.Net: Bug: AzureCosmosDBNoSQLMemoryStore failed to UpsertItemAsync

[nikkla]

Describe the bug AzureCosmosDBNoSQLMemoryStore can not save Information to Azure NoSQL Cosmos DB because CosmosDb Method UpsertItemAsync() fails to execute with following message:

"One of the specified inputs is invalid"

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup MemoryStore:

   
   var comsmosClient = new CosmosClient(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DocumentEndpointConnectionString"));
   var embedding = new Embedding
   {
   DataType = VectorDataType.Float32,
   DistanceFunction = DistanceFunction.Cosine,
   Path = "/embedding",
   Dimensions = 1536,
   };

var indexPolicy = new IndexingPolicy { VectorIndexes = new() { new() { Path = embedding.Path, Type = VectorIndexType.QuantizedFlat } } };

new MemoryBuilder() .WithOpenAITextEmbeddingGeneration("text-embedding-3-small", Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("openAiKey")!) .WithMemoryStore(new AzureCosmosDBNoSQLMemoryStore(comsmosClient, "memoryDb", new VectorEmbeddingPolicy([embedding]), indexPolicy)) .Build();

2. Store new Item to Memory:
```csharp
private readonly ISemanticTextMemory semanticTextMemory;

---
var content = "Some awesome content";
var id = await semanticTextMemory.SaveInformationAsync(CollectionName, content, Guid.NewGuid().ToString());

Expected behavior The Semantic Text Memory stores the information correctly without errors in the Azure NoSQL Cosmos DB.

Screenshots

Platform

• Windows 11
• Visual Studio 17.11.0
• C# Azure Function over local debugging
• Sources:
  • Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos (3.43.0-preview.0)
  • Microsoft.SemanticKernel (1.18.0-rc)
  • Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.AzureCosmosDBNoSQL (1.18.0-alpha)

Additional context Semantic Kernel correctly creates the container and also adds the vector index. The error only occurs when storing the information.

Hi @nikkla ! While we investigate this issue, I would recommend trying newly updated NoSQL connector which allows to work with your custom schema. You can try it now by downloading SK v1.17.2: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.AzureCosmosDBNoSQL/1.17.2-alpha

Class to operate with collections is AzureCosmosDBNoSQLVectorStoreRecordCollection: https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/src/Connectors/Connectors.Memory.AzureCosmosDBNoSQL/AzureCosmosDBNoSQLVectorStoreRecordCollection.cs

Would be great to receive your feedback, thanks!

Hi @dmytrostruk thank you for your answer. As a mentioned in the bug description, I'm currently using the newest version of the AzureCosmosDBNoSQL which is 1.18.0-alpha referring to Nuget https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.AzureCosmosDBNoSQL.

I'm using no custom schema, the collection was created by Semantic Kernel. I just added the vector index with semantic kernel based on the documentation I could found. Based on the error calling stack it seems like the error is not in the vector index, because the upsert failed. May Semantic Kernel not passing the correct arguments.
