## Legacy V2 migration
Tables created with the experimental V2 format in LanceDB Node 0.5.x can be
rewritten with the legacy PyLance reader. In a dedicated environment, install
LanceDB normally, then install the legacy reader without its obsolete PyArrow
upper bound and run the migration:
```shell
pip install lancedb
pip install --no-deps pylance==0.12.1
python -m lancedb.legacy_v2 <database-uri>
```

"""Migrate tables written with the incompatible experimental V2 format.
LanceDB Node 0.5.x could enable an experimental data format when an empty
table was created and data was added later. Those files panic older modern
readers and are rejected by newer readers. This utility streams them through
``pylance==0.12.1`` and rewrites them in a supported format.
Install the legacy reader in a dedicated environment before running this
function::
pip install lancedb
pip install --no-deps pylance==0.12.1
``--no-deps`` is required because the legacy wheel declares an obsolete
PyArrow upper bound. The migration uses only its dataset scanner and writes
through the current LanceDB package.
This migration is available only for local/OSS databases, including object
storage URIs. It is not supported for LanceDB Cloud ``db://`` connections.
In-place migration creates a new table version, so old data remains available
for recovery until old versions are cleaned up. Table indices are not copied
and should be rebuilt after migration.
Parameters
----------
uri : str
Source LanceDB database URI.
table_name : str, optional
Migrate only this table. By default, inspect every table.
destination_uri : str, optional
Write to another database. By default, migrate in place.
storage_format : str, default "2.0"
Data storage format for the rewritten tables. Use ``"0.1"`` for
compatibility with older LanceDB releases.
show_progress : bool, default True
Display progress bars while inspecting and migrating tables.
Returns
-------
list of str
Names of the migrated tables.
