## Pull Request Summary: Entity-Level TTL Field Support
### Core Invariant and Design
This PR introduces **per-entity TTL (time-to-live) expiration** via a
dedicated TIMESTAMPTZ field as a fine-grained alternative to
collection-level TTL. The key invariant is **mutual exclusivity**:
collection-level TTL and entity-level TTL field cannot coexist on the
same collection. Validation is enforced at the proxy layer during
collection creation/alteration (`validateTTL()` prevents both being set
simultaneously).
### What Is Removed and Why
- **Global `EntityExpirationTTL` parameter** removed from config
(`configs/milvus.yaml`, `pkg/util/paramtable/component_param.go`). This
was the only mechanism for collection-level expiration. The removal is
safe because:
- The collection-level TTL path (`isEntityExpired(ts)` check) remains
intact in the codebase for backward compatibility
- TTL field check (`isEntityExpiredByTTLField()`) is a secondary path
invoked only when a TTL field is configured
- Existing deployments using collection TTL can continue without
modification
The global parameter was removed specifically because entity-level TTL
makes per-entity control redundant with a collection-wide setting, and
the PR chooses one mechanism per collection rather than layering both.
### No Data Loss or Behavior Regression
**TTL filtering logic is additive and safe:**
1. **Collection-level TTL unaffected**: The `isEntityExpired(ts)` check
still applies when no TTL field is configured; callers of
`EntityFilter.Filtered()` pass `-1` as the TTL expiration timestamp when
no field exists, causing `isEntityExpiredByTTLField()` to return false
immediately
2. **Null/invalid TTL values treated safely**: Rows with null TTL or TTL
≤ 0 are marked as "never expire" (using sentinel value `int64(^uint64(0)
>> 1)`) and are preserved across compactions; percentile calculations
only include positive TTL values
3. **Query-time filtering automatic**: TTL filtering is transparently
added to expression compilation via `AddTTLFieldFilterExpressions()`,
which appends `(ttl_field IS NULL OR ttl_field > current_time)` to the
filter pipeline. Entities with null TTL always pass the filter
4. **Compaction triggering granular**: Percentile-based expiration (20%,
40%, 60%, 80%, 100%) allows configurable compaction thresholds via
`SingleCompactionRatioThreshold`, preventing premature data deletion
### Capability Added: Per-Entity Expiration with Data Distribution
Awareness
Users can now specify a TIMESTAMPTZ collection property `ttl_field`
naming a schema field. During data writes, TTL values are collected per
segment and percentile quantiles (5-value array) are computed and stored
in segment metadata. At query time, the TTL field is automatically
filtered. At compaction time, segment-level percentiles drive
expiration-based compaction decisions, enabling intelligent compaction
of segments where a configurable fraction of data has expired (e.g.,
compact when 40% of rows are expired, controlled by threshold ratio).

If collection TTL property is malformed (e.g., non-numeric value),
compaction tasks would fail silently and get stuck. This change:
- Add centralized GetCollectionTTL/GetCollectionTTLFromMap functions in
pkg/common to handle TTL parsing with proper error handling
- Validate TTL property in createCollectionTask and alterCollectionTask
PreExecute to reject invalid values early
- Refactor datacoord compaction policies to use the new common functions
- Remove duplicated getCollectionTTL from datacoord/util.go
issue: #46716
<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai

- Core invariant: collection.ttl.seconds must be a parseable int64 and
validated at collection creation/alter time so malformed TTLs never
reach compaction/execution codepaths.
- Bug fix (resolves#46716): malformed/non-numeric TTLs could silently
cause compaction tasks to fail/stall; fixed by adding centralized
parsing helpers pkg/common.GetCollectionTTL and GetCollectionTTLFromMap
and validating TTL in createCollectionTask.PreExecute and
alterCollectionTask.PreExecute (calls with default -1 and return
parameter-invalid errors on parse failure).
- Simplification / removed redundancy: eliminated duplicated
getCollectionTTL in internal/datacoord/util.go and replaced ad-hoc TTL
parsing across datacoord (compaction policies, import_util, compaction
triggers) and proxy util with the common helpers, centralizing error
handling and defaulting logic.
- No data loss or behavior regression: valid TTL parsing semantics
unchanged (helpers use identical int64 parsing and default fallback from
paramtable/CommonCfg); validation occurs in PreExecute so existing valid
collections proceed unchanged while malformed values are rejected
early—compaction codepaths now receive only validated TTL values (or
explicit defaults), preventing silent skips without altering valid
execution flows.

- Core invariant: legacy in-cluster CDC/replication plumbing
(ReplicateMsg types, ReplicateID-based guards and flags) is obsolete —
the system relies on standard msgstream positions, subPos/end-ts
semantics and timetick ordering as the single source of truth for
message ordering and skipping, so replication-specific
channels/types/guards can be removed safely.
- Removed/simplified logic (what and why): removed replication feature
flags and params (ReplicateMsgChannel, TTMsgEnabled,
CollectionReplicateEnable), ReplicateMsg type and its tests, ReplicateID
constants/helpers and MergeProperties hooks, ReplicateConfig and its
propagation (streamPipeline, StreamConfig, dispatcher, target),
replicate-aware dispatcher/pipeline branches, and replicate-mode
pre-checks/timestamp-allocation in proxy tasks — these implemented a
redundant alternate “replicate-mode” pathway that duplicated
position/end-ts and timetick logic.
- Why this does NOT cause data loss or regression (concrete code paths):
no persistence or core write paths were removed — proxy PreExecute flows
(internal/proxy/task_*.go) still perform the same schema/ID/size
validations and then follow the normal non-replicate execution path;
dispatcher and pipeline continue to use position/subPos and
pullback/end-ts in Seek/grouping (pkg/mq/msgdispatcher/dispatcher.go,
internal/util/pipeline/stream_pipeline.go), so skipping and ordering
behavior remains unchanged; timetick emission in rootcoord
(sendMinDdlTsAsTt) is now ungated (no silent suppression), preserving or
increasing timetick delivery rather than removing it.
- PR type and net effect: Enhancement/Refactor — removes deprecated
replication API surface (types, helpers, config, tests) and replication
branches, simplifies public APIs and constructor signatures, and reduces
surface area for future maintenance while keeping DML/DDL persistence,
ordering, and seek semantics intact.

Related to #44761
Refactor proxy shard client management by creating a new
internal/proxy/shardclient package. This improves code organization and
modularity by:
- Moving load balancing logic (LookAsideBalancer, RoundRobinBalancer) to
shardclient package
- Extracting shard client manager and related interfaces into separate
package
- Relocating shard leader management and client lifecycle code
- Adding package documentation (README.md, OWNERS)
- Updating proxy code to use the new shardclient package interfaces
This change makes the shard client functionality more maintainable and
better encapsulated, reducing coupling in the proxy layer.

>- [x] M7 Support STL-SORT index for datatype timestamptz
---
The third PR of issue: https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/issues/27467,
which completes M5, M6, M7, M8 described above.
## M8 Default Timezone
We will be able to use alter_collection() and alter_database() in a
future Python SDK release to modify the default timezone at the
collection or database level.
For insert requests, the timezone will be resolved using the following
order of precedence: String Literal-> Collection Default -> Database
Default.
For retrieval requests, the timezone will be resolved in this order:
Query Parameters -> Collection Default -> Database Default.
In both cases, the final fallback timezone is UTC.
## M5: Comparison Operators
We can now use the following expression format to filter on the
timestamptz field:
- `timestamptz_field [+/- INTERVAL 'interval_string'] {comparison_op}
ISO 'iso_string' `
- The interval_string follows the ISO 8601 duration format, for example:
P1Y2M3DT1H2M3S.
- The iso_string follows the ISO 8601 timestamp format, for example:
2025-01-03T00:00:00+08:00.
- Example expressions: "tsz + INTERVAL 'P0D' != ISO
'2025-01-03T00:00:00+08:00'" or "tsz != ISO
'2025-01-03T00:00:00+08:00'".
## M6: Extract
We will be able to extract sepecific time filed by kwargs in a future
Python SDK release.
The key is `time_fields`, and value should be one or more of "year,
month, day, hour, minute, second, microsecond", seperated by comma or
space. Then the result of each record would be an array of int64.
## M7: Indexing Support
Expressions without interval arithmetic can be accelerated using an
STL-SORT index. However, expressions that include interval arithmetic
cannot be indexed. This is because the result of an interval calculation
depends on the specific timestamp value. For example, adding one month
to a date in February results in a different number of added days than
adding one month to a date in March.
---
After this PR, the input / output type of timestamptz would be iso
string. Timestampz would be stored as timestamptz data, which is int64_t
finally.

This PR supports create index for vector array (now, only for
`DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR`) and search on it.
The index type supported in this PR is `EMB_LIST_HNSW` and the metric
type is `MAX_SIM` only.
The way to use it:
```python
milvus_client = MilvusClient("xxx:19530")
schema = milvus_client.create_schema(enable_dynamic_field=True, auto_id=True)
...
struct_schema = milvus_client.create_struct_array_field_schema("struct_array_field")
...
struct_schema.add_field("struct_float_vec", DataType.ARRAY_OF_VECTOR, element_type=DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR, dim=128, max_capacity=1000)
...
schema.add_struct_array_field(struct_schema)
index_params = milvus_client.prepare_index_params()
index_params.add_index(field_name="struct_float_vec", index_type="EMB_LIST_HNSW", metric_type="MAX_SIM", index_params={"nlist": 128})
...
milvus_client.create_index(COLLECTION_NAME, schema=schema, index_params=index_params)
```
Note: This PR uses `Lims` to convey offsets of the vector array to
knowhere where vectors of multiple vector arrays are concatenated and we
need offsets to specify which vectors belong to which vector array.
