What this PR does / why we need it:

This PR adds a self-contained tutorial that demonstrates how to use Milvus as the vector store backend for Feast.

The tutorial walks through:

  • Spinning up Milvus with Docker Compose
  • Generating embeddings using sentence-transformers
  • Storing vector features in Feast with the Milvus online store
  • Performing similarity search using the retrieve_online_documents_v2() API

This integration helps users who want to leverage semantic search or recommendation systems powered by Feast and Milvus.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

N/A (This is a new example, not tied to a specific issue)

Files Added:

  • milvus_example.py: Script demonstrating end-to-end usage
  • feature_store.yaml: Configuration pointing to Milvus and file store
  • docker-compose.yml: Milvus, etcd, and MinIO setup
  • README.md: Step-by-step guide to running the tutorial

Misc

  • Embeddings are generated using all-MiniLM-L6-v2
  • Uses Milvus 2.5.10 with L2 distance and FLAT index
  • Feedback welcome to refine the integration or extend to ANN indices
