My apologies for the delay. I was distracted by life.
Thank you @anakin87, your info and suggestions led us in the right direction. Indeed, we were blending Haystack 1.x and 2.0beta. We had to re-write a few things and only use Haystack 2.0beta with
ollama.Unrelated to this issue, we can thus only use
InMemoryDocumentStoreinstead ofFAISSDocumentStore. As such, we don’t see the option to store the embeddings in an SQL db or FAISS index.All the same, the code works and follows our requirements. Maybe we don’t need to the other bells and whistles.
Solved for my team.
@SDpedrovilaplana thanks to your report, I finally managed to reproduce this issue!!!
It seems related to installing
farm-haystack(haystack 1.x) andhaystack-ai(haystack 2.x) in the same virtual environment, which I think should be discouraged.To reproduce
Thank you, this solved my issue.
It’s because you have haystack-ai and farm-haystack installed in the same environment. This issue took me a long time to figure out, but just
pip uninstall haystack-ai.I am not sure as to why the error is not happening on colab. Even on my system, the error is inconsistent. My guess is, it has to do with the way the package is being installed. All the functions that are not being able to be imported do exist, so somehow the structure of the package is being changed.
still getting this issue after using both of the mentioned Python versions on Ubuntu 22.04. I’m trying to install farm-haystack[weaviate] and farm-haystack
@MoFayaz
Easiest steps to reproduce:
!pip install farm-haystack[colab,preprocessing,elasticsearch,inference]from haystack.telemetry import send_eventSame issue here. I’m using python 3.10 and trying in conda environment
