String
dataData to insert in each field.

Variadic slice of entity.Column

Return

Entity.Column that represents the IDs of the inserted data.

  • ErrCollectionNotExists, error that the collection with the specified name does not exist.

  • error that the specified field is not valid.

  • error that API invocation failed.

Example

bookIDs := make([]int64, 0, 2000)
wordCounts := make([]int64, 0, 2000)
bookIntros := make([][]float32, 0, 2000)
for i := 0; i < 2000; i++ {
    bookIDs = append(bookIDs, int64(i))
    wordCounts = append(wordCounts, int64(i+10000))
    v := make([]float32, 0, 2)
    for j := 0; j < 2; j++ {
        v = append(v, rand.Float32())
    }
    bookIntros = append(bookIntros, v)
}
idColumn := entity.NewColumnInt64("book_id", bookIDs)
wordColumn := entity.NewColumnInt64("word_count", wordCounts)
introColumn := entity.NewColumnFloatVector("book_intro", 2, bookIntros)
_, err = milvusClient.Insert(
    context.Background(),
    "book",
    "",
    idColumn,
    wordColumn,
    introColumn,
)
if err != nil {
