import io.milvus.param.*;

AlterCollectionParam param = AlterCollectionParam.newBuilder()
        .withCollectionName(COLLECTION_NAME)
        .withTTL(1800)
        .build();
R<RpcStatus> response = client.alterCollection(param);
if (response.getStatus() != R.Status.Success.getCode()) {
    System.out.println(response.getMessage());
