        In order to use this you need to have `pymilvus` installed and a
        running Milvus/Zilliz Cloud instance.
        See the following documentation for how to run a Milvus instance:
        https://milvus.io/docs/install_standalone-docker.md
        If looking for a hosted Milvus, take a looka this documentation:
        https://zilliz.com/cloud
        IF USING L2/IP metric IT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED TO NORMALIZE YOUR DATA.
The connection args used for this class comes in the form of a dict,
        here are a few of the options:
            address (str): The actual address of Milvus
                instance. Example address: "localhost:19530"
            uri (str): The uri of Milvus instance. Example uri:
                "http://randomwebsite:19530",
                "tcp:foobarsite:19530",
                "https://ok.s3.south.com:19530".
            host (str): The host of Milvus instance. Default at "localhost",
                PyMilvus will fill in the default host if only port is provided.
            port (str/int): The port of Milvus instance. Default at 19530, PyMilvus
                will fill in the default port if only host is provided.
            user (str): Use which user to connect to Milvus instance. If user and
                password are provided, we will add related header in every RPC call.
            password (str): Required when user is provided. The password
                corresponding to the user.
            secure (bool): Default is false. If set to true, tls will be enabled.
            client_key_path (str): If use tls two-way authentication, need to
                write the client.key path.
            client_pem_path (str): If use tls two-way authentication, need to
                write the client.pem path.
            ca_pem_path (str): If use tls two-way authentication, need to write
                the ca.pem path.
            server_pem_path (str): If use tls one-way authentication, need to
                write the server.pem path.
            server_name (str): If use tls, need to write the common name.

Args:
            embedding_function (Embeddings): Function used to embed the text.

            connection_args (Optional[dict[str, any]]): The arguments for connection to
                Milvus/Zilliz instance. Defaults to DEFAULT_MILVUS_CONNECTION.
            consistency_level (str): The consistency level to use for a collection.
                Defaults to "Session".
            index_params (Optional[dict]): Which index params to use. Defaults to
                HNSW/AUTOINDEX depending on service.
            search_params (Optional[dict]): Which search params to use. Defaults to
                default of index.
            drop_old (Optional[bool]): Whether to drop the current collection. Defaults
