What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the creation, management, and querying of Databricks Vector Search indexes, enabling efficient semantic search and RAG applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Endpoint & Index Management: Create and manage both Standard and Storage-Optimized endpoints and Delta Sync or Direct Access indexes.
  • Data Synchronization: Supports automatic synchronization from Delta tables or manual data upserts.
  • Querying: Perform semantic, keyword, or hybrid searches with advanced filtering options.
  • Use Case: Build a RAG application by indexing your company's knowledge base into a Databricks Vector Search index, allowing your AI agent to retrieve relevant information for answering user queries.

Quick Start

Use the databricks-vector-search skill to create a standard endpoint named 'my-vs-endpoint'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Databricks Vector Search index for a RAG application?

To create a Databricks Vector Search index for RAG, you first set up an endpoint, then create either a Delta Sync or Direct Access index with managed or self-managed embeddings to store your knowledge base.

What is the difference between Delta Sync and Direct Access indexes in Databricks Vector Search?

Delta Sync indexes support automatic synchronization from Delta tables, while Direct Access indexes require manual data upserts to manage your vector search data.

Can I perform hybrid search with advanced filtering on a Databricks Vector Search index?

Yes, you can perform semantic, keyword, or hybrid searches on a Databricks Vector Search index, and it includes advanced filtering capabilities to refine your query results.

Do I need a Standard or Storage-Optimized endpoint for my Databricks Vector Search setup?

You can create either Standard or Storage-Optimized endpoints for Databricks Vector Search depending on your performance and storage requirements for managing semantic search workloads.

How does data synchronization work with Databricks Vector Search Delta Sync indexes?

Delta Sync indexes automatically synchronize data from Delta tables into your Databricks Vector Search index, ensuring your semantic search results reflect the latest source data changes.

Can I use my own embeddings with a Databricks Vector Search index?

Yes, Databricks Vector Search supports both managed and self-managed embeddings, allowing you to either let the platform generate embeddings or upsert your own pre-computed vectors.
