[Feature Request]: Support metadata boolean filtering

[digitaldesaster]

What happened?

data = collection.get(where={"is_feature": True}) print (len(data['documents'])) i = 0 for result in data['metadatas']: print (result['is_feature'])

i have a "is_feature" value in my metadata which is either True or False as boolean. the filter just doest not work.. which means i am getting all documents from the collection..

cheers Alex

Hi ! Technically speaking, boolean filtering is not supported. The supported types are str, int, float.

https://github.com/chroma-core/chroma/blob/25e2cffbfe547cc044186d4d5f4b659878a53e43/chromadb/api/types.py#L24

Could you try casting your data and using that? (i.e maybe use 0/1 for false/true)

I will turn this issue into a feature request as we 100% should support this! Thanks :)
