This commit refactors query parameter management by consolidating settings like `top_k`, token limits, and thresholds into the `LightRAG` class, and consistently sourcing parameters from a single location.
- Remove MAX_TOKEN_SUMMARY parameter and related configurations
- Eliminate forced token-based truncation in entity/relationship descriptions
- Switch to fragment-count based summarization logic using FORCE_LLM_SUMMARY_ON_MERGE
- Update FORCE_LLM_SUMMARY_ON_MERGE default from 6 to 4 for better summarization
- Clean up documentation, environment examples, and API display code
- Preserve backward compatibility by graceful parameter removal
This change resolves issues where LLMs were forcibly truncating entity relationship
descriptions mid-sentence, leading to incomplete and potentially inaccurate knowledge
graph content. The new approach allows LLMs to generate complete descriptions while
still providing summarization when multiple fragments need to be merged.
Breaking Change: None - parameter removal is backward compatible
Fixes: Entity relationship description truncation issues
- To enhance performance during document deletion, new batch-get methods, `get_nodes_by_chunk_ids` and `get_edges_by_chunk_ids`, have been added to the graph storage layer (`BaseGraphStorage` and its implementations). The [`adelete_by_doc_id`](lightrag/lightrag.py:1681) function now leverages these methods to avoid unnecessary iteration over the entire knowledge graph, significantly improving efficiency.
- Graph storage updated: Networkx, Neo4j, Postgres AGE
This commit introduces `lightrag/constants.py` to centralize default values for various configurations across the API and core components.
Key changes:
- Added `constants.py` to centralize default values
- Improved the `get_env_value` function in `api/config.py` to correctly handle string "None" as a None value and to catch `TypeError` during value conversion.
- Updated the default `SUMMARY_LANGUAGE` to "English"
- Set default `WORKERS` to 2
