Building Milvus Standalone from a customized Knowhere

[tshimpi]

I made some changes for my own research to knowhere. I want to build Milvus Standalone with those changes. How should I do that?
I have built knowhere and got the .so for knowhere

1. Fork the knowhere repo
2. Change the repo address of this line to yours:

   milvus/internal/core/thirdparty/knowhere/CMakeLists.txt

   Line 18 in 89bc945

   set( GIT_REPOSITORY "https://github.com/zilliztech/knowhere.git")

3. Add a tag to your knowhere repo, change the tag in this line to yours:

   milvus/internal/core/thirdparty/knowhere/CMakeLists.txt

   Line 17 in 89bc945

   set( KNOWHERE_VERSION v2.5.3 )

4. Under the milvus repo root path, make clean then make

No need to build the knowhere.so by yourself. The milvus compile process aotumatically fetch the knowhere repo by the tag and build the so. You will see a libknowhere.so generated under the path /milvus_repo/cmake_build/lib/
