CLI installed, a usable data-plane credential configured, and cluster context set (see setup skill).\n2. Target collection must exist (see collection skill).\n\n## Commands Reference\n\nAll partition commands accept an optional `--database <db-name>` flag. If omitted, the database from the current context is used.\n\n### Create a Partition\n\n```bash\nzilliz partition create --collection <collection-name> --partition <partition-name>\n# Optional: --database <database-name>\n```\n\n### List Partitions\n\n```bash\nzilliz partition list --collection <collection-name>\n# Optional: --database <database-name>\n```\n\n### Drop a Partition\n\n```bash\nzilliz partition drop --collection <collection-name> --partition <partition-name-to-drop>\n# Optional: --database <database-name>\n```\n\n### Check if a Partition Exists\n\n```bash\nzilliz partition has --collection <collection-name> --partition <partition-name>\n# Optional: --database <database-name>\n```\n\n### Get Statistics\n\n```bash\nzilliz partition get-stats --collection <collection-name> --partition <partition-name>\n# Optional: --database <database-name>\n```\n\n### Load a Partition\n\n```bash\nzilliz partition load --collection <collection-name> --names '[\"partition1\", \"partition2\"]'\n# Optional: --database <database-name>\n```\n\n### Release a Partition\n\n```bash\nzilliz partition release --collection <collection-name> --names '[\"partition1\", \"partition2\"]'\n# Optional: --database <database-name>\n```\n\n## Guidance\n\n- Every collection has a default `_default` partition.\n- Partitions allow organizing data for more targeted searches.\n- A partition must be loaded before it can be searched.\n- Before dropping a partition, confirm with the user -- all data in it will be deleted.\n- Use partition stats to check row counts per partition.\n- For filter expression syntax used in vector operations on partitions, see the vector skill.\n"},"changes":[],"summary":"First saved snapshot.
