Note this currently the filter/where is only implemented for LocalTable
so that it requires an explicit cast to "enable" (see new unit test).
The alternative is to add it to the Table interface, but since it's not
available on RemoteTable this may cause some user experience issues.
Prior to this PR, to get a new version of a table, we need to re-open
the table. This has a few downsides w.r.t. performance:
* Object store is recreated, which takes time and throws away existing
warm connections
* Commit handler is thrown aways as well, which also may contain warm
connections
in #486 `connect` started converting path into uri. However, the PR
didn't handle relative path and appended `file://` to relative path.
This PR changes the parsing strat to be more rational. If a path is
provided instead of url, we do not try anythinng special.
engine and engine params may only be specified when a url with schema is
provided

# WARNING: specifying engine is NOT a publicly supported feature in
lancedb yet. THE API WILL CHANGE.
This PR exposes dynamodb based commit to `vectordb` and JS SDK (will do
python in another PR since it's on a different release track)
This PR also added aws integration test using `localstack`
## What?
This PR adds uri parameters to DB connection string. User may specify
`engine` in the connection string to let LanceDB know that the user
wants to use an external store when reading and writing a table. User
may also pass any parameters required by the commitStore in the
connection string, these parameters will be propagated to lance.
e.g.
```
vectordb.connect("s3://my-db-bucket?engine=ddb&ddbTableName=my-commit-table")
```
will automatically convert table path to
```
s3+ddb://my-db-bucket/my_table.lance?&ddbTableName=my-commit-table
```
This reverts commit 87e9a0250f.
I triggered the nodejs release commit GHA by mistake. Reverting it.
The tag will be removed manually.
