loadCollection()

A MilvusClient interface. This method loads the specified collection and all the data within to memory for search or query.

R<RpcStatus> loadCollection(LoadCollectionParam requestParam);

LoadCollectionParam

Use the LoadCollectionParam.Builder to construct a LoadCollectionParam object.

import io.milvus.param.LoadCollectionParam;
LoadCollectionParam.Builder builder = LoadCollectionParam.newBuilder();

Methods of LoadCollectionParam.Builder:

MethodDescriptionParameters
withCollectionName(String collectionName)Sets the collection name. The collection name cannot be empty or null.collectionName: The name of the collection to load.
withSyncLoad(Boolean syncLoad)Enables sync mode when loading a collection. With sync mode enabled, the client keeps waiting until all segments of the collection are successfully loaded. If sync mode is disabled, the client returns instantly after loadCollection() is called. Sync mode is enabled by default.syncLoad:A boolean value to indicate if sync mode is enabled. If the value is set to True, this means sync mode is enabled.
withSyncLoadWaitingInterval(Long milliseconds)Sets the waiting interval for sync mode. In sync mode, the client checks the collection load status at intervals. The value must be greater than zero, and cannot be greater than Constant.MAX_WAITING_LOADING_INTERVAL. The default value is 500 milliseconds.milliseconds: The time interval in milliseconds for checking the data load status.
withSyncLoadWaitingTimeout(Long seconds)Sets the timeout period for sync mode. The value must be greater than zero and cannot be greater than Constant.MAX_WAITING_LOADING_TIMEOUT. The default value is 60 seconds.seconds: A duration of time in seconds to wait till timeout.
withReplicaNumber(Integer replicaNumber)Specifies the number of replicas to load. The default value is 1.replicaNumber: The number of the replicas to load when loading a collection.
withRefresh(Boolean refresh)Specifies whether to renew the segement list of this collection before loading. The flag must be FALSE when you load a collection for the first time. Set the flag to TRUE have Milvus look for the segments that are not loaded and try to load them into query nodes.refresh: The flag to indicate whether to have Milvus renew the segment list.
build()Constructs a LoadCollectionParam object.N/A

The LoadCollectionParam.Builder.build() could throw the following exceptions:

  • ParamException: error if the parameter is invalid.

Returns

This method catches all the exceptions and returns an R<RpcStatus> object.

  • If the API fails on the server side, it returns the error code and message from the server.

  • If the API fails by RPC exception, it returns R.Status.Unknow and the error message of the exception.

  • If the API succeeds, it returns R.Status.Success.

Example

import io.milvus.param.*;

LoadCollectionParam param = LoadCollectionParam.newBuilder()
        .withCollectionName(collectionName)
        .withReplicaNumber(2)
        .withSyncLoad(Boolean.TRUE)
        .withSyncLoadWaitingInterval(500L)
        .withSyncLoadWaitingTimeout(30L)
        .build();
R<RpcStatus> response = client.loadCollection(param);
if (response.getStatus() != R.Status.Success.getCode()) {
    System.out.println(response.getMessage());
}
