+# Index Qdrant
+
+### Description
+A Fondant component to load textual data and embeddings into a Qdrant database. NOTE: A Qdrant collection has to be created in advance with the appropriate configurations. https://qdrant.tech/documentation/concepts/collections/
+
+### Inputs / outputs
+
+**This component consumes:**
+
+- text
+    - data: string
+    - embedding: list<item: float>
+
+**This component produces no data.**
+
+### Arguments
+
+The component takes the following arguments to alter its behavior:
+
+| argument | type | description | default |
+| -------- | ---- | ----------- | ------- |
+| collection_name | str | The name of the Qdrant collection to upsert data into. | / |
+| location | str | The location of the Qdrant instance. | / |
+| batch_size | int | The batch size to use when uploading points to Qdrant. | 64 |
+| parallelism | int | The number of parallel workers to use when uploading points to Qdrant. | 1 |
+| url | str | Either host or str of 'Optional[scheme], host, Optional[port], Optional[prefix]'. | / |
+| port | int | Port of the REST API interface. | 6333 |
+| grpc_port | int | Port of the gRPC interface. | 6334 |
+| prefer_grpc | bool | If `true` - use gRPC interface whenever possible in custom methods. | / |
+| https | bool | If `true` - use HTTPS(SSL) protocol. | / |
+| api_key | str | API key for authentication in Qdrant Cloud. | / |
+| prefix | str | If set, add `prefix` to the REST URL path. | / |
+| timeout | int | Timeout for API requests. | / |
+| host | str | Host name of Qdrant service. If url and host are not set, defaults to 'localhost'. | / |
+| path | str | Persistence path for QdrantLocal. Eg. `local_data/qdrant` | / |
+| force_disable_check_same_thread | bool | Force disable check_same_thread for QdrantLocal sqlite connection. | / |
+
+### Usage
+
+You can add this component to your pipeline using the following code:
+
+```python
+from fondant.pipeline import ComponentOp
+
+
+index_qdrant_op = ComponentOp.from_registry(
+    name="index_qdrant",
+    arguments={
+        # Add arguments
+        # "collection_name": ,
+        # "location": ,
+        # "batch_size": 64,
+        # "parallelism": 1,
+        # "url": ,
+        # "port": 6333,
+        # "grpc_port": 6334,
+        # "prefer_grpc": False,
+        # "https": False,
+        # "api_key": ,
+        # "prefix": ,
+        # "timeout": 0,
+        # "host": ,
+        # "path": ,
+        # "force_disable_check_same_thread": False,
+    }
+)
+pipeline.add_op(index_qdrant_op, dependencies=[...])  #Add previous component as dependency
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+You can run the tests using docker with BuildKit. From this directory, run:
+```
+docker build . --target test
+```
