Doubts on ChromaDB client_settings

[Darrshan-Sankar]

I tried to implement the persistent client using Langchain with duckdb+parquet as the format, but faced deprecated error. Is really duckdb+parquet format removed? If so why.

@Darrshan-Sankar, duckdb+parquet has been deprecated and removed since 0.4.0 and it is unlikely to returned. Currently, Chroma relies on sqlite3 for metadata storage.

@tazarov Thanks for your clarification. Any room for PR: '#2694' ?

@tazarov But , if i want to store in no-sql format instead of sql then how will it can be done?

[tazarov]

@Darrshan-Sankar, unfortunately single-node Chroma has only sqlite3 impl for metadata and system database. Adding support for other storage engines is not currently on the roadmap.

Regarding #2694, let me look into it.

Is there any other way to use duckdb for version 0.4.0 and above?
