milvus-io/milvus-sdk-java

What it solves

This project provides a Java-based client library to interact with Milvus, a vector database designed for AI applications. It allows Java developers to integrate vector search and storage capabilities into their applications without needing to write low-level API calls manually.

How it works

The SDK acts as a bridge between a Java application and a Milvus server. It provides a set of Java classes and methods to perform operations such as inserting data, searching for similar vectors, and managing collections. It is distributed via Maven Central and can be integrated into projects using Maven or Gradle.

Who it’s for

Java developers who are using Milvus as their vector database for AI-driven features like similarity search or RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

Highlights

• Wide Compatibility: Supports a broad range of Milvus versions from 2.0 up to 3.0.x.
• Modular Design: Split into a core SDK and a separate milvus-sdk-java-bulkwriter package to reduce dependency overhead for users who do not need bulk data loading tools.
• Easy Integration: Fully compatible with Apache Maven and Gradle build systems.
