import com.aliyun.dashvector.common.DashVectorException;
import com.aliyun.dashvector.models.responses.Response;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws DashVectorException {
        DashVectorClient client = new DashVectorClient("<your-api-key>", "<your-cluster-endpoint>");
        DashVectorCollection collection = client.get("quickstart");

        // Delete the partition named "shoes"
        Response<Void> response = collection.deletePartition("shoes");

        // Verify the result
        if (response.isSuccess()) {
            System.out.println("Partition deleted successfully.");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Failed to delete partition: " + response.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
