Qdrant is an advanced vector similarity search engine designed to handle large-scale, high-dimensional data. It is particularly useful for applications involving machine learning models, such as recommendation systems, image recognition, and natural language processing. By providing efficient and scalable vector search capabilities, Qdrant enables developers to build applications that require fast and accurate similarity searches.
When working with Qdrant, you might encounter an error message stating 'Resource Not Found'. This typically occurs when a requested resource, such as a collection or a specific vector, cannot be located on the server. This error can disrupt the normal operation of your application, leading to failed queries or incomplete data retrieval.
The 'Resource Not Found' error is generally triggered when the server is unable to find the specified resource. This can happen if the resource identifier is incorrect or if the resource has not been created yet. It is crucial to ensure that the resource you are trying to access exists and that you are using the correct identifier.
To address this issue, follow these steps to verify and correct the resource access:
Ensure that the identifier you are using to access the resource is correct. Double-check the spelling and case sensitivity, as identifiers are often case-sensitive. If you are unsure about the correct identifier, you can list available resources using the following command:
curl -X GET 'http://localhost:6333/collections'
This command will return a list of all collections available on the server.
If the resource does not exist, you will need to create it. For example, to create a new collection, use the following command:
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:6333/collections/my_collection' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"vectors": {"size": 128, "distance": "Cosine"}}'
Replace my_collection with your desired collection name and adjust the vector size and distance metric as needed.
If a resource was deleted, ensure that you are not attempting to access it. You can verify the existence of a resource by listing all resources as shown in Step 1.
