When does this happen?
IF QdrantVectorStore's _collection_exists method catches unexpected responses (HTTP 500, timeout) and returns False, causing recreate_collection to delete existing data.
How others solved it
THEN Fix _collection_exists to distinguish genuine non-existence (e.g., 404) from errors. Re-raise unexpected exceptions or use create_collection when collection status is uncertain to prevent data loss.
# Instead of broad exception catch, check response status
from qdrant_client.http.exceptions import UnexpectedResponse
try:
self._client.get_collection(collection_name)
except UnexpectedResponse as e:
if e.status_code == 404:
return False
raise
except ValueError:
return False
return TrueRelated patterns
