Atlas Search for AI-generated Content Cataloguing and Retrieval

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

Atlas Search provides powerful search functionality for MongoDB Atlas data, making it a suitable choice for implementing a search engine over content that could be stored in a MongoDB Atlas cluster. When AI-generated content is stored within a MongoDB database, Atlas Search can index this content and make it easily searchable, facilitating cataloguing and retrieval tasks.

Below is a Pulumi program in Python that creates a MongoDB Atlas cluster and configures an Atlas Search index to enable search over the AI-generated content. To use this program, you would need to have the Pulumi CLI installed and configured with the appropriate credentials for MongoDB Atlas. Also, ensure you have created a `mongodbatlas` project and obtained the necessary Project ID and access credentials.

Here's what the code will do:

1. **Setting up a MongoDB Atlas Cluster**: A cluster must exist on which the search indexes will be created to host our AI-generated content.

2. **Creating an Atlas Search Index**: Once the cluster is available, an Atlas Search index will be configured to index fields that are relevant for searching the AI-generated content. In this example, we configure a basic search index on a hypothetical collection named `content`. You would need to adjust this according to the actual schema of your AI-generated content.

Let's look at the Pulumi program:

```python
import pulumi
import pulumi_mongodbatlas as mongo_atlas

# Replace the following with your MongoDB Atlas Project ID and other cluster configurations as needed.
project_id = 'your-mongodb-atlas-project-id'
cluster_name = 'ai-content-cluster'

# Provision a MongoDB Atlas Cluster (M10 size for example).
cluster = mongo_atlas.Cluster(cluster_name,
                              project_id=project_id,
                              provider_name="AWS",        # Assuming AWS as the cloud provider.
                              disk_size_gb=10,
                              num_shards=1,
                              provider_instance_size_name="M10",
                              provider_region_name="US_EAST_1",
                              cluster_type="REPLICASET",
                              replication_specs=[mongo_atlas.ClusterReplicationSpecArgs(
                                  num_shards=1,
                                  regions_config=[mongo_atlas.ClusterRegionsConfigArgs(
                                      region_name="US_EAST_1",
                                      electable_nodes=3,
                                      priority=7,
                                      read_only_nodes=0)]          
                              )])

# Assuming a collection named 'content' already exists in your database 'ai_catalog'.
# Configure an Atlas Search Index on that collection.
search_index = mongo_atlas.SearchIndex("ai-content-search-index",
                                       cluster_name=cluster.name,
                                       db_name="ai_catalog",
                                       collection_name="content",
                                       project_id=project_id,
                                       analyzer="lucene.standard",
                                       search_analyzer="lucene.standard",
                                       mappings_dynamic=True  # This allows the index to include all fields dynamically.
                                       )

# Export the search index ID and Atlas cluster details for reference.
pulumi.export("search_index_id", search_index.search_index_id)
pulumi.export("cluster_id", cluster.id)
pulumi.export("cluster_connection_string", cluster.connection_strings.apply(lambda cs: cs.standard))
```

**Explanation**:
- We create a MongoDB Atlas Cluster of size M10 in AWS cloud provider, in the US_EAST_1 region. This cluster is suitable for small to medium loads and includes 10 GB of storage.
- The `mongo_atlas.SearchIndex` resource creates an Atlas Search index on the specified MongoDB collection, allowing you to perform full-text search queries and indexing over the fields in your documents. The `analyzer` and `search_analyzer` are set to 'lucene.standard' which is a commonly used text analyzer implemented by the Lucene library.
- The `mappings_dynamic` parameter is set to `True`, which tells Atlas Search to automatically index all fields in the documents within the collection.
- The result of this will be an Atlas Search index that allows your applications to query your content using a rich set of query types.

This program is a simplified example; typically, you would need to customize the search index further based on the exact nature of your content schema and search requirements. You should consult the [MongoDB Atlas Search Documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/) for detailed information on configuring Atlas Search indices to suit your needs.
