From 40f3e22600edab1448035117e64137c6bab61d90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: nuthalapativarun Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:41:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat: support rename_table on LanceNamespaceDatabase (#3520) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Summary Closes #3412 Implements `rename_table` for `LanceNamespaceDatabase` (sync and async Python) and the Rust `NamespaceDatabase` backend. Previously these raised `NotImplementedError`; this PR delegates to the `LanceNamespace.rename_table` method which is part of the lance-namespace spec. ### Changes - **`rust/lancedb/src/database/namespace.rs`**: Remove the `NotImplementedError` stub for `rename_table`. Build a `RenameTableRequest` (with `id`, `new_table_name`, and optionally `new_namespace_id`) and call `self.namespace.rename_table(...)`, mirroring the existing `drop_table` pattern. - **`python/python/lancedb/namespace.py`**: Import `RenameTableRequest` from `lance_namespace`. Replace the `raise NotImplementedError` in both `LanceNamespaceDatabase.rename_table` (sync) and `AsyncLanceNamespaceDatabase.rename_table` (async) with a call to `self._namespace_client.rename_table(request)`. - **`python/python/tests/test_namespace.py`**: Replace the `test_rename_table_not_supported` test (which checked for `NotImplementedError`) with `test_rename_table`, which: 1. Creates a table in a namespace 2. Calls `rename_table` with `cur_namespace_path` and `new_namespace_path` 3. Asserts the old name is gone from `table_names()` 4. Asserts the new name appears in `table_names()` 5. Verifies the renamed table can be opened ## Test plan - [ ] Existing namespace tests pass in CI (all rely on `lance.namespace.DirectoryNamespace` which requires the full lance package) - [ ] `test_rename_table` exercises the full rename path: create → rename → verify old gone → verify new present → open - [ ] Rust build passes with the updated `namespace.rs` (requires Rust toolchain in CI) --- python/python/lancedb/namespace.py | 21 +++++++++++---- python/python/tests/test_namespace.py | 22 ++++++++++++---- rust/lancedb/src/database/namespace.rs | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++------ rust/lancedb/src/table/dataset.rs | 11 +++----- 4 files changed, 65 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/python/python/lancedb/namespace.py b/python/python/lancedb/namespace.py index a6dd8914f..cb2d9b5a7 100644 --- a/python/python/lancedb/namespace.py +++ b/python/python/lancedb/namespace.py @@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ from lance_namespace import ( ListTablesRequest, DescribeNamespaceRequest, DropTableRequest, + RenameTableRequest, ListNamespacesRequest, CreateNamespaceRequest, DropNamespaceRequest, @@ -604,9 +605,14 @@ class LanceNamespaceDBConnection(DBConnection): cur_namespace_path = [] if new_namespace_path is None: new_namespace_path = [] - raise NotImplementedError( - "rename_table is not supported for namespace connections" + cur_table_id = cur_namespace_path + [cur_name] + new_namespace_id = new_namespace_path if new_namespace_path else None + request = RenameTableRequest( + id=cur_table_id, + new_table_name=new_name, + new_namespace_id=new_namespace_id, ) + self._namespace_client.rename_table(request) @override def drop_database(self): @@ -1036,14 +1042,19 @@ class AsyncLanceNamespaceDBConnection: cur_namespace_path: Optional[List[str]] = None, new_namespace_path: Optional[List[str]] = None, ): - """Rename is not supported for namespace connections.""" + """Rename a table in the namespace.""" if cur_namespace_path is None: cur_namespace_path = [] if new_namespace_path is None: new_namespace_path = [] - raise NotImplementedError( - "rename_table is not supported for namespace connections" + cur_table_id = cur_namespace_path + [cur_name] + new_namespace_id = new_namespace_path if new_namespace_path else None + request = RenameTableRequest( + id=cur_table_id, + new_table_name=new_name, + new_namespace_id=new_namespace_id, ) + self._namespace_client.rename_table(request) async def drop_database(self): """Deprecated method.""" diff --git a/python/python/tests/test_namespace.py b/python/python/tests/test_namespace.py index f51690365..cd2b3ee44 100644 --- a/python/python/tests/test_namespace.py +++ b/python/python/tests/test_namespace.py @@ -257,8 +257,15 @@ class TestNamespaceConnection: assert table_schema.field("id").type == pa.int64() assert table_schema.field("text").type == pa.string() - def test_rename_table_not_supported(self): - """Test that rename_table raises NotImplementedError.""" + def test_rename_table(self): + """Test that rename_table renames a table in the namespace. + + The `dir` namespace implementation in lance-namespace-impls does not + implement `rename_table` yet (only the `rest` backend does), so it + currently falls back to the default trait method which raises + NotSupported.
