As of version 1.15,
MilvusDocumentStore
has been deprecated in Haystack. It will be deleted from thehaystack
repository as of version 1.17 and moved to haystack-extras.How to use
MilvusDocumentStore
?If you're currently using
MilvusDocumentStore
in a version older than 1.17, you don't need to make any changes and can continue to use it as before. However, if you plan to upgrade to v1.17 or later, you will need to installMilvusDocumentStore
from thehaystack-extras
repository. We will provide more information on how to do this as we release v1.17.Why are we doing this?
We understand this change may be inconvenient for some of you, but we are doing it to improve the developer experience and maintainability of Haystack.
We have several DocumentStores in Haystack, and it has become costly and complex to maintain them all within the core Haystack project. As such, we are encouraging contributors to create new DocumentStores in external projects, such as QdrantDocumentStore, and retiring existing ones based on criteria that include popularity, ease of maintenance, and external support from creators of the vector database.
That's why we decided to move
MilvusDocumentStore
to thehaystack-extras
repository, where we keep additional Haystack components. Note that the deepset team and the Haystack community make their best effort to maintain components inhaystack-extras
.Let us know 🙌
