import io.milvus.v2.client.ConnectConfig;
import io.milvus.v2.client.MilvusClientV2;
import io.milvus.v2.service.vector.request.QueryReq;
import io.milvus.v2.service.vector.response.QueryResp;

// 1. Set up a client
ConnectConfig connectConfig = ConnectConfig.builder()

        .token("root:Milvus")
        .build();

// 2. Query by filter "id < 10"
QueryReq queryReq = QueryReq.builder()
        .collectionName("test")
        .filter("id < 10")
        .build();
QueryResp queryResp = client.query(queryReq);
for (QueryResp.QueryResult result : queryResp.getGetResults()) {
    System.out.println(result.getEntity());
