+### Opening a Table with Vended Credentials
+
+When the catalog vends temporary object store credentials, open the table through the
+namespace client. The Lance dataset builder fetches the table location and storage options
+from the catalog and refreshes the credentials when they expire.
+
+```java
+import com.lancedb.LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder;
+import org.lance.Dataset;
+import org.lance.namespace.LanceNamespace;
+
+import java.util.Arrays;
+
+LanceNamespace namespaceClient = LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder.newBuilder()
+    .apiKey(System.getenv("LANCEDB_API_KEY"))
+    .database(System.getenv("LANCEDB_DATABASE"))
+    // Set the endpoint for a LanceDB Enterprise deployment.
+    // .endpoint("https://your-enterprise-endpoint")
+    .build();
+
+try (Dataset dataset = Dataset.open()
+        .namespaceClient(namespaceClient)
+        .tableId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"))
+        .build()) {
+    System.out.println("Rows: " + dataset.countRows());
+}
+```
+
+Do not call `describeTable()` and then open the returned location with `Dataset.open(uri)`.
+Opening through `namespaceClient()` is what applies the vended storage options and enables
+automatic credential refresh. No object store credentials need to be passed by the application.

+
+Converge this table's LSM write path into its base table.
+
+Seals once, then triggers compaction and polls until the L0 that existed
+at the start is gone. The target set is fixed at the start, so
+generations created *during* the checkpoint are ignored — that is what
+lets it terminate under write load, and what makes it best-effort: it
+converges the fresh tier as of some instant. Idempotent, abandonable at
+any point, and safe to run on a cadence.
+
+There is no liveness bound — the compactor pool is shared across tables,
+so a checkpoint queued behind unrelated work looks exactly like one that
+is merging. The caller owns the deadline.
