Core Concepts
Index contract
What makes a Milvus collection ready to serve.
The active index consists of a Milvus collection and current.json. The manifest records the corpus hashes, complete paper-ID fingerprint, embedding model and dimension, Milvus versions, metrics, and RRF fusion.
Readiness verifies:
- the source files and manifest agree;
- the collection has the required fields and BM25 function;
- the COSINE and BM25 indexes have the required configuration;
- the row count and complete paper-ID set match the 6,341-paper snapshot.
These checks do not call DashScope.
