## Summary
- Add a `user_id` field to `ClientConfig` that allows users to identify
themselves to LanceDB Cloud/Enterprise
- The user_id is sent as the `x-lancedb-user-id` HTTP header in all
requests
- Supports three configuration methods:
- Direct assignment via `ClientConfig.user_id`
- Environment variable `LANCEDB_USER_ID`
- Indirect env var lookup via `LANCEDB_USER_ID_ENV_KEY`

1. Refactored every client (Rust core, Python, Node/TypeScript) so
“namespace” usage is explicit: code now keeps namespace paths
(namespace_path) separate from namespace clients (namespace_client).
Connections propagate the client, table creation routes through it, and
managed versioning defaults are resolved from namespace metadata. Python
gained LanceNamespaceDBConnection/async counterparts, and the
namespace-focused tests were rewritten to match the clarified API
surface.
2. Synchronized the workspace with Lance 5.0.0-beta.3 (see
https://github.com/lance-format/lance/pull/6186 for the upstream
namespace refactor), updating Cargo/uv lockfiles and ensuring all
bindings align with the new namespace semantics.
3. Added a namespace-backed code path to lancedb.connect() via new
keyword arguments (namespace_client_impl, namespace_client_properties,
plus the existing pushdown-ops flag). When those kwargs are supplied,
connect() delegates to connect_namespace, so users can opt into
namespace clients without changing APIs. (The async helper will gain
parity in a later change)
Fixes#2716
## Summary
Add support for querying with Float16Array, Float64Array, and Uint8Array
vectors in the Node.js SDK, eliminating precision loss from the previous
\Float32Array.from()\ conversion.
## Implementation
Follows @wjones127's [5-step
plan](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/2716#issuecomment-3447750543):
### Rust (\
odejs/src/query.rs\)
1. \ytes_to_arrow_array(data: Uint8Array, dtype: String)\ helper that:
- Creates an Arrow \Buffer\ from the raw bytes
- Wraps it in a typed \ScalarBuffer<T>\ based on the dtype enum
- Constructs a \PrimitiveArray\ and returns \Arc<dyn Array>\
2. \
earest_to_raw(data, dtype)\ and \dd_query_vector_raw(data, dtype)\ NAPI
methods that pass the type-erased array to the core \
earest_to\/\dd_query_vector\ which already accept \impl
IntoQueryVector\ for \Arc<dyn Array>\
### TypeScript (\
odejs/lancedb/query.ts\, \rrow.ts\)
3. Extended \IntoVector\ type to include \Uint8Array\ (and
\Float16Array\ via runtime check for Node 22+)
4. \xtractVectorBuffer()\ helper detects non-Float32 typed arrays and
extracts their underlying byte buffer + dtype string
5. \
earestTo()\ and \ddQueryVector()\ route through the raw NAPI path when
the input is Float16/Float64/Uint8
### Backward compatibility
Existing \Float32Array\ and \
umber[]\ inputs are unchanged -- they still use the original \
earest_to(Float32Array)\ NAPI method. The new raw path is only used when
a non-Float32 typed array is detected.
## Usage
\\\ ypescript
// Float16Array (Node 22+) -- no precision loss
const f16vec = new Float16Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3]);
const results = await
table.query().nearestTo(f16vec).limit(10).toArray();
// Float64Array -- no precision loss
const f64vec = new Float64Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3]);
const results = await
table.query().nearestTo(f64vec).limit(10).toArray();
// Uint8Array (binary embeddings)
const u8vec = new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1, 1, 0]);
const results = await
table.query().nearestTo(u8vec).limit(10).toArray();
// Existing usage unchanged
const results = await table.query().nearestTo([0.1, 0.2,
0.3]).limit(10).toArray();
\\\
## Note on dependencies
The Rust side uses \rrow_array\, \rrow_buffer\, and \half\ crates.
These should already be in the dependency tree via \lancedb\ core, but
\Cargo.toml\ may need explicit entries for \half\ and the arrow
sub-crates in the nodejs workspace.

## Problem
The generated Python API docs for
`lancedb.table.IndexStatistics.index_type` were misleading because
mkdocstrings renders that field’s type annotation directly, and the
existing `Literal[...]` listed only a subset of the actual canonical SDK
index type strings.
Current (missing index types):

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f6f29fe3-4c16-4d00-a4e9-28a7cd6e19ec"
/>
## Fix
- Update the `IndexStatistics.index_type` annotation in
`python/python/lancedb/table.py` to include the full supported set of
canonical values, so the generated docs show all valid index_type
strings inline.
- Add a small regression test in `python/python/tests/test_index.py` to
ensure the docs-facing annotation does not drift silently again in case
we add a new index/quantization type in the future.
- Bumps mkdocs and material theme versions to mkdocs 1.6 to allow access
to more features like hooks
After fix (all index types are included and tested for in the
annotations):

* Move away from buildjet, which is shutting down runners for GHA [^1]
* Add `Cargo.lock` to build jobs, so when we upgrade locked dependencies
we check the builds actually pass. CI started failing because
dependencies were changed in #3116 without running all build jobs.
* Add fixes for aws-lc-rs build in NodeJS.

Add support for passing field/data type information into add_columns()
method, bringing parity with Python bindings. The method now accepts:
- AddColumnsSql[] - SQL expressions (existing functionality)
- Field - single Arrow field with explicit data type
- Field[] - array of Arrow fields with explicit data types
- Schema - Arrow schema with explicit data types
New columns added via Field/Schema are initialized with null values. All
field-based columns must be nullable due to null initialization.
Resolves#3107

Regenerate TypeScript docs to include the new initialStorageOptions()
and latestStorageOptions() methods added in #2966.

## Summary
This PR changes takeRowIds to accept bigint[] instead of
number[], matching the type of _rowid returned by withRowId().
## Problem
When retrieving row IDs using \withRowId()\ and querying them back with
takeRowIds(), users get an error because:
1. _rowid values are returned as JavaScript bigint
2. takeRowIds() expected number[]
3. NAPI failed to convert: Error: Failed to convert napi value BigInt
into rust type i64
## Reproduction
\\\js
import lancedb from '@lancedb/lancedb';
const db = await lancedb.connect('memory://');
const table = await db.createTable('test', [{ id: 1, vector: [1.0, 2.0]
}]);
const results = await table.query().withRowId().toArray();
const rowIds = results.map(row => row._rowid);
console.log('types:', rowIds.map(id => typeof id)); // ['bigint']
await table.takeRowIds(rowIds).toArray(); // ⌠Error before fix
\\\
## Solution
- Updated TypeScript signature from takeRowIds(rowIds: number[]) to
takeRowIds(rowIds: bigint[])
- Updated Rust NAPI binding to accept Vec<BigInt> and convert using
get_u64()
Fixes#2722
