client.recreate_collection TypeError

[superMDguy]

I tried creating a recreating a collection using the GRPC api.

client.recreate_collection(
    collection_name="new",
    vectors_config=models.VectorParams(
                size=EMBEDDING_DIMS, distance=models.Distance.COSINE
            ),
    init_from=models.InitFrom(
        collection="old"
    )
)

Got this error:

A similar PUT request worked:

PUT /collections/new
{
    "vectors": {
      "size": 1536,
      "distance": "Cosine"
    },
    "init_from": {
       "collection": "old"
    }
}

Hey @superMDguy

Thank you for pointing it out
It is indeed a error on our side, we will fix it soon
Http qdrant client should work fine at the moment

[superMDguy]

Thanks, temporarily switched to http and it's working
