To reduce network transmission and skip Plusar management, the new interface will allow users to input the path of some data files(json, numpy, etc.) on MinIO/S3 storage, and let the data nodes directly read these files and parse them into segments. The internal logic of the process becomes:
1. client calls import() to pass some file paths to Milvus proxy node
2. proxy node passes the file paths to data coordinator node
3. data coordinator node picks a data node or multiple data nodes (according to the sharding number) to parse files, each file can be parsed into a segment or multiple segments.

import(collection_name="test", files={"uid": "file_1.json", "vector": "file_2.json"}) |
We also allow user to support store vectors in a Numpy file, let's say the "vector" field is stored in file_2.npy, then we can call import():
