This PR:
- Fixes occasional collection deletion failures for AstraDB via putting
collection deletion statements inside a trap statement. It uses click
commands to do this.
Testing:
- Run ingest astradb destination test
Thanks to Eric Hare @erichare at DataStax we have a new destination
connector.
This Pull Request implements an integration with [Astra
DB](https://datastax.com) which allows for the Astra DB Vector Database
to be compatible with Unstructured's set of integrations.
To create your Astra account and authenticate with your
`ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN`, and `ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT`, follow these
steps:
1. Create an account at https://astra.datastax.com
2. Login and create a new database
3. From the database page, in the right hand panel, you will find your
API Endpoint
4. Beneath that, you can create a Token to be used
Some notes about Astra DB:
- Astra DB is a Vector Database which allows for high-performance
database transactions, and enables modern GenAI apps [See
here](https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra/astra-db-vector/get-started/concepts.html)
- It supports similarity search via a number of methods [See
here](https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra/astra-db-vector/get-started/concepts.html#metrics)
- It also supports non-vector tables / collections
