## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.valkey.embedding_retriever

### ValkeyEmbeddingRetriever

A component for retrieving documents from a ValkeyDocumentStore using vector similarity search.

This retriever uses dense embeddings to find semantically similar documents. It supports
filtering by metadata fields and configurable similarity thresholds.

Key features:

- Vector similarity search using HNSW algorithm
- Metadata filtering with tag and numeric field support
- Configurable top-k results
- Filter policy management for runtime filter application

Usage example:

```python
from haystack.document_stores.types import DuplicatePolicy

document_store = ValkeyDocumentStore(index_name="my_index", embedding_dim=768)

documents = [Document(content="There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today."),
             Document(content="Elephants have been observed to behave in a way that indicates..."),
             Document(content="In certain places, you can witness the phenomenon of bioluminescent waves.")]

document_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder()
document_embedder.warm_up()
documents_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents)

document_store.write_documents(documents_with_embeddings.get("documents"), policy=DuplicatePolicy.OVERWRITE)

query_pipeline = Pipeline()
query_pipeline.add_component("text_embedder", SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder())
query_pipeline.add_component("retriever", ValkeyEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store))
query_pipeline.connect("text_embedder.embedding", "retriever.query_embedding")

query = "How many languages are there?"

res = query_pipeline.run({"text_embedder": {"text": query}})
assert res['retriever']['documents'][0].content == "There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today."
```

## haystack_integrations.document_stores.valkey.filters

Valkey document store filtering utilities.

This module provides filter conversion from Haystack's filter format to Valkey Search query syntax.
It supports both tag-based exact matching and numeric range filtering with logical operators.

Supported filter operations:

- TagField filters: ==, !=, in, not in (exact string matches)
- NumericField filters: ==, !=, >, >=, \<, \<=, in, not in (numeric comparisons)
- Logical operators: AND, OR for combining conditions

Filter syntax examples:

```python
# Simple equality filter
filters = {"field": "meta.category", "operator": "==", "value": "tech"}

# Numeric range filter
filters = {"field": "meta.priority", "operator": ">=", "value": 5}

# List membership filter
filters = {"field": "meta.status", "operator": "in", "value": ["active", "pending"]}

# Complex logical filter
filters = {
    "operator": "AND",
    "conditions": [
        {"field": "meta.category", "operator": "==", "value": "tech"},
        {"field": "meta.priority", "operator": ">=", "value": 3}
    ]
}
```
