## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.bm25_retriever

### OpenSearchBM25Retriever

Fetches documents from OpenSearchDocumentStore using the keyword-based BM25 algorithm.

BM25 computes a weighted word overlap between the query string and a document to determine its similarity.

#### __init__

```python
__init__(
    *,
    document_store: OpenSearchDocumentStore,
    filters: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    fuzziness: int | str = 0,
    top_k: int = 10,
    scale_score: bool = False,
    all_terms_must_match: bool = False,
    filter_policy: str | FilterPolicy = FilterPolicy.REPLACE,
    custom_query: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    raise_on_failure: bool = True
) -> None
```

Creates the OpenSearchBM25Retriever component.

**Parameters:**

- **document_store** (<code>OpenSearchDocumentStore</code>) – An instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore to use with the Retriever.
- **filters** (<code>dict\[str, Any\] | None</code>) – Filters to narrow down the search for documents in the Document Store.
- **fuzziness** (<code>int | str</code>) – Determines how approximate string matching is applied in full-text queries.
  This parameter sets the number of character edits (insertions, deletions, or substitutions)
  required to transform one word into another. For example, the "fuzziness" between the words
  "wined" and "wind" is 1 because only one edit is needed to match them.

Defaults to `0` (exact matching). Use `"AUTO"` for automatic adjustment based on term length.
For detailed guidance, refer to the
[OpenSearch fuzzy query documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/query-dsl/term/fuzzy/).

- **top_k** (<code>int</code>) – Maximum number of documents to return.

- **scale_score** (<code>bool</code>) – If `True`, scales the score of retrieved documents to a range between 0 and 1.
  This is useful when comparing documents across different indexes.

- **all_terms_must_match** (<code>bool</code>) – If `True`, all terms in the query string must be present in the
  retrieved documents. This is useful when searching for short text where even one term
  can make a difference.

- **filter_policy** (<code>str | FilterPolicy</code>) – Policy to determine how filters are applied. Possible options:

- `replace`: Runtime filters replace initialization filters. Use this policy to change the filtering scope
  for specific queries.

- `merge`: Runtime filters are merged with initialization filters.

- **custom_query** (<code>dict\[str, Any\] | None</code>) – The query containing a mandatory `$query` and an optional `$filters` placeholder.

  **An example custom_query:**

  ```python
  {
      "query": {
          "bool": {
              "should": [{"multi_match": {
                  "query": "$query",                 // mandatory query placeholder
                  "type": "most_fields",
                  "fields": ["content", "title"]}}],
              "filter": "$filters"                  // optional filter placeholder
          }
      }
  }
  ```

An example `run()` method for this `custom_query`:

```python
retriever.run(
    query="Why did the revenue increase?",
    filters={
        "operator": "AND",
        "conditions": [
            {"field": "meta.years", "operator": "==", "value": "2019"},
            {"field": "meta.quarters", "operator": "in", "value": ["Q1", "Q2"]},
        ],
    },
)
```

- **raise_on_failure** (<code>bool</code>) – Whether to raise an exception if the API call fails. Otherwise log a warning and return an empty list.

**Raises:**

- <code>ValueError</code> – If `document_store` is not an instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore.

#### to_dict

```python
to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]
```

Serializes the component to a dictionary.

**Returns:**

- <code>dict\[str, Any\]</code> – Dictionary with serialized data.

#### from_dict

```python

## haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch.metadata_retriever

### OpenSearchMetadataRetriever

Retrieves and ranks metadata from documents stored in an OpenSearchDocumentStore.

It searches specified metadata fields for matches to a given query, ranks the results based on relevance using
Jaccard similarity, and returns the top-k results containing only the specified metadata fields. Additionally, it
adds a boost to the score of exact matches.

The search is designed for metadata fields whose values are **text** (strings). It uses prefix, wildcard and fuzzy
matching to find candidate documents; these query types operate only on text/keyword fields in OpenSearch.

Metadata fields with **non-string types** (integers, floats, booleans, lists of non-strings) are indexed by
OpenSearch as numeric, boolean, or array types. Those field types do not support prefix, wildcard, or full-text
match queries, so documents are typically not found when you search only by such fields.

**Mixed types** in the same metadata field (e.g. a list containing both strings and numbers) are not supported.

Must be connected to the OpenSearchDocumentStore to run.

Example:
\`\`\`python
from haystack import Document
from haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import OpenSearchDocumentStore
from haystack_integrations.components.retrievers.opensearch import OpenSearchMetadataRetriever

````
# Create documents with metadata
docs = [
    Document(
        content="Python programming guide",
        meta={"category": "Python", "status": "active", "priority": 1, "author": "John Doe"}
    ),
    Document(
        content="Java tutorial",
        meta={"category": "Java", "status": "active", "priority": 2, "author": "Jane Smith"}
    ),
    Document(
        content="Python advanced topics",
        meta={"category": "Python", "status": "inactive", "priority": 3, "author": "John Doe"}
    ),
]
document_store.write_documents(docs, refresh=True)

# Create retriever specifying which metadata fields to search and return
retriever = OpenSearchMetadataRetriever(
    document_store=document_store,
    metadata_fields=["category", "status", "priority"],
    top_k=10,
)

# Search for metadata
result = retriever.run(query="Python")

# Result structure:
# {
#     "metadata": [
#         {"category": "Python", "status": "active", "priority": 1},
#         {"category": "Python", "status": "inactive", "priority": 3},
#     ]
# }
#
# Note: Only the specified metadata_fields are returned in the results.
# Other metadata fields (like "author") and document content are excluded.
```

- **mode** (<code>Literal['strict', 'fuzzy']</code>) – Search mode. "strict" uses prefix and wildcard matching,
  "fuzzy" uses fuzzy matching with dis_max queries. Default is "fuzzy".
  In both modes, results are scored using Jaccard similarity (n-gram based)
  computed server-side via a Painless script; n is controlled by jaccard_n.
- **fuzziness** (<code>int | Literal['AUTO']</code>) – Maximum allowed Damerau-Levenshtein distance (edit distance) for fuzzy matching.
  Accepts an integer (e.g., 0, 1, 2) or "AUTO" which chooses based on term length.
  Default is 2. Only applies when mode is "fuzzy".
- **prefix_length** (<code>int</code>) – Number of leading characters that must match exactly before fuzzy matching applies.
  Default is 0 (no prefix requirement). Only applies when mode is "fuzzy".
- **max_expansions** (<code>int</code>) – Maximum number of term variations the fuzzy query can generate.
  Default is 200. Only applies when mode is "fuzzy".
- **tie_breaker** (<code>float</code>) – Weight (0..1) for other matching clauses in the dis_max query.
  Boosts documents that match multiple clauses. Default is 0.7. Only applies when mode is "fuzzy".
- **jaccard_n** (<code>int</code>) – N-gram size for Jaccard similarity scoring. Default 3; larger n favors longer token matches.
- **raise_on_failure** (<code>bool</code>) – If `True`, raises an exception if the API call fails.
  If `False`, logs a warning and returns an empty list.

**Raises:**

- <code>ValueError</code> – If `document_store` is not an instance of OpenSearchDocumentStore.

#### to_dict

```python
to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]
```

Serializes the component to a dictionary.

**Returns:**

- <code>dict\[str, Any\]</code> – Dictionary with serialized data.

#### from_dict

    **kwargs: Any
) -> None
```

Initialize the OpenSearchHybridRetriever using both embedding-based and keyword-based retrieval methods.

This is a super component to retrieve documents from OpenSearch using both retrieval methods.

We don't explicitly define all the init parameters of the components in the constructor, for each
of the components, since that would be around 20+ parameters. Instead, we define the most important ones
and pass the rest as kwargs. This is to keep the constructor clean and easy to read.

If you need to pass extra parameters to the components, you can do so by passing them as kwargs. It expects
a dictionary with the component name as the key and the parameters as the value. The component name should be:

```
- "bm25_retriever" -> OpenSearchBM25Retriever
- "embedding_retriever" -> OpenSearchEmbeddingRetriever
```

**Parameters:**

- **document_store** (<code>OpenSearchDocumentStore</code>) – The OpenSearchDocumentStore to use for retrieval.

- **fuzziness** (<code>int | str</code>) – The fuzziness for the BM25 retriever.
- **top_k_bm25** (<code>int</code>) – The number of results to return from the BM25 retriever.
- **scale_score** (<code>bool</code>) – Whether to scale the score for the BM25 retriever.
- **all_terms_must_match** (<code>bool</code>) – Whether all terms must match for the BM25 retriever.
- **filter_policy_bm25** (<code>str | FilterPolicy</code>) – The filter policy for the BM25 retriever.
- **custom_query_bm25** (<code>dict\[str, Any\] | None</code>) – A custom query for the BM25 retriever.
- **filters_embedding** (<code>dict\[str, Any\] | None</code>) – Filters for the embedding retriever.
- **top_k_embedding** (<code>int</code>) – The number of results to return from the embedding retriever.
- **filter_policy_embedding** (<code>str | FilterPolicy</code>) – The filter policy for the embedding retriever.
- **custom_query_embedding** (<code>dict\[str, Any\] | None</code>) – A custom query for the embedding retriever.
- **search_kwargs_embedding** (<code>dict\[str, Any\] | None</code>) – Additional search kwargs for the embedding retriever.
- **join_mode** (<code>str | JoinMode</code>) – The mode to use for joining the results from the BM25 and embedding retrievers.
- **weights** (<code>list\[float\] | None</code>) – The weights for the joiner.
- **top_k** (<code>int | None</code>) – The number of results to return from the joiner.
- **sort_by_score** (<code>bool</code>) – Whether to sort the results by score.

from haystack_integrations.document_stores.opensearch import (
    OpenSearchDocumentStore,
)
from haystack import Document

document_store = OpenSearchDocumentStore(hosts="localhost:9200")

document_store.write_documents(

        Document(content="My second document", id="2"),
    ]
)

print(document_store.count_documents())
# 2

print(document_store.filter_documents())
# [Document(id='1', content='My first document', ...), Document(id='2', content='My second document', ...)]
```
