Based on https://github.com/lancedb/lance/pull/4984
1. Bump to 1.0.0-beta.2
2. Use DirectoryNamespace in lance to perform all testing in python and
rust for much better coverage
3. Refactor `ListingDatabase` to be able to accept location and
namespace. This is because we have to leverage listing database (local
lancedb connection) for using namespace, namespace only resolves the
location and storage options but we don't want to bind all the way to
rust since user will plug-in namespace from python side. And thus
`ListingDatabase` needs to be able to accept location and namespace that
are created from namespace connection.
4. For credentials vending, we also pass storage options provider all
the way to rust layer, and the rust layer calls back to the python
function to fetch next storage option. This is exactly the same thing we
did in pylance.
`object_store` already hard codes `rustls` as the TLS implementation, so
we have been shipping a mix of `rustls` and `openssl`. For simplicity of
builds, we should consolidate to one, and that has to be `rustls`.
This changes `lancedb` from a "pure python" setuptools project to a
maturin project and adds a rust lancedb dependency.
The async python client is extremely minimal (only `connect` and
`Connection.table_names` are supported). The purpose of this PR is to
get the infrastructure in place for building out the rest of the async
client.
Although this is not technically a breaking change (no APIs are
changing) it is still a considerable change in the way the wheels are
built because they now include the native shared library.
