Connecting to the Hyperspace Server
The following describes how to create a local instance of the Hyperspace client, which will enable you to connect to the database through the Hyperspace API. Hyperspace provides you with a username, password and the address of the cloud machine to which you will connect using the Hyperspace API.
To create a local instance of the Hyperspace client –
Copy the following code snippet to enable a connection to the database through the Hyperspace API.
1
hyperspace_client = hyperspace.HyperspaceClientApi(host=host_address,
2
username=username,
3
password=password)
Make the following two modifications before running it.
- Replace host_address with the address of the Hyperspace cloud machine that you will access. This will be provided to you by Hyperspace.
- Replace username and password with the user name and password provided to you by Hyperspace.
To check that the client is live, run the following command -
1
print(hyperspace_client.collections_info())
A status message similar to the following should appear –
[{'Collections size': {'GeneratedData': 0,
'Number of total vectors': 98792},
{'Number of data nodes': 1}]
If no status message appears, then contact support for assistance.
