Proposed fix: [pymilvus ORM] ConnectionConfigException "Alias of 'default' already creating connections, but the configure is not the same as passed in."
Recommended action: connections.disconnect(alias) (and remove_connection) before reconnecting, or use a distinct alias per endpoint; with MilvusClient, create separate clients.
Option: Disconnect or use unique alias [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: ORM connections
Steps:
1. connections.disconnect("default")
2. connections.connect(alias="db2", uri=...)
Expected: New connection established
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
