import com.google.gson.JsonObject;
import io.milvus.v2.client.ConnectConfig;
import io.milvus.v2.client.MilvusClientV2;
import io.milvus.v2.service.vector.request.InsertReq;

// 2. Add one row to the collection, the collection has an "id" field
// and a "vector" field with dimension 2
JsonObject row = new JsonObject();
List<Float> vectorList = new ArrayList<>();
vectorList.add(1.0f);
vectorList.add(2.0f);
row.add("vector", gson.toJsonTree(vectorList));
row.addProperty("id", 0L);

InsertReq insertReq = InsertReq.builder()
