)See Weaviate Multi-tenancy operations. Note that the mix of snake case(used by Ruby) and lower camel case(used by Weaviate) is intentional as that hash is passed directly to Weaviate.
All data methods in this library support an optional tenant argument which must be passed if multi-tenancy is enabled on the related collection
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
