Milvus services on watsonx.data SaaS on IBM Cloud do not seem to support the bulk_import() method

Previously, we switched over how we insert vectors into our collections to use do_bulk_load per the watsonx.data documentation. It looks like do_bulk_load is getting deprecated, and the recommended method is now bulk_import. We’re trying to switch over to this method since future versions of pymilvus won’t support do_bulk_load. It looks like bulk_import is a wrapper around the the Milvus import API. When I test the bulk_import method, I get the error MilvusException: <MilvusException: (code=1, message=Failed to post url: *********, error: ('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine('\x00\x00\x06\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x05\x00\x00@\x00')))>. I thought it was maybe because I was not putting the correct parameters and because it was a more complex method, so I wanted to test out a simple post request from Milvus documentation (below) to isolate the issue

export CLUSTER_ENDPOINT="https://b327abbe-256e-4010-b81b-f35f7e3fcb6f.cqh2jh8d00ae3kp0jmpg.lakehouse.appdomain.cloud:31672" export TOKEN="ibmlhapikey:{api_key}" curl --request POST \    --url "${CLUSTER_ENDPOINT}/v2/vectordb/collections/list" \    --header "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \    --header 'accept: application/json' \    --header 'content-type: application/json' \    -d '{        "dbName": "_default"    }'

And the same error is received. At this time, it seems that Milvus on watsonx.data does not support this new method for bulk import. This feature request would be to ensure this method is supported and update the documentation to move clients from the deprecated method to the new method for import.
