How to update vector schema in collection with new vectors without having to recreate the collection from scratch

[cmohamma]

I'm looking to alter the vector schema of two of my collections by adding additional vectors. How can this be done without having to recreate the collection from scratch with the new vector schema?

I tried update_vectors but it appears it only works if the vector names are already part of the collection schema at creation time. So I'm not looking to update an existing vector, I want to add additional vectors (dense vectors).

When I try to just upsert (batch_update_points) I get the following error:
Wrong input: InvalidArgument: status: InvalidArgument, message: \"Wrong input: Not existing vector name error: "dense_vector_name"

My collection already has a few vectors, I'm looking to add a new one to the mix labeled 'dense_vector_name'.

This is not possible in our current release. While this definitely something we would like to have, it is currently not in our short term roadmap.
