  • 结构数组

结构体数组Compatible with Milvus 2.6.4+

实体中的 "结构数组 "字段存储了一组有序的结构元素。数组中的每个 Struct 都共享相同的预定义 Schema，由多个向量和标量字段组成。

下面是一个包含 Array of Structs 字段的 Collections 实体示例。

{
    'id': 0,
    'title': 'Walden',
    'title_vector': [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5],
    'author': 'Henry David Thoreau',
    'year_of_publication': 1845,
    'chunks': [
        {
            'text': 'When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them...',
            'text_vector': [0.3, 0.2, 0.3, 0.2, 0.5],
            'chapter': 'Economy',
        },
        {
            'text': 'I would fain say something, not so much concerning the Chinese and...',
            'text_vector': [0.7, 0.4, 0.2, 0.7, 0.8],
            'chapter': 'Economy'
        }
    ]
    // hightlight-end
}

在上面的示例中，chunks 字段是一个数组结构体字段，每个结构体元素都包含自己的字段，即text 、text_vector 和chapter 。

限制

  • 数据类型

    创建 Collections 时，可以使用 Struct 类型作为 Array 字段中元素的数据类型。但是，您不能将 Struct 数组添加到现有的 Collections 中，而且 Milvus 不支持使用 Struct 类型作为 Collections 字段的数据类型。

    数组字段中的 Struct 共享相同的 Schema，这应该在创建数组字段时定义。

    Struct 模式包含向量和标量字段，如下表所示：

    字段类型

    数据类型

    向量

    FLOAT_VECTOR

    标量

    VARCHAR

    INT8/16/32/64

    FLOAT

    DOUBLE

    BOOLEAN

    保持 Collections 层面和 Structs 组合中的向量字段数量不大于或等于 10。

  • 可归零和默认值

    数组结构体字段不可为空，也不接受任何默认值。

  • 函数

    不能使用函数从 Struct 中的标量字段派生出向量字段。

  • 索引类型和度量类型

    必须为 Collections 中的所有向量场建立索引。要对 Structs 数组中的向量场进行索引，Milvus 使用嵌入列表来组织每个 Struct 元素中的向量嵌入，并对整个嵌入列表作为一个整体进行索引。

    你可以使用AUTOINDEX 或HNSW 作为索引类型，并使用下面列出的任何度量类型来为一个 Array of Structs 字段中的嵌入列表建立索引。

    索引类型

    度量类型

    备注

    AUTOINDEX (或HNSW)

    MAX_SIM_COSINE

    适用于以下类型的嵌入列表：

    • FLOAT_VECTOR

    MAX_SIM_IP

    MAX_SIM_L2

    结构数组字段中的标量字段不支持索引。

  • 倒插数据

    结构体在合并模式下不支持向上插入。但是，您仍然可以在覆盖模式下执行上插入操作，以更新 Structs 中的数据。有关合并模式下的upsert 和覆盖模式下的upsert 之间差异的详细信息，请参阅 "upsert 实体"。

  • 标量过滤

    在搜索和查询的过滤表达式中，不能使用结构体数组或其结构体元素中的任何字段。

添加结构数组

要在 Milvus 中使用结构数组，需要在创建 Collections 时定义一个数组字段，并将其元素的数据类型设置为 Struct。具体过程如下

  1. 将字段作为数组字段添加到 Collections Schema 时，将字段的数据类型设置为DataType.ARRAY 。

  2. 将字段的element_type 属性设置为DataType.STRUCT ，使字段成为结构数组。

  3. 创建一个 Struct 模式并包含所需字段。然后，在字段的struct_schema 属性中引用 Struct 模式。

  4. 将字段的max_capacity 属性设置为适当的值，以指定每个实体在该字段中可包含的最大 Struct 数量。

  5. (可选）可以为 Struct 元素中的任何字段设置mmap.enabled ，以平衡 Struct 中的冷热数据。

下面是如何定义包含 Struct 数组的 Collections 模式：

上述代码示例中高亮显示的几行说明了在 Collections 模式中包含 Struct 数组的过程。

设置索引参数

所有向量字段都必须设置索引，包括 Collections 中的向量字段和元素 Struct 中定义的向量字段。

适用的索引参数因使用的索引类型而异。有关适用索引参数的详细信息，请参阅Index Explained和所选索引类型的特定文档页面。

要为嵌入列表建立索引，需要将其索引类型设为AUTOINDEX 或HNSW ，并使用MAX_SIM_COSINE 作为 Milvus 的度量类型，以衡量嵌入列表之间的相似性。

Python Java Go NodeJS cURL
# Create index parameters
index_params = client.prepare_index_params()

# Create an index for the vector field in the collection
index_params.add_index(
    field_name="title_vector",
    index_type="AUTOINDEX",
    metric_type="L2",
)

# Create an index for the vector field in the element Struct
index_params.add_index(
    field_name="chunks[text_vector]",
    index_type="AUTOINDEX",
    metric_type="MAX_SIM_COSINE",
)

import io.milvus.v2.common.IndexParam;

List<IndexParam> indexParams = new ArrayList<>();
indexParams.add(IndexParam.builder()
        .fieldName("title_vector")
        .indexType(IndexParam.IndexType.AUTOINDEX)
        .metricType(IndexParam.MetricType.L2)
        .build());
indexParams.add(IndexParam.builder()
        .fieldName("chunks[text_vector]")
        .indexType(IndexParam.IndexType.AUTOINDEX)
        .metricType(IndexParam.MetricType.MAX_SIM_COSINE)
        .build());

// go

await milvusClient.createCollection({
  collection_name: "books",
  fields: schema,
});

const indexParams = [
  {
    field_name: "title_vector",
    index_type: "AUTOINDEX",
    metric_type: "L2",
  },
  {
    field_name: "chunks[text_vector]",
    index_type: "AUTOINDEX",
    metric_type: "MAX_SIM_COSINE",
  },
];

# restful

  {
    "fieldName": "title_vector",

  {

    "indexName": "chunks_text_vector_index",
    "indexType": "AUTOINDEX",
    "metricType": "MAX_SIM_COSINE"
  }
]'

创建 Collections

Schema 和索引准备就绪后，就可以创建一个包含 Array of Structs 字段的 Collection。

Python Java Go NodeJS cURL
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="my_collection",
    schema=schema,
    index_params=index_params
)

import io.milvus.v2.client.ConnectConfig;
import io.milvus.v2.client.MilvusClientV2;
import io.milvus.v2.service.collection.request.CreateCollectionReq;

MilvusClientV2 client = new MilvusClientV2(ConnectConfig.builder()
        .uri("http://localhost:19530")
        .token("root:Milvus")
        .build());

CreateCollectionReq requestCreate = CreateCollectionReq.builder()
        .collectionName("my_collection")
        .collectionSchema(collectionSchema)
        .indexParams(indexParams)
        .build();
client.createCollection(requestCreate);

// go

await milvusClient.createCollection({
  collection_name: "books",
  fields: schema,
  indexes: indexParams,
});

# restful
curl -X POST "http://localhost:19530/v2/vectordb/collections/create" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"collectionName\": \"my_collection\",
    \"description\": \"A collection for storing book information with struct array chunks\",
    \"schema\": $SCHEMA,
    \"indexParams\": $INDEX_PARAMS
  }"

插入数据

创建 Collections 后，您可以按如下方式插入包含 Structs 数组的数据。

Python Java Go NodeJS cURL

    'title_vector': [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5],

        .build());

针对 Structs 数组字段进行向量搜索

您可以对 Collections 和 Array of Structs 中的向量字段执行向量搜索。

具体来说，你应该将 Array of Structs 字段的名称和 Struct 元素中目标向量字段的名称串联起来，作为搜索请求中anns_field 参数的值，并使用EmbeddingList 来整齐地组织查询向量。

Milvus 提供的EmbeddingList 可以帮助你更整齐地组织针对 Structs 数组中的 Embeddings 列表进行搜索的查询向量。每个EmbeddingList 至少包含一个向量嵌入，并期望返回若干 topK 实体。

不过，EmbeddingList 只能用于没有范围搜索或分组搜索参数的search() 请求，更不用说search_iterator() 请求了。

上述搜索请求使用chunks[text_vector] 来引用 Struct 元素中的text_vector 字段。您可以使用此语法设置anns_field 和output_fields 参数。

输出将是三个最相似实体的列表。

在上述代码示例中，embeddingList1 是一个向量的嵌入列表，而embeddingList2 包含两个向量。每个嵌入列表都会触发一个单独的搜索请求，并期望得到前 K 个相似实体的列表。
