milvus-sdk-cpp-example

An example to use milvus cpp sdk in your project. This project downloads milvus-sdk-cpp project from github and compile it. There will be an executable binary named "my_program" under the "cmake_build", which is compiled by the src/main.cpp. If you have an active Milvus server, you can run this program to connect the milvus.

Compile and run

make
make run

1. make command to compile the project, it downloads milvus-sdk-cpp&gRPC for the first time.
2. make run command to run the example program, make sure you have an active Milvus server before you running this command.

Notes

• It might cost 30 minutes for the first time to make, because the milvus-sdk-cpp depends on gRPC, gRPC repo is quite large and has many dependencies.

• The output of milvus-sdk-cpp is a shared library named "libmilvus_sdk.so" which dynamicly links to gRPC libs. You can find it under the cmake_build/_deps/milvus-sdk-build/src

• The gRPC libs are built under the cmake_build/_deps/grpc-build, the required version of gRPC is defined here: https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus-sdk-cpp/blob/627dcde2c74062bbd98acf88ab325b28b8ffa7cf/cmake/ThirdPartyPackages.cmake#L22. If you want to use an external gRPC, make sure the version is compatible witht the required version.

• You can use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to specify a gRPC lib path for "libmilvus_sdk.so".
