The Qdrant Vector Store node enables integration with a Qdrant vector database for storing and retrieving vector embeddings based on semantic similarity. It supports both Qdrant cloud servers and self-hosted deployments.
Key Features
- Semantic similarity search for efficient document retrieval
- Support for multiple deployment options (Cloud, Local, and Embedded)
- Customizable similarity metrics and retrieval thresholds
- Scalable for both development and production environments
Configuration:
Host Address
Cloud: your-instance-name.<region>.qdrant.io
Local: localhost
Port
Cloud Default: 443
Local Default: 6333
API Key: Required for Qdrant Cloud authentication
Collection Name: Name of the vector database collection (e.g., “documents”)
Deployment Options
- Embedded: Uses an embedded Qdrant server within the application
- Local: Connects to a Qdrant server on your infrastructure
-
This guide walks you through configuring Ngrok on your local machine to expose Local Service as Mysql or Qdrant to Aparavi Data Toolchain for AI Cloud, which runs remotely.
-
- Cloud: Connects to a Qdrant cloud instance
Inputs and outputs
Input:
- Documents: Vector embeddings to be stored in the collection
- Questions: Query embeddings used to retrieve similar documents
Output:
- Documents: Processed versions of the stored input documents
- Answers: The most relevant matches based on the input query
- Questions: Processed versions of the input queries
Troubleshooting
- Connection refused: Verify your host and port settings
- Authentication failure: Check your API key validity
- Timeout errors: Verify network connectivity
- Slow queries: Consider trying a different similarity metric
- Memory errors: Adjust chunk and payload limits
- Poor search results: Ensure consistent embedding dimensions
Common Use Cases:
Semantic Document Search
- Find documents with similar meaning regardless of exact wording
- Implement knowledge bases and information retrieval systems
- Power RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) workflows
Recommendation Systems
- Suggest similar products or content based on embeddings
- Create “more like this” functionality
- Personalize recommendations based on user preferences
Anomaly Detection
- Identify outliers in vector space
- Detect unusual patterns or behavior
- Flag potential security issues or fraud
