A collection is a static copy of a pod-based index that only consumes storage. It is a non-queryable representation of a set of records. You can create a collection of a pod-based index, and you can create a new pod-based index from a collection. This allows you to restore the index with the same or different configurations.
Once a collection is created, it cannot be moved to a different project.
Creating a collection is useful when performing tasks like the following:
Collections operations perform differently, depending on the pod type of the index:
p1
or s1
index from a collection takes approximately 10 minutes.p2
index from a collection can take several hours when the number of vectors is on the order of 1,000,000.Collection limitations are as follows:
