LlamaIndex and Ray are used to build a query engine to answer questions about Ray itself by utilizing its documentation and blog posts. LlamaIndex provides a data framework for building LLM applications, while Ray offers a scalable AI framework that can be used to accelerate ingest, inference, pretraining, and deployment of the query capabilities into the cloud. The application uses parallel processing with Ray's `flat_map` method to process multiple input files simultaneously, reducing computation time and improving hardware utilization. The application then stores the processed data in an index within LlamaIndex, which can be used for downstream LLM retrieval and querying. Ray Serve is used to deploy the application into production, allowing users to seamlessly query the application with questions about Ray. The application demonstrates how to build a powerful query module over data using LlamaIndex + Ray, enabling users to effortlessly ask questions and synthesize insights about Ray across disparate data sources.
