# hello_milvus.py demonstrates the basic operations of PyMilvus, a Python SDK of Milvus.
# 1. connect to Milvus
# 2. create collection
# 3. insert data
# 4. create index
# 5. search, query, and hybrid search on entities
# 6. delete entities by PK
# 7. drop collection

# 1. connect to Milvus
# Add a new connection alias `default` for Milvus server in `localhost:19530`
# Actually the "default" alias is a buildin in PyMilvus.
# If the address of Milvus is the same as `localhost:19530`, you can omit all
# parameters and call the method as: `connections.connect()`.
#
# Note: the `using` parameter of the following methods is default to "default".

# 2. create collection
# We're going to create a collection with 3 fields.
# +-+------------+------------+------------------+------------------------------+
# | | field name | field type | other attributes | field description |
# +-+------------+------------+------------------+------------------------------+
# |1| "pk" | VarChar | is_primary=True | "primary field" |
# | | | | auto_id=False | |
# +-+------------+------------+------------------+------------------------------+
# |2| "random" | Double | | "a double field" |
# +-+------------+------------+------------------+------------------------------+
# |3|"embeddings"| FloatVector| dim=8 | "float vector with dim 8" |
# +-+------------+------------+------------------+------------------------------+
fields = [
FieldSchema(name="pk", dtype=DataType.VARCHAR, is_primary=True, auto_id=False, max_length=100),
FieldSchema(name="random", dtype=DataType.DOUBLE),
FieldSchema(name="embeddings", dtype=DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR, dim=dim)
]
schema = CollectionSchema(fields, "hello_milvus is the simplest demo to introduce the APIs")
print(fmt.format("Create collection `hello_milvus`"))
hello_milvus = Collection("hello_milvus", schema, consistency_level="Strong")
################################################################################
# 3. insert data
# We are going to insert 3000 rows of data into `hello_milvus`
# Data to be inserted must be organized in fields.
#
# The insert() method returns:
# - either automatically generated primary keys by Milvus if auto_id=True in the schema;
# - or the existing primary key field from the entities if auto_id=False in the schema.
print(fmt.format("Start inserting entities"))
rng = np.random.default_rng(seed=19530)
entities = [
# provide the pk field because `auto_id` is set to False
[str(i) for i in range(num_entities)],
rng.random(num_entities).tolist(), # field random, only supports list
rng.random((num_entities, dim)), # field embeddings, supports numpy.ndarray and list
]
insert_result = hello_milvus.insert(entities)
print(f"Number of entities in Milvus: {hello_milvus.num_entities}") # check the num_entites
################################################################################
# 4. create index
# We are going to create an IVF_FLAT index for hello_milvus collection.
# create_index() can only be applied to `FloatVector` and `BinaryVector` fields.
print(fmt.format("Start Creating index IVF_FLAT"))

# 5. search, query, and hybrid search
# After data were inserted into Milvus and indexed, you can perform:
# - search based on vector similarity
# - query based on scalar filtering(boolean, int, etc.)
# - hybrid search based on vector similarity and scalar filtering.
#
# Before conducting a search or a query, you need to load the data in `hello_milvus` into memory.
print(fmt.format("Start loading"))

# search based on vector similarity

for hit in hits:
print(f"hit: {hit}, random field: {hit.entity.get('random')}")

# 6. delete entities by PK
# You can delete entities by their PK values using boolean expressions.
ids = insert_result.primary_keys

###############################################################################
# 7. drop collection
# Finally, drop the hello_milvus collection
print(fmt.format("Drop collection `hello_milvus`"))
utility.drop_collection("hello_milvus")
# create collection again to test stopping with collection
print(fmt.format("Recreate collection `hello_milvus`"))
