Indexify Extractors

Overview

Extractors are modules that give Indexify data processing capabilities such as metadata or embedding extraction from document, videos and audio. This repository hosts a collection of extractors for Indexify.

For the main Indexify project, visit: Indexify Main Repository.

Available Extractors

We have built some extractors based on demand from our users. You can write a new or a custom extractor for your use-case too, instructions for writing new extractors are below.

• Embedding Extractors
• Video Extractors
• Invoice Extractors
• Audio Extractors
• PDF Extractors

Usage

Install

pip install indexify-extractor-sdk

List Available extractors

indexify-extractor list

Download an Extractor

Find the name of the extractor you want.

indexify-extractor download hub://embedding/minilm-l6

Load and Run in Notebook or Python Applications

from indexify_extractor_sdk import load_extractor, Content
extractor, config_cls = load_extractor("minilm-l6.minilm_l6:MiniLML6Extractor")
content = Content.from_text("hello world")
out = extractor.extract(content)

Extractors can be parameterized when they are called. The input parameters are Pydantic Models. Inspect the config class programatically or in the docs of the corresponding extractor -

ex, config = load_extractor("chunking.chunk_extractor:ChunkExtractor")
config.schema()
#{'properties': {'overlap': {'default': 0, 'title': 'Overlap', 'type': 'integer'}, 'chunk_size': {'default': 100, 'title': 'Chunk Size', 'type': 'integer'}, 'text_splitter': {'default': 'recursive', 'enum': ['char', 'recursive', 'markdown', 'html'], 'title': 'Text Splitter', 'type': 'string'}, 'headers_to_split_on': {'default': [], 'items': {'type': 'string'}, 'title': 'Headers To Split On', 'type': 'array'}}, 'title': 'ChunkExtractionInputParams', 'type': 'object'}

Extract Locally on shell -

indexify-extractor run-local minilm_l6:MiniLML6Extractor --text "hello world" // or --file 

Run Extractors as a Service for Continous Extraction and Indexing with Indexify Server

To run the extractor with Indexify's control plane such that it can continuously extract from content -

indexify-extractor join-server minilm_l6:MiniLML6Extractor --coordinator-addr localhost:8950 --ingestion-addr localhost:8900

The coordinator-addr and ingestion-addr above are the default addresses exposed by the Indexify server to get extraction instructions and to upload extracted data, they can be configured in the server configuration.

Build a new Extractor

If want to build a new extractor to give Indexify new data processing capabilities you can write a new extractor by cloning this repository - https://tensorlakeai/indexify-extractor-template

Clone the template

git clone https://github.com/tensorlakeai/indexify-extractor-template.git

Implement the extractor interface

class MyExtractor(Extractor):
    input_mime_types = ["text/plain", "application/pdf", "image/jpeg"]

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def extract(self, content: Content, params: InputParams) -> List[Content]:
        return [
            Content.from_text(
                text="Hello World",
                features=[
                    Feature.embedding(values=[1, 2, 3]),
                    Feature.metadata(json.loads('{"a": 1, "b": "foo"}')),
                ],
                labels={"url": "test.com"},
            ),
            Content.from_text(
                text="Pipe Baz",
                features=[Feature.embedding(values=[1, 2, 3])],
                labels={"url": "test.com"},
            ),
        ]

    def sample_input(self) -> Content:
        return Content.from_text("hello world")

Once you have developed the extractor you can test the extractor locally by running the indexify-extractor local command as described above.

Test and Deploy the extractor

First test your extractor

ex, config = load_extractor("my_extractor:MyExtractor")
config.schema()
ex.extract(Content(...), config(...)# or ignore if you don't have config)

Run the extractor on shell

indexify-extractor run-local my_extractor:MyExtractor --text "hello world" // or --file /path to file

When you are ready to deploy the extractor in production, package the extractor and deploy as many instances you want on your cluster for parallelism, and point it to the indexify server.

indexify-extractor join-server my_extractor.py:MyExtractor --coordinator-addr localhost:8950 --ingestion-addr localhost:8900

Package the Extractor

Once you build a new extractor, and have tested it and it's time to deploy this in production, you can build a container with the extractor -

indexify-extractor package my_extractor:MyExtractor

Running Your packaged extractor

To run your packaged extractor image you can run the following command

docker run ExtractorImageName indexify-extractor join-server --coordinator-addr=host.docker.internal:8950 --ingestion-addr=host.docker.internal:8900
