Load Index

The service-based Python SDK does not have a separate load_index() method. Instead, use the create_index() method to connect to existing indexes.

This will be changed in the v0.12.0 release of the Python SDK.

Connecting to Existing Indexes

To connect to an existing index using the service Python SDK, use create_index() with the same parameters:

from cyborgdb import Client, IndexIVF

client = Client('http://localhost:8000', 'your-api-key')

# Connect to existing index (or create if it doesn't exist)
index_key = your_existing_32_byte_key  # Must be the same key used originally
config = IndexIVF(
    type='ivf',
    dimension=768,
    n_lists=1024,
    metric='cosine'
)

# This will connect to the existing index if it exists with this name and key
index = client.create_index(
    index_name='my-existing-index',
    index_key=index_key,
    index_config=config
)
