Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`index_name`	`str`	Name of the index to load.
`index_key`	`bytes`	32-byte encryption key; must match the key used during `create_index()`.
`max_cache_size`	`int`	(Optional) Maximum size of local cache to keep for encrypted index. Defaults to `0`.

Example Usage

import cyborgdb_core as cyborgdb

index_location = cyborgdb.DBConfig(location='redis', connection_string="redis://localhost")
config_location = cyborgdb.DBConfig(location='redis', connection_string="redis://localhost")

client = cyborgdb.Client(index_location=index_location, config_location=config_location)

index_name = "my_index"
index_key = my_index_key  # Use the same 32-byte encryption key used during index creation

# Optional: Set up logging
logger = cyborgdb.Logger.instance()
logger.configure(level="debug", to_file=True, file_path="index_loading.log")

# Load the existing index with logging enabled
index = client.load_index(
    index_name=index_name, 
    index_key=index_key,
    logger=logger
)
