[Enhancement]: pkg_resources is deprecated

[phi-friday]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

What would you like to be added?

pkg_resources is deprecated and can be replaced by importlib (which also has a backport importlib_resources, importlib_metadata).

Because pkg_resources is deprecated, a warning is raised every time you import the module.

  ***/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pymilvus/client/__init__.py:6: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
    from pkg_resources import DistributionNotFound, get_distribution

Why is this needed?

No response

Anything else?

❯ uv pip list | grep pymilvus
pymilvus                 2.4.15
❯ uv run python --version
Python 3.13.2

@phi-friday The warning is already fixed in pymilvus==2.5.x and pymilvus master branch. This might be release in 2.4.17, but the relase date is not decided yet.

@XuanYang-cn That's good to hear, changing the milvus version is currently not possible, so we'll wait for the next release. Thanks for your reply. I'll close the issue.
