pinecone.grpc

Connecting to Pinecone with GRPC

The pinecone.grpc submodule provides an alternative version of the Pinecone client that uses gRPC instead of HTTP for data operations. This provides a significant performance boost for data operations.

Installing the gRPC client

You must install extra dependencies in order to install the GRPC client.

Installing with pip

# Install the latest version
pip3 install pinecone[grpc]

# Install a specific version
pip3 install "pinecone[grpc]"==3.0.0

Installing with poetry

# Install the latest version
poetry add pinecone --extras grpc

# Install a specific version
poetry add pinecone==3.0.0 --extras grpc

Using the gRPC client

import os
from pinecone.grpc import PineconeGRPC

client = PineconeGRPC(api_key=os.environ.get("PINECONE_API_KEY"))

# From this point on, usage is identical to the HTTP client.
index = client.Index(host=os.environ("PINECONE_INDEX_HOST"))
index.query(vector=[...], top_k=10)

The list_paginated operation finds vectors based on an id prefix within a single namespace. It returns matching ids in a paginated form, with a pagination token to fetch the next page of results. This id list can then be passed to fetch or delete operations, depending on your use case.

Consider using the list method to avoid having to handle pagination tokens manually.

Examples:
>>> results = index.list_paginated(prefix='99', limit=5, namespace='my_namespace')
>>> [v.id for v in results.vectors]
['99', '990', '991', '992', '993']

If you use this approach, the client may need to perform an extra call to the Pinecone control plane to get the host url on your behalf to get the index host.

The client will cache the index host for future use whenever it is seen, so you will only incur the overhead of only one call. But this approach is not recommended for production usage.

Sets the return value of work associated with the future.

def cancel(self):
52    def cancel(self):
53        self._grpc_future.cancel()

Cancel the future if possible.

Returns True if the future was cancelled, False otherwise. A future cannot be cancelled if it is running or has already completed.

Return the exception raised by the call that the future represents.

Arguments:
  • timeout: The number of seconds to wait for the exception if the future isn't done. If None, then there is no limit on the wait time.
Returns:

The exception raised by the call that the future represents or None if the call completed without raising.

Raises:
  • CancelledError: If the future was cancelled.
  • TimeoutError: If the future didn't finish executing before the given timeout.

Arguments:
  • timeout: The number of seconds to wait for the result if the future isn't done. If None, then there is no limit on the wait time.
Returns:

The result of the call that the future represents.

Raises:
  • CancelledError: If the future was cancelled.
  • TimeoutError: If the future didn't finish executing before the given timeout.
  • Exception: If the call raised then that exception will be raised.
