Qdrant Vector Database Integration

Overview

Qdrant is an AI-native vector database for semantic search and similarity retrieval. This skill provides patterns for integrating Qdrant with Java applications, focusing on Spring Boot and LangChain4j integration.

When to Use

• Semantic search or recommendation systems in Spring Boot applications
• RAG pipelines with Java and LangChain4j
• Vector database integration for AI/ML applications
• High-performance similarity search with filtered queries

Instructions

1. Deploy Qdrant with Docker

docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 \
    -v "$(pwd)/qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage:z" \
    qdrant/qdrant

Access: REST API at http://localhost:6333, gRPC at http://localhost:6334.

2. Add Dependencies

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.qdrant</groupId>
    <artifactId>client</artifactId>
    <version>1.15.0</version>
</dependency>

Gradle:

implementation 'io.qdrant:client:1.15.0'

3. Initialize Client

QdrantClient client = new QdrantClient(
    QdrantGrpcClient.newBuilder("localhost").build());
