Cause (Documented platform behavior): pymilvus validates each row value against the schema field dtype when packing field data.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Exact type labels vary per dtype; the message is a %-format template.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Insert fails with a type mismatch message naming the field, expected type label, and actual Python type (plus a Detail suffix for most types).
- Context
- Product: Milvus Component: Row packing (entity_helper) Operation: insert rows with values of wrong Python type Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: pymilvus.exceptions.DataNotMatchException Packages: pymilvus 2.x (main at pinned SHA) Trigger: Passing e.g. numpy scalars/str for numeric fields, None for non-nullable fields, strings for vectors, or ints where float is expected.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [pymilvus] "The Input data type is inconsistent with defined schema, {field} field should be a <type>, but got a {<class>} instead."
Recommended action: Cast values to the schema types (python float/int/str, list[float] for FLOAT_VECTOR); read the Detail suffix for the underlying conversion error.
Option: Cast row values to schema types [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Insert/upsert
Steps:
1. vec = [float(x) for x in emb]
2. id = int(i)
Expected: Insert succeeds
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
