This is the constructor method to create a FieldSchema.

Invocation

FieldSchema(name, dtype, description='', **kwargs)

Return

A FieldSchema object.

Properties

name	Name of the field
is_primary	Boolean value that indicates if the field is the primary key field

Example

from pymilvus import CollectionSchema, FieldSchema, DataType
book_id = FieldSchema(
  name="book_id", 
  dtype=DataType.INT64, 
  is_primary=True, 
)
book_name = FieldSchema(
  name="book_name", 
  dtype=DataType.VARCHAR, 
  max_length_per_row=200, #max_length_per_row must be specified to limit the max length of VARCHAR. The value should be in (0, 65535].
)
word_count = FieldSchema(
  name="word_count", 
  dtype=DataType.INT64,  
)
book_intro = FieldSchema(
  name="book_intro", 
  dtype=DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR, 
  dim=2
)
schema = CollectionSchema(
  fields=[book_id, word_count, book_intro], 
  description="Test book search"
)
