I’m sure you have other people interested but would love to speak about the community aspect, how we’ve seen customers use it and how it continues to grow into what we need as technologists to help people build scalable platforms. On Tue, Dec 5, 2023 at 8:35 AM Rich Bowen wrote: > Hey, folks.

Love it. Thank you folks for coming to a decision on this. This is very helpful to move forward on planning on for the current Python frameworks: - Langchain.CassandraVectorStore - Langchain.CassandraVectorRetriever - Langchain.CassandraVectorStoreAgent - LlamaIndex.CassandraVectorLoad

Re: [POLL] Vector type for ML

2023-05-03 Thread Rahul Xavier Singh
I like this approach. Thank you for those working on this vector search initiative. Here's the feedback from my "user" hat for someone who is looking at databases / indexes for my next LLM app. Can I take some python code and go from using an in memory vector store like numpy or FAISS to somethin

Re: Adding vector search to SAI with heirarchical navigable small world graph index

2023-04-25 Thread Rahul Xavier Singh
Very exciting. Love it. "Retrieval augmented" or "Data augmented" LLMs are the easiest way to "fine-tune" the output of LLM without actually fine-tuning. Currently Pinecone/Weaviate/Milvus are eating up the scene, with new players like Chroma coming out soon. We've been working with Langchain / LL

Re: [DISCUSS] Introduce DATABASE as an alternative to KEYSPACE

2023-04-04 Thread Rahul Xavier Singh
My 2 cents: Keeping it keyspace works for me, namespace could be cool also since we decide where that namespace exists in relation to Datacenters, etc. In our case, a Keyspace is more similar to a namespace than it is to a database since we expect all the UDTs,/UDFs, indexes to refer to only the

Re: Role of Hadoop code in Cassandra 5.0

2023-03-09 Thread Rahul Xavier Singh
What is the hadoop code for? For interacting from Hadoop via CQL, or Thrift if it's that old, or directly looking at SSTables? Been using C* since 2 and have never used it. Agree to deprecate in next possible 4.1.x version and remove in 5.0 Rahul Singh Chief Executive Officer | Business Platform

Re: [Marketing] For Review: Learn How CommitLog Works in Apache Cassandra

2022-08-26 Thread Rahul Xavier Singh
Added a comment about "ACID". I would recommend not saying ACID until it's there. C* has strong consistency when needed. It doesn't for example guarantee that two competing mutations will be executed (or be able to be rolled back to the previous state) in the same exact order they were intended if

Re: Apache Cassandra Virtual meetings

I think these meetings would be great.. if there is a specific structure. We use a simple format that could help e.g. 1. Review long term vision/ roadmap. 2. Review next release / features that are in progress. 3. Discuss issues in general and make a game plan for the next quarter. Nothing too co
