hey there! removals like this are a breaking change, so if the service is discontinued for whatever reason, we can add something that helps it fail gracefully, but outright removal like this isn't an option (e.g. this would break anyone's code that imports the component, even if they don't use it).

could you link some documentation from dria showing why this would need to be deleted?

Hey Erik!

I did not noticed documentation about that and try removing myself.

Dria's retriever component changed to completely different functionality and the library's components are removed. So, all Dria retriever functionality must removed on Langchain Integrations.

Thanks for your help!

got it - do/did you work on dria? could you link me to some documentation related to this? all of their docs still seem to be up, so I'm going to close this and happy to reopen if

1. it's shown that dria is no longer in service
2. the PR is updated to keep all files and instead remove the Dria implementation to raise an error on init
3. CI is passing

easiest one to get out of the way is [1]!

We'll remove docs from our website, this one is deprecated.

The problem is here;

https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/retrievers/dria_index/

It's a misdirection for people using Langchain or Dria. For Langchain, the 2nd item seems more accurate. It is most useful to apply 1-2

Hey @efriis! Any update on this?

https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/retrievers/dria_index/

Dria docs still available on langchain docs

[efriis]

let me know when you remove the docs, or add a warning to that docs page saying these features are deprecated. a bunch of the pages at https://dria.co/docs/ reference the langchain integration and show how to use it

As mentioned before, steps would be:

1. it's shown that dria is no longer in service (e.g. by adding a big banner to the langchain/dria docs at dria.co saying retrieval is no longer in service)
2. the PR is updated to keep all the code and instead remove the Dria implementation to raise an error on init
3. CI is passing

[anilaltuner]

Hey @efriis, we removed old version of https://dria.co/docs/ and new version has nothing to do about langchain integration and old version. Can we now remove Dria's langchain documentation page? It misleads Dria's users and usage

[anilaltuner]

Hey @efriis, any update on that? Is there an any thing I can help you?
