Pebblo Safe DataReader for LlamaIndex

This document describes how to augment your existing LlamaIndex DocumentReader with Pebblo Safe DocumentReader to get deep data visibility on the types of Topics and Entities ingested into the Gen-AI LlamaIndex application. For details on Pebblo Daemon see this pebblo server document.

Pebblo Safe DocumentReader enables safe data ingestion for LlamaIndex DocumentReader. This is done by wrapping the document reader call with Pebblo Safe DocumentReader

How to Pebblo enable Document Reading?

Assume a LlamaIndex RAG application snippet using CSVReader to read a CSV document for inference.

Here is the snippet of Document loading using CSVReader

from pathlib import Path
from llama_index.readers.file import CSVReader
reader = CSVReader()
documents = reader.load_data(file=Path('data/corp_sens_data.csv'))
print(documents)

The Pebblo SafeReader can be installed and enabled with few lines of code change to the above snippet.

Install PebbloSafeReader

pip install llama-index-readers-pebblo

Use PebbloSafeReader

from pathlib import Path
from llama_index.readers.pebblo import PebbloSafeReader
from llama_index.readers.file import CSVReader
reader = CSVReader()
pebblo_reader = PebbloSafeReader(reader,
    name="acme-corp-rag-1", # App name (Mandatory)
    owner="Joe Smith", # Owner (Optional)
    description="Support productivity RAG application"),
    documents = pebblo_reader.load_data(file=Path('data/corp_sens_data.csv')
)

A data report with all the findings, both Topics and Entities, will be generated and available for inspection in the Pebblo Server. See this pebblo server for further details.

Note: By default Pebblo Server runs at localhost:8000. If your Pebblo Server is running at some other location for eg. a docker container etc, put the correct URL in PEBBLO_CLASSIFIER_URL env variable. ref: server-configurations

export PEBBLO_CLASSIFIER_URL="<pebblo-server-host:pebblo-server-port>"

Supported Document Readers

The following LlamaIndex DocumentReaders are currently supported.

1. PDFReader
2. DocxReader
3. CSVReader

Note : _Most other LlamaIndex document readers that implement load_data() method should work. The above list indicates the ones that are explicitly tested. If you have successfully tested a particular DocumentReader other than this list above, please consider raising a PR.
