From e4d0f9e2daf90164ff5bedbc6c41e9fcd9bfe07a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Ye Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:27:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat: return a cleanup job from drop_view (#4262) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Dropping a view unbinds its name and leaves the definition dataset to a server-side cleanup job, so the two are separate events a caller may want to wait on. `drop_view_async` returns that job — the same shape `drop_materialized_view_async` and `drop_function_async` already use: a `202` carries the job id, a `200` (nothing was bound to the name) yields an already-finished job with no id, and any other success status is an error rather than a silent no-op. ## `drop_view` waits `drop_view` now awaits the job before returning, so a caller who does not want to think about cleanup gets the stronger guarantee: when it returns, the definition really is deleted. That is deliberately **different** from `drop_materialized_view` and `drop_function`, which return as soon as the name is unbound and document that content may still be deleting. The view API is the newer one, and waiting is the semantic worth having; the other two are left alone rather than changing behaviour already released. ## Surfaces `Database` trait, the remote client, `Connection`, and the Python and Node bindings — matching where `drop_materialized_view_async` is already exposed. Four client tests cover the accepted case reporting its job id, the nothing-bound case reporting a finished job, a `202` without a usable `job_id`, and an unexpected success status. --- docs/src/js/classes/Connection.md | 29 ++++++++++- nodejs/__test__/remote.test.ts | 31 ++++++++++++ nodejs/lancedb/connection.ts | 18 ++++++- nodejs/src/connection.rs | 19 ++++++- python/python/lancedb/_lancedb.pyi | 3 ++ python/python/lancedb/db.py | 50 ++++++++++++++++-- python/python/lancedb/remote/db.py | 7 +++ python/src/connection.rs | 17 +++++++ python/src/runtime.rs | 11 ++-- rust/lancedb/src/connection.rs | 31 +++++++++++- rust/lancedb/src/database.rs | 9 +++- rust/lancedb/src/remote/db.rs | 81 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 12 files changed, 286 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/src/js/classes/Connection.md b/docs/src/js/classes/Connection.md index 75af5102e..a51fb986a 100644 --- a/docs/src/js/classes/Connection.md +++ b/docs/src/js/classes/Connection.md @@ -557,9 +557,10 @@ on the returned job to know when cleanup has finished. abstract dropView(name, namespacePath?): Promise ``` -Drop the view named `name`. +Drop the view named `name` and wait for its definition to be deleted. -The tables it reads are untouched: a view holds no rows of its own. +The tables it reads are untouched: a view holds no rows of its own.
