lancedb now holds a page at every path the site publishes, including the twelve
Enterprise ones. Those are real open-source pages -- what the capability is, and
what the embedded form does instead -- rather than blank placeholders, so the
open-source site is complete on its own. sophon becomes an overlay whose page
replaces the one at the same path, which means navigation lives in one place and
the two repositories only have to agree on a path.
That removes the whole class of problem where a page could only be reached from
one of the two trees. The open-source site went from twenty-four dangling
Enterprise links to one, and that one points at the dataset pages the build
repository owns.
Ports four changes that landed on the docs repository after this branch left it:
#344 indexing and quantization rewritten
#354 LeRobot native reader
#361 training/index renamed to training/data-loading and rewritten
#362 distance metric mismatch falls back to a brute-force scan
None applied as patches, because these files were merged or split here --
quantization into the vector index page, multi-vector into vector search,
performance into four pages. Each was ported by taking the upstream page and
re-applying the restructure on top, which also picked up a correction that would
otherwise have been lost: the stricter brute-force threshold for multi-vector
columns is a Cloud limit, not an Enterprise one.
The upstream LeRobot page linked to a Geneva page that no longer exists; it now
points at the feature-engineering pages that replaced it.
SELECT and Enterprise SQL sat apart in Query while documenting the same engine.
They are now one SQL group: overview, Select, Aggregation, Join, Window,
Sampling, Functions -- one page per construct, with the Enterprise client-setup
and FTS pages merged in rather than parallel to them.
Sampling is new. TABLESAMPLE is implemented and was undocumented: BERNOULLI
picks rows, SYSTEM picks Lance fragments, REPEATABLE fixes the draw so a sample
works as a stable evaluation set. Its refusals are documented too -- a
percentage over 100, a fractional row count, BUCKET, the SAMPLE spelling and
the OFFSET modifier are all errors, because a sampling clause that were read and
not applied would be a wrong answer rather than a missing feature.
Schema & Data Types is one page again, with the multimodal content merged into
its blob section rather than sitting beside it.
Agentic Skills stops being a tab. Both its pages are tutorials, so they join the
Tutorials tab; the Basics page that introduces them stays.
