Describe the issue

I'm encountering a SIGKILL error when starting my app after building it with Docker (targeting linux/amd64). The app works locally without issues, but during Docker-based startup, some specific imports from the graphrag package cause a SIGKILL, preventing the app from starting.

Problem Imports:

from graphrag.query.context_builder.entity_extraction import EntityVectorStoreKey
from graphrag.query.indexer_adapters import (
    read_indexer_entities,
    read_indexer_relationships,
    read_indexer_reports,
    read_indexer_text_units,
)
from graphrag.query.input.loaders.dfs import (
   store_entity_semantic_embeddings,
 )
from graphrag.query.structured_search.local_search.mixed_context import (
     LocalSearchMixedContext,
 )
from graphrag.vector_stores.lancedb import LanceDBVectorStore

Steps to reproduce

1. Build the Docker image targeting linux/amd64.
2. Start the app using the provided Docker entrypoint.
3. Observe the SIGKILL error during startup.

Expected Behavior: The app should start without crashing or encountering a SIGKILL.

Environment: Local environment: M1 Mac with Apple silicon, Works with Uvicorn without issues. Docker environment: Fails on startup with SIGKILL. Docker Target: linux/amd64 entrypoint:

  [
"gunicorn"
,
"--worker-class"
,
"uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker"
,
"--bind=0.0.0.0:8000"
,
"--timeout=300"
,
"--workers=1"
,
"--log-level=DEBUG"
,
"src.app.main:get_api"
,
  ]
