Faiss index lookup and Vector db lookup are deprecated

[vsantele]

Hi,

I just discovered that Faiss index lookup and Vector DB lookup are marked as deprecated in VS Code.
Is there any new information, documentation, or updates on that?

There is a replacement tool. It is called simply "Index Lookup" and its functionality encompasses both faiss_index_lookup and vector_db_lookup (and more). It is documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/prompt-flow/tools-reference/index-lookup-tool?view=azureml-api-2

It is also in the promptflow_vectordb package.

Thank you,

Is "Index Lookup" shipped with promptflow_vectordb 0.2.4? I can't see it when I run pf tool list.
I have promptflow 1.6.0 and promptflow-tools 1.3.0.

@vsantele, you'll want to install promptflow-vectordb's azure extra - pip install promptflow-vectordb[azure]. If that doesn't work, can you share the output of running pf tool list?

It's work with extra [azure], thank you.
