radhakrishna67 - Thank you for reaching out.

Sorry for the lapse in communication. I have been juggling multiple responsibilities and haven't been fully allocated/dedicated to working Spring AI just yet. My primary responsibilities are on the Spring Data Team, as the Spring Data Redis technical lead. I have also been busy preparing for Spring Data releases next week.

I have started crafting a PR for this ticket and hope to have something relatively soon.

Of course, anyone interested in this ticket is also free to experiment, contribute or simply share ideas. Nothing is stopping anyone from doing that.

Anyway, I will report back again when I am ready for some review/feedback.

Cheers!

@jxblum

I'm interested to do some experiment for redis,,
Is the open ai key is free ? or need billing ?

[jxblum]

Hi @omarmahamid - Sorry for the delayed response.

Creating an OpenAI account at OpenAI and setting up an API Key is free. Once you have signed up and logged in, then you can even add additional keys and organizations to your account.

NOTE: I have not signed up for Azure OpenAI yet, so I am not familiar with their process.

Of course, not everything is 100% free, and OpenAI will rate limit your requests, naturally, unless you pay for higher request limits (see Usage tiers).
