from_existing_index

Example:

from redis import Redis
from langchain_redis import RedisConfig

# Assuming an existing Redis connection
redis_client = Redis.from_url("redis://localhost:6379")

config = RedisConfig.from_existing_index(
    index_name="my_existing_index",
    redis_client=redis_client
)

print(config.index_name)  # Output: my_existing_index
print(config.from_existing)  # Output: True

Note:

• This method sets the 'from_existing' attribute to True, indicating that the configuration is based on an existing index.
• The method doesn't fetch the full schema or configuration of the existing index. It only sets up the basic parameters needed to connect to the index.
• Additional index details (like field configurations) are not retrieved and should be known or discovered separately if needed.
• This method is particularly useful when you need to work with or extend an existing Redis vector store index.
• Ensure that the provided Redis client has the necessary permissions to access the specified index.
• If the index doesn't exist, this method will still create a config, but operations using this config may fail until the index is created.
