from pymilvus import CollectionSchema, FieldSchema, DataType
# Create field schemas
primary_key = FieldSchema(
name="id",
dtype=DataType.INT64,
is_primary=True,
)
vector = FieldSchema(
name="vector",
dtype=DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR,
dim=768,
)
# Create a CollectionSchema with field schemas
schema = CollectionSchema(
fields = [primary_key, vector]
)
# Call to_dict() to get a dictionary representation of the schema
schema_dict = schema.to_dict()
print(schema_dict)
# Output
