load()
This operation loads the data of the current partition into memory.
📘Notes
Using the partition_names parameter in the load() method of a Collection object is equivalent to using the load() method of corresponding Partition objects.

Examples​
from pymilvus import Collection, Partition, CollectionSchema, FieldSchema, DataType
schema = CollectionSchema([
FieldSchema("id", DataType.INT64, is_primary=True),
FieldSchema("vector", DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR, dim=5)
])
# Create a collection
collection = Collection(
name="test_collection",
schema=schema
)
# Create a partition
partition = Partition(
collection=collection,
name="test_partition"
)
# Load a partition with one replica of the collection data
partition.load()
# Load a partition with two replicas of the collection data
partition.load(
replica_number=2
)
