VectorStoreFactory.create

 VectorStoreFactory.create (kind:str='chroma', persist_location:str=None,
                            **kwargs)

*Create a vector store instance.

Args: kind: Type of store to create. One of: - ‘chroma’ (default): ChromaStore for dense vector search - ‘whoosh’: WhooshStore for sparse text search
- ‘chroma+-whoosh’: a DualStore using ChromaStore and WhooshStore - ‘elasticsearch’: ElasticsearchStore for unified dense + sparse - ‘elasticsearch_sparse’: For use with pre-existing Elasticsearch indices without dense vectors persist_location: Where to store the index/database **kwargs: Additional arguments passed to the store constructor

Returns: VectorStore instance

Examples: # Create default ChromaStore store = VectorStoreFactory.create()

# Create WhooshStore for text search
store = VectorStoreFactory.create('whoosh', persist_location='./search_index')

# Create ElasticsearchStore for hybrid search
store = VectorStoreFactory.create('elasticsearch', 
                                 persist_location='http://localhost:9200',
                                 index_name='my_docs')*
