langchain.retrievers.parent_document_retriever.ParentDocumentRetriever¶
class langchain.retrievers.parent_document_retriever.ParentDocumentRetriever[source]¶
Bases: MultiVectorRetriever
Retrieve small chunks then retrieve their parent documents.
When splitting documents for retrieval, there are often conflicting desires:
You may want to have small documents, so that their embeddings can mostaccurately reflect their meaning. If too long, then the embeddings can
lose meaning.
You want to have long enough documents that the context of each chunk isretained.
The ParentDocumentRetriever strikes that balance by splitting and storing
small chunks of data. During retrieval, it first fetches the small chunks
but then looks up the parent ids for those chunks and returns those larger
documents.
Note that “parent document” refers to the document that a small chunk
originated from. This can either be the whole raw document OR a larger
chunk.

For example, if the class is langchain.llms.openai.OpenAI, then the
namespace is [“langchain”, “llms”, “openai”]
get_output_schema(config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None) → Type[BaseModel]¶
Get a pydantic model that can be used to validate output to the runnable.
Runnables that leverage the configurable_fields and configurable_alternatives
methods will have a dynamic output schema that depends on which
configuration the runnable is invoked with.
This method allows to get an output schema for a specific configuration.
Parameters


This method allows to get an output schema for a specific configuration.
Parameters
config – A config to use when generating the schema.
Returns
A pydantic model that can be used to validate output.
get_relevant_documents(query: str, *, callbacks: Callbacks = None, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, run_name: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs: Any) → List[Document]¶
Retrieve documents relevant to a query.
:param query: string to find relevant documents for
:param callbacks: Callback manager or list of callbacks
:param tags: Optional list of tags associated with the retriever. Defaults to None
These tags will be associated with each call to this retriever,
and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks.
Parameters
metadata – Optional metadata associated with the retriever. Defaults to None
This metadata will be associated with each call to this retriever,
and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks.
Returns
List of relevant documents
invoke(input: str, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None) → List[Document]¶
Transform a single input into an output. Override to implement.
Parameters
input – The input to the runnable.
config – A config to use when invoking the runnable.
The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing
purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do
in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig
for more details.
Returns
The output of the runnable.
classmethod is_lc_serializable() → bool¶
Is this class serializable?


classmethod is_lc_serializable() → bool¶
Is this class serializable?
json(*, include: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, exclude: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, by_alias: bool = False, skip_defaults: Optional[bool] = None, exclude_unset: bool = False, exclude_defaults: bool = False, exclude_none: bool = False, encoder: Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]] = None, models_as_dict: bool = True, **dumps_kwargs: Any) → unicode¶
Generate a JSON representation of the model, include and exclude arguments as per dict().
encoder is an optional function to supply as default to json.dumps(), other arguments as per json.dumps().
classmethod lc_id() → List[str]¶
A unique identifier for this class for serialization purposes.
The unique identifier is a list of strings that describes the path
to the object.
map() → Runnable[List[Input], List[Output]]¶
Return a new Runnable that maps a list of inputs to a list of outputs,
by calling invoke() with each input.
classmethod parse_file(path: Union[str, Path], *, content_type: unicode = None, encoding: unicode = 'utf8', proto: Protocol = None, allow_pickle: bool = False) → Model¶
classmethod parse_obj(obj: Any) → Model¶
classmethod parse_raw(b: Union[str, bytes], *, content_type: unicode = None, encoding: unicode = 'utf8', proto: Protocol = None, allow_pickle: bool = False) → Model¶
classmethod schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: unicode = '#/definitions/{model}') → DictStrAny¶


classmethod schema_json(*, by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: unicode = '#/definitions/{model}', **dumps_kwargs: Any) → unicode¶
stream(input: Input, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → Iterator[Output]¶
Default implementation of stream, which calls invoke.
Subclasses should override this method if they support streaming output.
to_json() → Union[SerializedConstructor, SerializedNotImplemented]¶
to_json_not_implemented() → SerializedNotImplemented¶
transform(input: Iterator[Input], config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → Iterator[Output]¶
Default implementation of transform, which buffers input and then calls stream.
Subclasses should override this method if they can start producing output while
input is still being generated.
classmethod update_forward_refs(**localns: Any) → None¶
Try to update ForwardRefs on fields based on this Model, globalns and localns.
classmethod validate(value: Any) → Model¶
with_config(config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Runnable[Input, Output]¶
Bind config to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.
with_fallbacks(fallbacks: Sequence[Runnable[Input, Output]], *, exceptions_to_handle: Tuple[Type[BaseException], ...] = (<class 'Exception'>,)) → RunnableWithFallbacksT[Input, Output]¶
Add fallbacks to a runnable, returning a new Runnable.
Parameters
fallbacks – A sequence of runnables to try if the original runnable fails.
exceptions_to_handle – A tuple of exception types to handle.
Returns
A new Runnable that will try the original runnable, and then each
fallback in order, upon failures.
