DashVector:Obtain a list of partitions

Last Updated:Apr 11, 2024

This topic describes how to obtain a list of all partitions in a collection by using the SDK for Python.

Prerequisites

API definition

Collection.list_partitions() -> DashVectorResponse

Example

Note
  1. You need to replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key and YOUR_CLUSTER_ENDPOINT with the endpoint of your cluster in the sample code for the code to run properly.

  2. You need to create a collection named quickstart in advance. For more information, see the "Example" section of the Create a collection topic.

import dashvector

client = dashvector.Client(
    api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
    endpoint='YOUR_CLUSTER_ENDPOINT'
)
collection = client.get(name='quickstart')

partitions = collection.list_partitions()

# Check whether the list_partitions method is successfully called.
if partitions:
    # Display all partitions.
    for pt in partitions:
        print(pt)

    # Display the length of the partitions.
    print(len(partitions))

    # Check whether a partition exists.
    print('quickstart' in partitions)
else:
    # Display an error message if the operation fails.
    print(partitions)
