Ability to add new fields to existing collection

[RithikRaj64]

• I am working on a project where I am required to add a new field to an already existing collection.
• The only workaround that I could find is to create a new collection and with the existing data which is not much efficient.
• It would be helpful, if we could dynamically add more fields to an existing collection.

Currently, milvus doesn't support editing a collection's schema. It is a feature in plan, I suppose it will be available in a future major version (2.5 or 3.0).

In the current versions, if your collection has enabled dynamic schema, you can add new fields when you call insert().

We are targeting to deliver this feature on 3.0
