Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems often fail to distinguish between new and old information, leading users to receive outdated content. This article proposes a solution by integrating staleness tracking and recency-weighted retrieval into a Databricks RAG pipeline. The approach involves using Change Data Capture (CDC) for incremental updates to the vector search index and implementing mechanisms to identify and prioritize newer documents over superseded ones.
