Identifying the Symptom: InvalidQueryType Error

When working with Pinecone, you might encounter the InvalidQueryType error. This error typically arises when executing a query with an unsupported or incorrectly specified query type. The error message will usually state that the query type is invalid, halting the execution of your query.

Exploring the Issue: What Causes InvalidQueryType?

The InvalidQueryType error occurs when the query type specified in your request does not match any of the supported query types in Pinecone. This can happen due to a typo, using an outdated query type, or misunderstanding the available query options.

Common Mistakes Leading to the Error

  • Typographical errors in the query type name.
  • Using deprecated or unsupported query types.
  • Misunderstanding the query type requirements.

Steps to Fix the InvalidQueryType Issue

To resolve the InvalidQueryType error, follow these steps:

1. Review Pinecone Documentation

First, ensure you are using a valid query type by reviewing the Pinecone Query Types Documentation. This documentation provides a comprehensive list of supported query types and their correct usage.

2. Verify Your Query Type

Double-check the query type specified in your request. Ensure there are no typographical errors and that the query type matches one of the supported types listed in the documentation.

3. Update Your Query

If you find that the query type is incorrect, update your query to use a valid type. For example, if you mistakenly used "nearest_neighbors" instead of "similarity_search", correct it in your query code.

// Example of correcting a query type
const query = {
"query_type": "similarity_search",
"vector": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3],
"top_k": 10
};
