feat(table): route merge_insert through the MemWAL LSM write path (#3354)
## Summary When an `LsmWriteSpec` is installed on a table (#3396), `merge_insert` upsert calls are dispatched through Lance's MemWAL `ShardWriter` (LSM-style append) instead of the standard merge path. - **`use_lsm_write`** — a `merge_insert` builder option, default `true`; set it `false` to use the standard path for a call even when a spec is set. - **`assume_pre_sharded`** — a `merge_insert` builder option, default `false`; skips the per-row shard check and routes by the first row only. - **`close_lsm_writers`** — drains and closes the table's cached MemWAL shard writers. - The `merge_insert` **`on`** columns default to, and are validated against, the table's unenforced primary key. - Shard writers are cached alongside the dataset (in `DatasetConsistencyWrapper`) and reused for the session. - `MergeResult` gains **`num_rows`** — on the LSM path the insert/update breakdown is unknown until compaction, so only the total is reported. Routing covers all three sharding strategies — bucket (murmur3, Iceberg-compatible), identity, and unsharded. Each `merge_insert` call targets a single shard; the whole input is collected and validated before a single atomic `ShardWriter::put`, so a validation failure leaves the MemWAL untouched. Bindings: Python (`merge_insert(...).use_lsm_write(...)` / `.assume_pre_sharded(...)`, `Table.close_lsm_writers`) and TypeScript (`mergeInsert(...).useLsmWrite(...)` / `.assumePreSharded(...)`, `Table.closeLsmWriters`). ## Context Reconstructed from the original #3354 branch onto current `main`: the branch predated the #3394 (unenforced primary key) / #3396 (`LsmWriteSpec`) split and has been rebuilt on that merged foundation. Depends on Lance `v7.0.0-beta.13`. The MemWAL read path (reading un-flushed shard data back into queries) and remote (LanceDB Cloud) LSM support are follow-ups. --------- Co-authored-by: Jack Ye <yezhaoqin@gmail.com>

### useLsmWrite()
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
useLsmWrite(useLsmWrite): MergeInsertBuilder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Controls whether the merge uses the MemWAL LSM write path.
|
||||
|
||||
By default (unset), a `mergeInsert` on a table with an LSM write spec is
|
||||
routed through Lance's MemWAL shard writer, and a table without one uses
|
||||
the standard path. Pass `false` to force the standard path even when a
|
||||
spec is set. Pass `true` to require a spec — `mergeInsert` rejects if none
|
||||
is installed.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
* **useLsmWrite**: `boolean`
|
||||
Whether to use the LSM write path.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Returns
|
||||
|
||||

### validateSingleShard()
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
validateSingleShard(validateSingleShard): MergeInsertBuilder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Controls how an LSM merge checks that its input targets a single shard.
|
||||
|
||||
When a table has an LSM write spec, every row in a `mergeInsert` call must
|
||||
route to the same shard. When `true` (the default), every row is inspected
|
||||
to verify this. When `false`, only the first row is inspected and the
|
||||
shard it routes to is used for the whole input — a faster path for callers
|
||||
that have already pre-sharded their input. Has no effect on tables without
|
||||
an LSM write spec.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
* **validateSingleShard**: `boolean`
|
||||
Whether to check every row routes to one shard. Defaults to `true`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Returns

||||
