Load and Insert data

[molo6379]

I once saw a discussion(cannot find now) from here that the safest way of inserting data into the collection and search is:
Create collection -> create index -> insert_data -> load collection -> search

Is it still the same process or has it changed?

I am asking since the client.create_collection() loads collection before data is inserted. I know that you can still insert data after the load but am not sure what it means by the "safe way".

Just make sure create_index() is called before load(), and load() is called before search().
insert() can be called anywhere.
All of the following workflows are allowed:
(A) create_collection --> insert() --> create_index() --> load() --> search()
(B) create_collection --> create_index() --> insert() --> load() --> search()
(C) create_collection --> create_index() --> load() --> insert() --> search()
(D) create_collection --> insert() --> create_index() --> insert() --> load() --> insert() --> search()

The pymilvus MilvusClient is using the workflow C
