-
-
DataObject resource - Identifier. The fully qualified resource name of the
dataObject.
Format:
projects/{project}/locations/{location}/collections/{collection}/dataObjects/{data_object_id}The data_object_id must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.To set the
projectattribute:-
provide the argument
data_objecton the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--projecton the command line; -
set the property
core/project.
This must be specified.
DATA_OBJECT-
ID of the dataObject or fully qualified identifier for the dataObject.
To set the
data_objectattribute:-
provide the argument
data_objecton the command line.
This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
-
provide the argument
--collection=COLLECTION-
The collection id of the dataObject resource.
To set the
collectionattribute:-
provide the argument
data_objecton the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--collectionon the command line.
-
provide the argument
--location=LOCATION-
The location id of the dataObject resource.
To set the
locationattribute:-
provide the argument
data_objecton the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--locationon the command line.
-
provide the argument
-
provide the argument
-
DataObject resource - Identifier. The fully qualified resource name of the
dataObject.
- FLAGS
-
--data=DATA- The data of the dataObject.
--vectors=[VECTORS,…]-
The vectors of the dataObject.
KEY-
Sets
KEYvalue. VALUE-
Sets
VALUEvalue.dense-
A dense vector.
values- The values of the vector.
sparse-
