flush()

Addedv2.4.x

This operation manually seals a segment and persists the data on disk. It is recommended that this operation be called after all the data has been inserted into a collection.

flush(data): Promise<FlushResult>

📘Notes

Milvus automatically flushes data into persistent storage at intervals. You are advised to rely on this automatic data persistence mechnism.
