Cloud-Native Neural Search^[?] Framework for Any Kind of Data

Jina^🔊 allows you to build search-as-a-service powered by deep learning in just minutes.

🌌 All data types - Large-scale indexing and querying of any kind of unstructured data: video, image, long/short text, music, source code, PDF, etc.

🌩️ Fast & cloud-native - Distributed architecture from day one, scalable & cloud-native by design: enjoy containerizing, streaming, paralleling, sharding, async scheduling, HTTP/gRPC/WebSocket protocol.

⏱️ Save time - The design pattern of neural search systems, from zero to a production-ready system in minutes.

🍱 Own your stack - Keep end-to-end stack ownership of your solution, avoid integration pitfalls you get with fragmented, multi-vendor, generic legacy tools.

Get Started

Document, Executor, and Flow are the three fundamental concepts in Jina.

• 📄 Document is the basic data type in Jina;
• ⚙️ Executor is how Jina processes Documents;
• 🔀 Flow is how Jina streamlines and distributes Executors.

1️⃣ Copy-paste the minimum example below and run it:

^{💡 Preliminaries: character embedding, pooling, Euclidean distance}

import numpy as np
from jina import Document, DocumentArray, Executor, Flow, requests

class CharEmbed(Executor):  # a simple character embedding with mean-pooling
    offset = 32  # letter `a`
    dim = 127 - offset + 1  # last pos reserved for `UNK`
    char_embd = np.eye(dim) * 1  # one-hot embedding for all chars

    @requests
    def foo(self, docs: DocumentArray, **kwargs):
        for d in docs:
            r_emb = [ord(c) - self.offset if self.offset <= ord(c) <= 127 else (self.dim - 1) for c in d.text]
            d.embedding = self.char_embd[r_emb, :].mean(axis=0)  # average pooling

class Indexer(Executor):
    _docs = DocumentArray()  # for storing all documents in memory

    @requests(on='/index')
    def foo(self, docs: DocumentArray, **kwargs):
        self._docs.extend(docs)  # extend stored `docs`

    @requests(on='/search')
    def bar(self, docs: DocumentArray, **kwargs):
         docs.match(self._docs, metric='euclidean', limit=20)

f = Flow(port_expose=12345, protocol='http', cors=True).add(uses=CharEmbed, parallel=2).add(uses=Indexer)  # build a Flow, with 2 parallel CharEmbed, tho unnecessary
with f:
    f.post('/index', (Document(text=t.strip()) for t in open(__file__) if t.strip()))  # index all lines of _this_ file
    f.block()  # block for listening request

2️⃣ Open http://localhost:12345/docs (an extended Swagger UI) in your browser, click /search tab and input:

{"data": [{"text": "@requests(on=something)"}]}

That means, we want to find lines from the above code snippet that are most similar to @request(on=something). Now click Execute button!

3️⃣ Not a GUI person? Let's do it in Python then! Keep the above server running and start a simple client:

from jina import Client, Document
from jina.types.request import Response


def print_matches(resp: Response):  # the callback function invoked when task is done
    for idx, d in enumerate(resp.docs[0].matches[:3]):  # print top-3 matches
        print(f'[{idx}]{d.scores["euclidean"].value:2f}: "{d.text}"')


c = Client(protocol='http', port_expose=12345)  # connect to localhost:12345
c.post('/search', Document(text='request(on=something)'), on_done=print_matches)

, which prints the following results:

         Client@1608[S]:connected to the gateway at localhost:12345!
[0]0.168526: "@requests(on='/index')"
[1]0.181676: "@requests(on='/search')"
[2]0.192049: "query.matches = [Document(self._docs[int(idx)], copy=True, score=d) for idx, d in enumerate(dist)]"
