adenzhou1350 a12aef2a8c fix: return a Python error when querying a closed table (#4455)
`AsyncTable.query()` unwraps the native closed-table error, so querying
a closed table raises `PanicException` instead of the documented
`RuntimeError`. `AsyncTable.head()` reaches the same path.

Propagate `inner_ref()`'s error through `PyResult` instead. Add
regressions for closed `query()` and `head()`, with `count_rows()`,
repeated close, and normal open-table queries as controls.

Validation against separately built native bindings:

- Before: 2 regression failures (`PanicException`), 2 controls passed.
- After: all 4 regressions passed.
- Existing query tests plus the basic database test: 102 passed, 1
skipped on each arm (Torch is not installed).
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`, Ruff, and `git diff --check` passed.

The native build used the locked Cargo dependencies with
`remote,lancedb/metrics-otel,pyo3/extension-module`. This is source-tree
native testing, not a complete wheel-packaging or cloud-service test.

adenzhou1350 b9ef048abb fix: validate Python read consistency intervals (#4454)
Negative `read_consistency_interval` values currently reach Rust's
panicking `Duration::from_secs_f64` conversion. For example:

```python
from datetime import timedelta
import lancedb

lancedb.connect("./db", read_consistency_interval=timedelta(seconds=-1))
```

Validate the interval with `Duration::try_from_secs_f64` at the three
native connection entry points and return `ValueError` before
constructing the connection or async future. `None`, zero and positive
intervals retain their behavior. The raw native binding also rejects
NaN, infinity and overflow; the public Python API still accepts
`timedelta`, not floats.

Tests cover public sync/async connections, native namespace connections,
real Python namespace clients, the three raw binding entry points and
valid-value controls.

Validation on Python 3.12 / Rust 1.97:

- Same 26 regression cases against separately built native baseline and
candidate: baseline 22 failed / 4 passed; candidate 26 passed.
- Existing basic connection and background-loop regression tests pass.
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`, Ruff check/format and `git diff --check`
pass.

The native builds used the unchanged repository `ci` profile and
Cargo.lock with `--no-default-features --features
remote,lancedb/metrics-otel,pyo3/extension-module`. Python runtime and
focused test dependency versions came from `python/uv.lock`. Source-tree
tests used a minimal distribution-version metadata fixture derived from
the unchanged Cargo/pyproject manifests; both imported module origins
and native versions were checked in fresh processes. This is not a
complete Maturin packaging, cloud backend or full Python suite result.
No GPU was used.

LeonSGP 92ada619d2 fix(python): preserve metadata during vector schema inference (#4451)
Creating a table from an Arrow `list` or `large_list` vector field
infers a fixed-size vector type, but currently drops that field's
metadata. Descriptions and tags such as `lancedb:description` and
`lancedb:tag:model` disappear even though the input field carries them.

Preserve the original field metadata while replacing its inferred type.
Tests use public synchronous and asynchronous table creation, reopening,
and reads for floating-point and integer inference, checking the
complete schema and row values. Existing dtype inference and nullability
remain unchanged.

Validation on macOS arm64 with an official native extension built from
main `d864e719` using Rust 1.97.0:

- Python 3.11.14 and 3.13.11: full `pytest -m "not slow and not s3_test"
-q -rs python/tests`: **1,533 passed, 37 skipped, 68 deselected** each,
wall times 331.464 s and 416.308 s.
- Added public SDK cases on unchanged main: **12 failed**; after the
fix: **12 passed** on each runtime. Final installed distributions passed
**8 public SDK round trips** each, including fixed-size fields and
fields without metadata.
- Documentation tests on Python 3.11.14: **77 passed, 6 skipped**. Ruff
lint/format, Pyright (**0 errors**), applicable pre-commit hooks (**4
passed, 2 without matching files**), compile checks and `git diff
--check` passed.
- Comparable unchanged-main full baselines from the same day, native
extension and dependency versions: **1,521 passed, 37 skipped, 68
deselected** on each runtime. These were reused rather than rerun.

The final local wheel is an explicitly verified repack of the official
main wheel, replacing only `table.py` and `RECORD`; all production
Python files match the tested source and the native extension is
unchanged. No candidate Rust rebuild was performed. Slow/S3 integration
tests, the remaining OS/runtime and minimum-dependency matrices, and the
workflow's Linux/Python 3.13 doctest job were not run locally.

The existing Rust migration draft #2970 and issues #3216/#3222 do not
fix this metadata loss in the current Python path; a future migration
should preserve the same metadata. During final verification main
advanced to `81d52a98` through #4373 and the beta.13 version bump.
Neither modified the two files here; the local native and full-suite
validation above remain explicitly based on `d864e719`, and the updated
native changes have not been tested locally.

LeonSGP fcd26c425a fix(python): preserve integer Vector and MultiVector values (#4450)
When `Vector` or `MultiVector` declares an integer Arrow value type,
Pydantic currently validates every element as a float. This silently
rounds integers above `2**53`, and converts `uint64`'s maximum value
into an out-of-range float before table insertion.

Use Pydantic's integer schema for integer Arrow value types in both
validators. Floating-point types retain the existing validation. Tests
exercise model serialization and real local table creation, insertion,
and reads for signed and unsigned integer boundaries and floating-point
controls, plus dimensions and optional/nullability behavior. Fractional
floats are rejected for integer declarations; integral floats remain
accepted. This does not extend ANN index support.

Validation on macOS arm64, with the current main native extension built
using Rust 1.97.0:

- Python 3.11.14 and 3.13.11, Pydantic 2.13.5: full `pytest -m "not slow
and not s3_test" -q python/tests` suite: **1,537 passed, 37 skipped, 68
deselected** on each runtime. Comparable unchanged-main baselines:
**1,521 passed, 37 skipped, 68 deselected** each.
- Added cases on unchanged main: **8 failed, 8 passed**; complete
`test_pydantic.py` after the fix: **40 passed** on each runtime.
- Documentation tests with the existing embeddings dependencies in an
isolated environment, Python 3.11.14: **77 passed, 6 skipped**, matching
the unchanged-main baseline. The workflow's Linux/Python 3.13 doctest
matrix was not reproduced locally.
- Repository Ruff lint/format, Pyright, all applicable pre-commit hooks,
compile checks, and `git diff --check` passed. Eight public SDK table
round trips passed on each final installed wheel runtime.

Slow, credential-dependent S3 integration tests, the remaining
OS/runtime matrix, and the minimum Pydantic/PyArrow dependency matrix
were not run locally. The native extension was built from unchanged
current main; the final local wheel repack contains the verified Python
change with that identical native extension. A separate candidate
maturin packaging attempt triggered Rust recompilation and was stopped,
so an official candidate distribution build was not completed. The
project requires Pydantic `>=2.7.4,<3`; Pydantic v1 support was removed
in #3990.

LeonSGP 1e313d3c0d fix(python): parse decimal exponent literals exactly (#4449)
Decimal literals such as Decimal("1E-7") and Decimal("1E+3") currently
raise ValueError while building an expression. Parse the coefficient and
exponent exactly, and normalize representable negative scales to zero so
both typed filters and predicate.to_sql() queries preserve the value.
Checked arithmetic bounds the Decimal128 coefficient to 38 digits,
preserves existing scale limits, and rejects nonfinite or overflowing
values. This does not add Decimal256 literal support.

Added 21 cases covering actual Arrow-backed table queries, SQL queries,
zero, signed exponents, precision boundaries, and errors. Both Python
3.11 and 3.13 expression suites pass 123 tests; the baseline fails 10 of
the new cases. Python binding Rust tests pass 13; official make doctest
passes 77 with 6 skips; Ruff, Rustfmt, hooks, Pyright and
workspace/tests/all-features Clippy with -D warnings pass. A fresh
environment restored from the original dependency freeze passes the full
required suite: 1528 passed, 37 skipped, 68 deselected (143.51s); while
optional Torch suites have the same baseline remote mock-server ordering
failure.

Tested against f4544628; observed official main d864e719 contains one
Catalog API commit without expr or Cargo.lock changes. AI assistance:
gpt-6.1-sol assisted implementation and local validation; all reported
checks were actually executed.

Mohammad Hijjawi 712a8b8699 fix(python): write plain Enum fields of a LanceModel as their values (#4357)
Since #3232, `pydantic_to_schema` maps an `Enum` field to the Arrow type
of its values, including enums without a `str`/`int` mixin. Writing such
models still failed: `model_to_dict()` returns `model.model_dump()`,
which keeps the Enum members, and Arrow can only convert members that
are also `str`/`int` instances.

```python
class Color(Enum):
    RED = "red"

class Item(LanceModel):
    color: Color

tbl = db.create_table("items", schema=Item)
tbl.add([Item(color=Color.RED)])
# pyarrow.lib.ArrowTypeError: Expected bytes, got a 'Color' object
```

`create_table(data=[...])` fails the same way, and int-valued enums
raise `ArrowInvalid`.

`model_to_dict()` now replaces Enum members with their values, including
in nested models and lists. Lists of plain scalars (vectors in
particular) are returned without being walked, so the per-row cost stays
about the same as `model_dump()` alone (21.3µs vs 20.3µs for a 1536-dim
model). Reading back is unchanged: Pydantic already validates the stored
value into the Enum member.

Added `test_plain_enum_values_are_written`, which covers str and int
valued enums, `Optional` and `List` fields, and an Enum inside a nested
model, and checks that `to_pydantic` round-trips the rows. It fails with
the `ArrowTypeError` above before the change. `test_pydantic.py`,
`test_embeddings.py`, `test_table.py` and `test_db.py` pass, and `ruff
format --check` / `ruff check` are clean.

Mohammad Hijjawi 5f9a8af27c fix(python): keep embedding functions registered without an alias readable (#4356)
`EmbeddingFunctionRegistry.register()` documents that the class name is
used when no alias is given, and it does register the class under that
name. But it stored the alias itself (`None`) as
`__embedding_function_registry_alias__`, which is what
`function_to_metadata()` writes into the table schema. A table using
such a function gets `"name": null` in its `embedding_functions`
metadata, and any later read of the functions fails:

```python
@get_registry().register()
class MyEmbed(TextEmbeddingFunction): ...

f = MyEmbed.create()
class Schema(LanceModel):
    text: str = f.SourceField()
    vector: Vector(4) = f.VectorField()

tbl = db.create_table("t", schema=Schema)
tbl.add([{"text": "hi"}])   # KeyError: None
tbl.search("hi")            # KeyError: None
```

This stores the key the class is registered under instead, so the class
name round-trips. For aliased classes the key is the alias, so their
metadata is unchanged. The TypeScript registry already falls back to
`ctor.name` in the same way.

Added `test_embedding_function_registered_without_alias`, which creates
a table with such a function, reopens it, and adds a row. It fails with
`KeyError` before the change. `test_embeddings.py`, `test_pydantic.py`,
`test_table.py` and `test_db.py` pass, and `ruff format --check` / `ruff
check` are clean.

Mohammad HijjawiandXuanwo a0946282ca fix(python): return original scores from hybrid search with normalize="rank" (#4343)
## Summary

With `rerank(..., normalize="rank")`, a hybrid query returns ranks (1.0,
2.0, 3.0, ...) in the `_distance` and `_score` columns instead of the
real vector distances and BM25 scores.

`_combine_hybrid_results` converted both result sets to ranks first, and
only then captured `original_distances` / `original_scores`. So the step
that restores the original values after reranking put the ranks back.
With `normalize="score"`, the real values are returned as expected.

Repro (RRFReranker(return_score="all"), vector distances 0 / 25 / 100):

| normalize | `_distance` returned | `_score` returned |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `"score"` | 0.0, 25.0, 100.0 | 0.47, 0.67, None |
| `"rank"` (before) | 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 | 1.0, 2.0, None |
| `"rank"` (after) | 0.0, 25.0, 100.0 | 0.47, 0.67, None |

## Changes

- Capture the original `_distance` / `_score` columns before converting
them to ranks, then normalize the ranked column. The reranker input is
unchanged; only the values restored afterwards are fixed.
`AsyncHybridQuery` uses the same function, so both sync and async are
covered.

## Test plan

- [x] New `test_hybrid_return_all_restores_original_scores` in
`test_rerankers.py`, parametrized over `score` / `rank`: the `rank` case
fails before the fix and passes after
- [x] `pytest python/tests/test_rerankers.py
python/tests/test_hybrid_query.py`
- [x] `ruff format --check` / `ruff check`

I have no local Rust toolchain, so I ran the tests against the released
0.39.0 native module with the changed Python files overlaid. The changed
functions are identical between 0.39.0 and main.

Xuanwo 62d83f2ea2 fix(python): expect oidc credential-type header on refreshed tokens (#4632)
## Summary

#3971 added `test_zero_lifetime_token_is_refreshed`, but its expected
headers omit `x-lancedb-credential-type: oidc`, which
`OAuthProvider.get_headers()` has emitted since #2631/#4070. The test
fails against current main and breaks the PR CI matrix for every open
PR.

## Changes

- Align the two zap assertions in
`test_zero_lifetime_token_is_refreshed` with the provider contract (see
`test_token_refresh` and `test_sync_method`).

## Tests

- `pytest python/tests/test_header_provider.py -q`

Yingzi Zhang 55897d7c3b fix(python): preserve Arrow schema when merging reranker scores (#4332)
Fixes #4331

With `return_score="all"`, model rerankers reconstruct merged rows
without their Arrow schema. This changes fixed-size float32 vectors into
variable-length float64 lists, loses metadata, and can overflow valid
uint64 row IDs.

Unify the original input schemas before inserting placeholder scores,
then use the unified schema when reconstructing the merged table. Row
merging and reranking behavior stay the same. Capturing the schema first
also preserves float64 scores without conflicting with the float32 null
placeholders.

Validation:
- New regression cases: 5 failures and 5 passing controls before the
fix; all 10 pass afterward.
- Reranker, hybrid-query and TypeSafe reranker tests: 150 passed, 17
skipped. Optional live model/API tests were not run.
- The fake-client tests that use random metadata passed again with seeds
7 and 41.
- Repository-wide Ruff lint/format checks, configured Pyright check and
applicable pre-commit hooks pass.
- Tests used the locally built Rust/Python extension and the
repository's locked uv environment. No Rust code changed.

AI disclosure: I used Codex for investigation, implementation, tests,
local checks, and drafting this description.

lancedb-gatefixer[bot] 624defd109 fix: preserve sliced child validity during struct merge (#4261)
## Root cause

The pinned Lance Arrow crate rebuilt a sliced struct child with its
original Arrow offset but supplied a validity bitmap containing only the
visible rows. Arrow requires the bitmap to cover the offset as well, so
filtered vector searches involving nullable nested fields could panic
with `null_bit_buffer size too small`.

## Fix

- Carry an offset-aligned validity bitmap when propagating parent nulls
to a sliced child.
- Vendor the pinned `lance-arrow` crate until a Lance release includes
the fix; include it in Maturin source distributions.
- Add unit regressions for sliced children and parent bitmaps, plus a
record-batch merge regression.

## Validation

- The issue's 8,600-row Python reproducer completes its filtered flat
dot search and returns 8,448 rows without a panic.
- The targeted Rust merge regression and two focused Python query tests
pass.
- Rust formatting, Ruff formatting and lint, the vendored crate tests,
and the workspace Cargo checks passed. The Maturin source archive
includes the patched crate.

Fixes #4260

lancedb-gatefixer[bot] 66b5b5bbdc fix(python): clarify unavailable CUDA index acceleration (#4249)
## Summary

- preflight CUDA availability and initialization before accelerated
index training
- direct unavailable or misconfigured CUDA environments to the explicit
CPU path
- cover both legacy and unified Python index APIs

## Root cause

LanceDB delegated accelerator requests directly to PyLance. When PyTorch
lacked CUDA support or CUDA initialization failed, users received a
low-level assertion or runtime error with no indication that omitting
`accelerator` or setting `accelerator=None` creates the index on CPU.
The repair validates CUDA before training and preserves explicit
accelerator semantics without silently changing the requested backend.

## Scope

This PR addresses only the separately reproduced CUDA availability and
initialization error. It does not close #1766; the reported query
failure after successful CUDA index creation remains open pending
reproducible evidence.

## Validation

- `uv run --extra tests pytest python/tests/test_table.py -k
create_index -q` (10 passed)
- `ruff format .`
- `ruff check .`
- CPU-only integration check confirms the actionable fallback message

Madan Kumar 0c3a1c92c8 fix(python): don't crash inferring schema for an all-null vector column (#4034)
Fixes #4033

`create_table(data=...)` without an explicit schema raised `IndexError:
index out of bounds` when a `vector`/`embedding`-named list column was
all-null. `_modal_list_size` infers the dimension with
`pc.mode(pc.list_value_length(arr))[0]`, and pyarrow's `mode` skips
nulls, so an all-null column produces a zero-length result and the `[0]`
subscript blows up.

The sibling `_infer_vector_dim` already guards the identical
`pc.mode(...)` with a `len == 0` check and returns `None`;
`_modal_list_size` just didn't. This makes `_modal_list_size` return
`Optional[int]` and return `None` when every value is null, and the call
site then leaves the column as a variable-length list instead of
inventing a fixed size — the dimension is genuinely unknowable when
there are no non-null rows.

Added a regression test that creates a table from an all-null
`list<float32>` vector column and asserts it succeeds, the column stays
a `list<float32>`, and the rows are queryable. It fails on `main` with
the `IndexError` and passes with this change.

Zhewen TanandXuanwo 6d92307fc3 fix(python): accept tuple and Arrow vector queries (#3972)
## Summary

Sync `Table.search()` declares tuple, `pyarrow.Array`, and
`pyarrow.ChunkedArray` query vectors as supported, and the async query
path already accepts them. The sync query builder only classified lists
and NumPy arrays as vectors, however, so these inputs were routed
through embedding/FTS resolution and then rejected. Arrow and tuple
inputs also did not contribute a query dimension when selecting among
multiple vector columns.

This change:

- recognizes the supported tuple and Arrow containers as sync vector
queries for both `auto` and explicit `vector` query types;
- converts them to the existing internal `float32` NumPy representation
at the sync builder boundary;
- infers dimensions from tuple, primitive Arrow, and list-valued Arrow
queries so schemas with differently sized vector columns select the
matching column.

The regression test uses two vector columns with dimensions 2 and 3. It
verifies tuple, Arrow array, and chunked Arrow queries through both sync
query modes and confirms the dimension-2 column is selected.

## Test plan

- `pytest
python/tests/test_table.py::test_sync_search_accepts_supported_vector_containers

- `pytest python/tests/test_util.py python/tests/test_query.py

lancedb-gatefixer[bot] 40af9f350e fix(python): avoid deadlock for query-backed iterators (#3820)
## Summary

- move synchronous iterator preparation off LanceDB's singleton
background event loop
- keep the loop available when an input iterator executes a synchronous
table query
- cover query-backed iterators for both `Table.add` and `create_table`

## Root cause

The async implementations prepared input data on the singleton
background loop and peeked at the first item of iterators there. If that
iterator called a synchronous LanceDB query, `LOOP.run()` scheduled the
query on the same loop and blocked waiting for it, so neither operation
could progress.

## Validation

- `ruff format` on the changed Python files
- `ruff check .`
- `cd python && uv run --frozen --extra tests pytest
python/tests/test_table.py -q` (138 passed)
- the broader non-slow suite was attempted but hit a native segmentation
fault in the external DataFusion `register_table_provider` path; an
isolated control using the pre-change inline preparation behavior
reproduced the same unrelated crash

lancedb-gatefixer[bot] 102518ebda fix(python): preserve nested fields in filtered scans (#3816)
## Summary

- add a Python regression for filtered scans over deeply nested
list/struct values
- verify the public query path returns every nested sibling field
without an Arrow schema mismatch

## Root cause

Older Lance scanner code split filter projections into partial nested
arrays and did not recursively merge List<Struct> children, so a sibling
field could be omitted from the returned array while remaining in the
declared schema. That merge was fixed upstream in
lance-format/lance#4838, and the Lance revision currently pinned by
LanceDB contains that fix. This test makes the repair durable at the

lancedb-gatefixer[bot] a98667749d fix(python): verify Lance-created IVF_RQ compatibility (#3793)
## Summary

- add regression coverage for an IVF_RQ index created through the Lance
Python API and consumed through LanceDB
- verify a fresh LanceDB handle can list and query the
externally-created index

## Root cause

Lance 4.0.0-beta.5 could serialize `rotate_mat_position` as null, while
the Lance 2.0.0 reader used by LanceDB 0.29.2 required a `u32`. Upstream
Lance fixed the incompatible IVF_RQ metadata handling and index
versioning, and the current LanceDB dependency includes that repair.
LanceDB was missing coverage for the reported mixed-API workflow,
allowing the compatibility regression to go undetected.

## Validation

- `cd python && uv run --extra tests pytest python/tests/test_index.py
-q` (24 passed)
- `uv run --project python --extra dev ruff format .`
- `uv run --project python --extra dev ruff check .`
- `uv run --project python --extra dev ruff format --check

- `uv run --project python --extra dev ruff check

Jack Ye f9680806c9 feat(python): expose materialized view auto-refresh creation options (#4621)
Expose optional `auto_refresh_enabled` and
`auto_refresh_interval_seconds` when creating materialized views from
Python and Rust. Omitted intervals remain unset: the server determines
when to refresh.

```python
view = db.create_materialized_view(
    "recent_orders", "orders",
    auto_refresh_enabled=True,
    auto_refresh_interval_seconds=300,
)
```

## Architecture and workflow

- Python synchronous, asynchronous, job-returning and namespace wrappers
forward both optional values through PyO3 to the Rust creation builder.
Both default to `None`; no client interval is selected.
- Remote creation calls `POST /v1/materialized_view/{id}/create` with
the defining query and only the supplied refresh properties. A `202
Accepted` response must contain a job ID. Existing job tracking waits
for the server's ordinary SQL CREATE job before synchronous creation
opens the view.
- The server validates and authorizes the CREATE, then uses the existing
SQL worker to populate the view and persist its refresh settings. The
Lance agent subsequently uses those settings to submit REFRESH SQL jobs.
- Explicit positive finite fractional seconds are preserved. An interval
alone does not enable refresh. Embedded connections retain manual
refresh, accept explicit disabled state, and reject requests for
automatic scheduling rather than ignore them.

Includes API documentation and coverage for omission, false,
fractional/invalid intervals, namespace forwarding, server job IDs and
invalid acceptance responses.

Requires the server REST-create endpoint to be deployed before SDK
release. Existing remote `with_no_data=True` remains unsupported.

Jack Ye 1564ec10c8 feat: add Bootstrap split strategy for sampling with replacement (#4597)
## Context

`StreamingDataset`'s shipped split strategies (`split_random`,
`split_sequential`, `split_hash`, `split_calculated`) all share one
trait: every row in the base table is assigned to exactly one split,
exactly once. They only differ in *how* that one-to-one assignment is
chosen -- none of them can express "give me a resampled stream of N
rows, allowing repeats."

That's a distinct, common need in ML training: **the bootstrap** -- the
statistical technique (Efron, 1979) of estimating a dataset's properties
by resampling it *with replacement*. It's the same sense scikit-learn's
bagging classifiers mean by `bootstrap=True`. `SplitStrategy::Bootstrap`
adds exactly this to the data loader: sample rows uniformly with
replacement from the (optionally filtered) base table, independently per
split.

## Main use cases

- **Bagging / ensemble training** (e.g. random forests): each split
trains on an independent bootstrap resample of the training set.
- **Oversampling a rare class**: filter to the minority class, then
sample it up to whatever count balances it against the majority, instead
of exhausting its small set once per epoch.
- **Fixed-size training steps independent of dataset size**: want
exactly N batches per epoch regardless of whether the table has 50 rows
or 50 million? Set `num_samples` directly instead of it being implicitly
`len(dataset)`.
- **Weighted sampling without a weight column**: filter to "eligible"
rows (e.g. a windowed-sampling workload filtering to valid window-start
positions), then bootstrap the filtered set -- an item with more
eligible rows is naturally drawn proportionally more often, with no
explicit per-row weight needed.

## Example (an actual run, not a hypothetical one)

A 5-row base table (`row_id` 0..4), sampled via `Bootstrap {
num_samples: 8, sizes: Fixed(2), seed: Some(42) }`:

```
row_id  split_id
     0         0
     2         0
     4         0
     4         0      <- row 4 repeated within split 0
     4         1      <- row 4 also drawn in split 1 (independent draw)
     4         1
     1         1
     2         1
```

8 output rows from a 5-row table -- not 5. Row 4 drawn 4 times total,
row 3 never drawn. That's with-replacement sampling actually behaving
like with-replacement sampling, not an even round-robin dressed up with
a new name.

## What changed

Adds `SplitStrategy::Bootstrap` (uniform sampling with replacement,
optionally filtered, independently seeded per split -- a given split's
content doesn't depend on how many other splits there are, the same
elastic-determinism property documented for the loader's other
strategies). No new `PermutationBuilder` Rust method was needed:
`with_split_strategy` already accepts any `SplitStrategy` value
generically. Python binding:
`PermutationBuilder.bootstrap_sample(num_samples, *, ratios=None,
counts=None, fixed=None, seed=None, split_names=None)`, mirroring
`split_random`'s existing shape.

Also adds a generic `split_strategy` parameter to `StreamingDataset`'s
constructor (a callable taking/returning a `PermutationBuilder`), since
it previously could only reach `split_random`/`split_sequential` even
though `split_hash`/`split_calculated` already shipped. This unblocks
`Bootstrap` and any future strategy without further constructor changes.

Jack Ye a4544c5472 feat: configure automatic refresh when declaring computed columns (#4607)
Add `auto_refresh_enabled` and `auto_refresh_interval_seconds` to the
Rust builder and Python sync/async add-column APIs for computed columns
and registered Function outputs.

Python users can configure refresh when declaring a column:

```python
table.add_columns(
    computed={"total": "price * quantity"},
    auto_refresh_enabled=True,
    auto_refresh_interval_seconds=300,
)
```

Omit the interval to let the server determine when to refresh:

```python
table.add_columns(computed={"discounted_total": "total * 0.9"})
```

The async API accepts the same options:

```python
await async_table.add_columns(
    computed={"total": "price * quantity"},
    auto_refresh_enabled=True,
    auto_refresh_interval_seconds=300,
)
```

For an existing registered `FunctionApplication`, the options also apply
to Function columns. Disabling automatic refresh still permits explicit
refresh:

```python
table.add_columns(
    {"features": function_application},
    auto_refresh_enabled=False,
    auto_refresh_interval_seconds=300,
)
table.refresh_column("features")
```

Options apply to every output declared by a call. Automatic refresh is
enabled by default; when the interval is omitted, the server determines
when to refresh. An explicit interval sets a minimum delay after a
successful refresh. The interval does not force recomputation of
unchanged inputs. Invalid intervals and options on one-time transforms
are rejected before declaration.

Native declarations persist `computed_column.auto_refresh_enabled` and
an explicitly supplied `computed_column.auto_refresh_interval_seconds`
in each output field’s metadata in the same commit as the declaration.
An omitted interval is neither stored nor sent in remote requests.
Remote declarations forward the settings to Cloud/Enterprise servers.
Local tables store these settings; automatic execution requires a
supporting server with scheduling enabled.

docs/web-tests/rs/Cargo.lock: rustls-webpki 0.103.16. python/uv.lock:
certifi 2026.10.19, the only entry that changes.

The root crate drops the root CA whose intermediates were compromised
(Mozilla bug 2083449), and rustls-webpki 0.103.16 rejects chains that
carry the compromised eMudhra intermediate keys. certifi 2026.10.19 is
the release the certifi advisory names as fixed: it drops the same root
and keeps the issuer's other roots, so HTTPS connections that chain to
them keep working. Relative to the previous 2026.6.17 pin it also adds
Telia EC and RSA TLS Root CA v3 and SECOM TLS ECC and RSA Root CA 2024
and drops Atos TrustedRoot 2011.

The webpki-root-certs entry is written by hand with the crates.io
checksum.

951ae51ef6 docs: add realtime engine (RTE) getting-started guide (#4548)
Adds a user-facing realtime engine (RTE) page at
`docs/web/tables/realtime-engine.mdx`, listed under **Management** after
Branches. It is adapted from the internal WAL field guide
(lancedb/sophon#6213), with the deployment and operations material left
out.

The page covers:
- what RTE is and how it works (memtable → SSTables → compaction; reads
merge the base table with the fresh tier)
- getting started: `set_unenforced_primary_key`, indexes, `enable_rte` /
`ALTER TABLE ... SET RTE`, `merge_insert` upserts and queries, partial
updates, deletes, and `checkpoint_rte` / `disable_rte`
- performance: write throughput and shard scaling, and read latency with
and without RTE
- a note on operations not yet supported (time travel, branching,
`count_rows`, row IDs, `TABLESAMPLE`)

Also aligns related docs with current RTE naming and behavior:
- `sql/ddl/table.mdx`: `SET MEMWAL` / `UNSET MEMWAL` → `SET RTE` /
`UNSET RTE`
- `maintenance/background-jobs.mdx`: job names are `memwal_compaction`
and `memwal_catchup_<type>`
- `feature-engineering/materialized-views.mdx`: MemWAL → realtime engine
- Python `AsyncTable.enable_rte` /
`RTEWriteSpec.with_maintained_indexes` docstrings: by default, indexes
created after enabling RTE are maintained too

The examples are written directly in the page rather than generated from
`docs/web-tests`, because RTE needs an Enterprise server to run.

Dan RammerandClaude Opus 5.5 92825f6f13 refactor!: rename MemWAL APIs to RTE (realtime engine) (#4598)
## What

Renames the user-facing MemWAL surface to **RTE** (realtime engine)
across Rust, Python, TypeScript, and Java, including the REST wire
format. This follows the LSM → MemWAL rename in #4075.

| Before | After |
|---|---|
| `MemWalWriteSpec` / `MemWalStats` | `RTEWriteSpec` / `RTEStats` |
| `enable_memwal` / `disable_memwal` / `get_memwal_spec` | `enable_rte`
/ `disable_rte` / `get_rte_spec` |
| `flush_memwal` / `compact_memwal` / `checkpoint_memwal` | `flush_rte`
/ `compact_rte` / `checkpoint_rte` |
| `get_memwal_stats` / `close_memwal_writers` | `get_rte_stats` /
`close_rte_writers` |
| `use_memwal` (query, merge insert) | `use_rte` |
| TS/Java `enableMemWal`, `useMemWal`, ... | `enableRTE`, `useRTE`, ...
(napi `js_name` set explicitly) |
| Java `LanceDbTableMemWal` | `LanceDbTableRTE` |
| `table/memwal_stats.rs` | `table/rte_stats.rs` |

Docs and comments now say "realtime engine (RTE)". Text about Lance's
underlying mechanism keeps "MemWAL" ("Lance's MemWAL", "MemWAL index").

**Left alone:** Lance-owned names (`MemWalIndexDetails`,
`DatasetMemWalExt`, `InitializeMemWal*`, `mem_wal` paths), internal
`Lsm*` names and modules, and the `does not support with_row_id` refusal
text that the hybrid fallback matches on.

## Compatibility

Breaking, for an experimental API. The wire format changes, so this must
roll out together with the matching sophon change (lancedb/sophon#8870):

- Routes: `/enable_memwal/` → `/enable_rte/`, `/disable_memwal/` →
`/disable_rte/`, `/get_memwal_spec/` → `/get_rte_spec/`,
`/get_memwal_stats/` → `/get_rte_stats/`, `/flush_memwal/` →
`/flush_rte/`, `/compact_memwal/` → `/compact_rte/`
- Response keys: `memwal_spec` → `rte_spec`, `memwal_stats` →
`rte_stats`
- Request field: `use_memwal` → `use_rte` on query and merge-insert
bodies

The SQL keyword becomes `ALTER TABLE ... SET RTE` server-side. The
guides under `docs/web` will be updated separately.

## Validation

- Rust: `cargo clippy --features remote --tests --examples` clean;
`cargo test --features remote -p lancedb --lib`: 1533 passed
- Java: `mvn test`: 37 passed (Spotless applied with JDK 11)
- Python: `ruff format` / `ruff check` clean; targeted tests
(`test_rte_spec`, `test_merge_insert_lsm`, `test_remote_db`,
`test_wal_hybrid`, `test_query`, `test_permutation`, `test_table`): 708
passed
- TypeScript: `pnpm build`; `table`, `query` tests: 606 passed; `biome
check` clean; `docs/src/js` regenerated with `pnpm run docs`

Lei XuandClaude Opus 5.5 1772f4ef83 fix: don't panic building permutations over tables with schema metadata (#4602)
## Problem

`permutation_builder(table).execute()` and `StreamingDataset(table,
...)` (which builds a permutation at construction) panic with
`RustPanic` on any table whose Arrow schema has schema-level metadata:

```python
schema = pa.schema([pa.field("x", pa.int64())], metadata={b"huggingface": b"{}"})
t = lancedb.connect(tmp).create_table("t", pa.table({"x": list(range(100))}, schema=schema))
permutation_builder(t).split_random(fixed=2, seed=1).execute()   # RustPanic
```

Every Hugging Face Lance dataset triggers this, e.g.
`hf://datasets/lance-format/lerobot-xvla-soft-fold/data` table `frames`
carries `source-column-name-map`.

## Root cause

`PermutationBuilder::add_config_metadata` replaced the stream schema's
metadata with the permutation config and then called
`batch.with_schema(schema).unwrap()`. The base-table scan's batches
carry the base schema metadata, and `RecordBatch::with_schema` requires
the target to be a superset of the current schema, metadata included. It
returned `SchemaError("target schema is not superset of current schema
...")`, and the `unwrap` turned that into a panic on a tokio worker.

## Fix

- The permutation table deliberately does **not** inherit base-table
schema metadata. That metadata describes columns the permutation table
(`row_id`, `split_id`) does not have, and its keys can collide with
config keys such as `split_names`. A merge would let a base table's
`split_names` leak into, or override, the permutation's split names.
Batches are rebuilt with `RecordBatch::try_new(schema, columns)`.
- Errors are propagated (`map_ok` → `and_then`) instead of `unwrap`.
- The same panic-on-worker pattern in the splitter's streaming closures
(`split.rs`: `try_new`/`filter(...).unwrap()`) now propagates errors
too. Nothing else in `dataloader/` used `with_schema(...).unwrap()`.

## Tests

- Rust: `test_permutation_over_table_with_schema_metadata` in
`builder.rs` builds a random split + shuffled permutation over a table
with `huggingface` and a colliding `split_names` key. It panics with the
original `SchemaError` on the old code and passes now.
- Python: `test_permutation_over_table_with_schema_metadata` in
`test_permutation.py` covers the repro and reads both splits through
`Permutations`/`Permutation.from_tables`.
`test_streaming_dataset_over_table_with_schema_metadata` in
`test_elastic_dataloader.py` covers `StreamingDataset` construction and
iteration.
- `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy --features remote --tests --examples`, the
dataloader Rust tests (42), `test_permutation.py` (72), and
`test_elastic_dataloader.py` all pass.

`test_torch.py::test_remote_permutation_dataloader_multiprocessing`
fails locally with `take query result did not include ordering column
'__lancedb_take_row_offset'`. It uses `Permutation.identity`, which does
not go through `PermutationBuilder`, so this change does not cause it.

Tobias 1ad97b148b build(python): publish an sdist alongside the wheels (#4522)
Closes #4246.

lancedb publishes no source distribution, so a platform without a
prebuilt wheel (#4104, #4239) has nothing to install. This adds an sdist
to the Python release.

## The sdist job

The release workflow builds an sdist with the maturin version of the
wheel jobs. On a tag, the publish job uploads it with the wheels: to
PyPI, and to Fury for beta tags. The job also runs on the pull request
dry run, which now starts on a change to `python/pyproject.toml`.

## Checks

- The job builds a wheel from the sdist with `--locked` and smoke-tests
it in a fresh venv.
- `ci/check_sdist.py` fails if a tracked file of the Python package is
missing from the tarball.
- `twine check --strict` checks that the metadata renders. `pydistcheck`
enforces PyPI's 100 MiB size limit.
- The unit tests of both check scripts run in the CI scripts workflow.

## Cargo.lock

maturin ships the repository lockfile, which pins crates that only the
dropped `nodejs` member uses, so `cargo --locked` fails
(PyO3/maturin#2609). The job first runs `cargo metadata --locked` on the
repository workspace, so a lockfile that has drifted from `Cargo.toml`
fails there. It then removes the nodejs-only pins and repacks the sdist.
`ci/check_cargo_lock.py` fails if the prune changes any package it
keeps, or any dependency of one. The published file is the repacked one.

## Behavior change

After the first release with an sdist, pip on a platform with no current
wheel builds the newest version from source, which needs a Rust
toolchain and `protoc`. Before, pip installed the last version with a
wheel for that platform.

Will JonesandClaude Opus 5.5 9020640538 fix(python)!: don't trust embedding settings from table metadata (#4550)
BREAKING CHANGE: `SentenceTransformerEmbeddings.trust_remote_code` now
defaults to `False` (was `True`). When an embedding function is restored
from table metadata, `trust_remote_code=True` and custom endpoints
(OpenAI `base_url`, Ollama `host`/proxy, watsonx `url`) are only honored
if the process approved them; otherwise computing embeddings raises
`UntrustedEmbeddingConfigError`. Functions created in the same process
are approved automatically. To reopen such a table in a new process,
call `get_registry().allow_remote_code(model, revision=...)` or
`get_registry().allow_endpoint(url)` first.

## Summary

Embedding functions are rebuilt from table metadata, which anyone who
can write the table controls. Since sentence-transformers defaulted
`trust_remote_code` to `True`, opening and querying a crafted table ran
arbitrary code from a model repository (GHSA-x8v2-vj73-gfwm). Metadata
could likewise point `base_url` at another server, sending it queries
and the `OPENAI_API_KEY` from the environment.

The table can no longer grant itself trust:

```python
registry = get_registry()
registry.allow_remote_code("nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5", revision="<commit>")
registry.allow_endpoint("http://my-ollama-host:11434")
```

Trust is keyed by model name (optionally pinned to a revision), so
approving one model doesn't let a table swap in another. Restored
functions that aren't approved are replaced by a placeholder that raises
on use without constructing the real function (`huggingface` loads its
model in `__init__`), so non-embedding operations on the table keep
working. `sentence-transformers` and `huggingface` gain a `revision`
parameter. Custom embedding functions can opt in by overriding the new
`remote_code_model()` / `endpoints()` hooks.

Not covered: TypeScript (its built-ins have neither remote code nor
configurable endpoints), Bedrock `assumed_role`, and third-party
functions that don't implement the hooks.

## Evidence

`test_embeddings_trust.py` covers restore with and without approval,
revision pinning, swapped model names, endpoint gating, and that the
table stays usable. Opening a table with crafted metadata and searching
it now gives:

```
UntrustedEmbeddingConfigError: Embedding function 'sentence-transformers' was restored from table metadata with settings this process has not approved:
  - runs code from model 'attacker/model' at revision None. If you trust it, call get_registry().allow_remote_code('attacker/model', revision=None)
```

## Merge Risk

**Door:** One-way: changes a default and makes previously working
reopen-and-search flows require explicit approval.
**Blast Radius:** public-api (Python embeddings); users of remote-code
models or custom endpoints who reopen tables in a new process.

Weston PaceandClaude Sonnet 5 ec53c82ef8 fix(python): bound StreamingDataset's raw_batches queue against io_queue_depth (#4530)
## Summary
- `StreamingDataset`'s Stage 1 (I/O) queue (`raw_batches`) had no cap:
`_fill_io` only limited *in-flight* fetch futures (`io_pending`) to
`io_queue_depth`, but every completed fetch was unconditionally drained
into `raw_batches` and the freed slot immediately refilled, so I/O could
race arbitrarily far ahead of a slow transform stage with no bound on
buffered memory.
- `transform_queue_depth`'s admission check (`_try_submit_tx`) couldn't
compensate either, since it only counts `cooked` rows and in-flight
transform futures — it never looks at `raw_batches`.
- Fix: `_fill_io` now counts both `io_pending` and `raw_batches` against
the `io_queue_depth` budget, matching the parameter's documented
"batches to keep in flight per split" contract.

## Test plan
- [x] Added
`test_raw_queue_depth_bounded_when_transform_is_the_bottleneck`
(deterministic, via synchronous I/O) asserting `raw_queue_depth <=
io_queue_depth * read_batch_size` even when the transform stage is the
bottleneck.
- [x] Full `python/python/tests/test_elastic_dataloader.py` suite passes
(190/190), confirming no change to sample ordering, counts, or
checkpoint/resumability behavior.

XY Zhan ea1d2b172a fix: require a primary key to enable MemWAL (#4561)
## Why

Every MemWAL write and read resolves rows by the table's unenforced
primary key, but `enable_memwal` accepted a table without one. The spec
installed, and every MemWAL `merge_insert` then failed with "table has a
MemWAL index but no unenforced primary key" until MemWAL was disabled.
Lance's MemWAL initialization doesn't catch it: its key checks pass when
there is no key.

## What changes

`enable_memwal` refuses a spec on a table with no unenforced primary
key, for every sharding mode, before anything is committed. The check
runs against the dataset the spec is committed to; a key cannot be
removed once set, and an overwrite or restore of the table conflicts
with that commit. Servers that install specs through this method get the
check too.

The Rust doc on `Table::enable_memwal` now states the requirement; the
Python and TypeScript docs already did.

## Tests

- New `test_enable_memwal_requires_primary_key` (Rust and Python):
unsharded, bucket and identity specs are all refused without a key, a
refused spec leaves nothing installed, and the same table accepts a spec
once a key is set. The Rust test fails with the check disabled.
- Tests that installed a spec on a table without a key now declare one
first (6 Rust, 3 Python).
- `cargo nextest run -p lancedb --features remote --lib`: 1529 passed.
`cargo clippy -p lancedb --features remote --tests --examples -- -D
warnings` and `cargo fmt --check` are clean; no integration test or
example installs a spec.
- Python: `test_memwal_spec.py` and `test_merge_insert_lsm.py`, 43
passed; `ruff format` and `ruff check` are clean.

Dan RammerandClaude Opus 5 fe34eb3549 refactor!: rename LSM APIs to MemWAL and align SSTable/table shard naming (#4075)
## What

Renames the MemWAL surface in two passes, across Rust, Python,
TypeScript, and Java, including the wire format.

### 1. MemWAL APIs drop "LSM"

The write path these APIs drive is Lance's MemWAL; "LSM" described its
shape rather than naming it. Turning it on and off now reads as enabling
a feature rather than installing a spec.

| Before | After |
|---|---|
| `set_lsm_write_spec` | `enable_memwal` |
| `unset_lsm_write_spec` | `disable_memwal` |
| `get_lsm_write_spec` | `get_memwal_spec` |
| `flush_lsm` / `compact_lsm` / `checkpoint_lsm` | `flush_memwal` /
`compact_memwal` / `checkpoint_memwal` |
| `get_lsm_stats` | `get_memwal_stats` |
| `close_lsm_writers` | `close_memwal_writers` |
| `use_lsm` (query, merge insert) | `use_memwal` |
| `LsmWriteSpec` / `LsmStats` | `MemWalWriteSpec` / `MemWalStats` |
| Java `LanceDbTableLsm` | `LanceDbTableMemWal` |

TypeScript and Java use camelCase (`enableMemWal`, `getMemWalStats`,
...); the napi methods set `js_name` so the generated names keep the
`MemWal` casing. flush/compact/checkpoint keep a `_memwal` suffix so
`compact_memwal` is not confused with `compact_files` / `optimize`,
which compact the base table.

Internal names (`LsmMode`, `LsmScanner`, the `merge::lsm` / `query::lsm`
modules) are unchanged.

### 2. Stats use SSTable and table shard

Aligns the stats surface with the MemWAL naming settled upstream in
lance-format/lance#7943 and #7957, where the persisted unit became an
**SSTable**.

**Generation → SSTable.** A `GenerationStats` describes one flushed
MemTable, which is an SSTable. The generation *number* is kept — an
SSTable is identified by its generation — so only the noun moved.

**Bucket → table shard.** Each entry is one MemWAL shard. "Bucket" names
only the hash sharding *transform*, so it was already wrong for
`identity` and `year` sharding, which produce shards and no buckets at
all.

| Before | After |
|---|---|
| `GenerationStats` | `SsTableStats` |
| `BucketStats` | `TableShardStats` |
| `stats.buckets` | `stats.table_shards` |
| `BucketStats.generations` | `TableShardStats.sstables` |
| `include_generation_rows` | `include_sstable_rows` |
| `newest_generation` | `newest_sstable_generation` |
| `outstanding_generations` | `outstanding_sstables` |

Docs and comments follow suit: "seal" → "freeze", "L0" / "flushed
generations" → SSTables, "bucket" (meaning a shard) → table shard.

`MemWalWriteSpec::bucket`, `num_buckets`, and the `"Sealed"` shard
status value are **unchanged** — those name the sharding transform or a
server value, not the shard.

## Compatibility

Breaking, for an experimental API. The wire format changes with the
SDKs, so this must roll out together with the matching server change:

- Routes: `/set_lsm_write_spec/` → `/enable_memwal/`,
`/unset_lsm_write_spec/` → `/disable_memwal/`, `/get_lsm_write_spec/` →
`/get_memwal_spec/`, `/flush_lsm/` → `/flush_memwal/`, `/compact_lsm/` →
`/compact_memwal/`, `/get_lsm_stats/` → `/get_memwal_stats/`
- Response keys: `lsm_write_spec` → `memwal_spec`, `lsm_stats` →
`memwal_stats`, `buckets` → `table_shards`, `generations` → `sstables`
- Request fields: `include_generation_rows` → `include_sstable_rows`;
`use_lsm` → `use_memwal` on query and merge-insert bodies

## Validation

- Rust: `cargo test --features remote -p lancedb --lib --tests` — 1467
lib tests and all integration test targets pass; `cargo clippy` clean
- Python: rebuilt the extension; `test_remote_db`, `test_memwal_spec`,
`test_merge_insert_lsm`, `test_query`, `test_permutation`, `test_table`
— 655 passed; `ruff format` / `ruff check` clean
- TypeScript: `pnpm build`; `table`, `merge`, `query` tests — 593
passed; `biome check` clean; `docs/src/js` regenerated with `npm run
docs`
- Java: `mvn test` — 37 passed (Spotless applied with JDK 11; the pinned
google-java-format does not run on JDK 21)

Dan RammerandClaude Opus 5 0968c21f4c feat(remote): support set_unenforced_primary_key (#4158)
## Summary

`RemoteTable::set_unenforced_primary_key` returned `NotSupported`, so
the call failed against LanceDB Cloud and enterprise from every SDK —
Python and TypeScript both forward to it. That also blocked sharded LSM
writes, since the server rejects bucket/identity sharding on a table
that declares no unenforced primary key, and the SDK had no way to
declare one.

No server-side support was missing. The unenforced primary key is Lance
schema field metadata, and the existing `update_field_metadata` endpoint
writes exactly that, so the remote table now installs the key through
it. The commit layer behind that endpoint installs the position,
enforces immutability and runs `verify_primary_key()` — the same code a
native table reaches, so both paths agree on semantics and not just on
error messages.

## Changes

- `rust/lancedb/src/table/primary_key.rs`: the request validation
(single column, column exists, supported dtype, key not already set) and
the metadata edit (set the 1-indexed position, clear the legacy boolean
key) move into `validate()` and `install_edit()`, shared by both table
types so they cannot drift. Native behaviour is unchanged.
- `rust/lancedb/src/remote/table.rs`: real implementation —
`check_mutable()`, validate against the described schema, then one
`update_field_metadata` request.
- `python/python/lancedb/remote/table.py`: drop the "Not supported on
LanceDB Cloud." docstring.

No binding changes were needed; Python and TypeScript already forward to
the Rust `BaseTable` method.

## Tests

Three mocked-server tests in `rust/lancedb/src/remote/table.rs`:

- the happy path, asserting the request body carries
`lance-schema:unenforced-primary-key:position: "1"` and a null legacy
key on the right field path;
- the invalid requests a native table also rejects (empty, compound,
unknown column, unsupported dtype), each failing before any write
reaches the server;
- the already-set case, rejected from the schema the server already
reports.

`cargo test --features remote -p lancedb --lib`: 1186 passed, 0 failed.
`cargo clippy --features remote -p lancedb --lib --tests` is clean.

## Note for enterprise

Sophon pins the lancedb submodule at `v0.39.0-beta.6`, so this reaches
enterprise on the next bump.

Jack Ye 9f37f39267 fix(python): resolve the single vector column despite a query dimension mismatch (#4526)
\`inf_vector_column_query\`'s \`dim\` filter (added in #3423) is meant
to disambiguate between multiple vector columns of different sizes. When
a schema has exactly one vector column and the query's dimension doesn't
match it, the filter excluded that column too, raising "There is no
vector column in the data" instead of resolving the column and letting
the dimension mismatch surface at query execution.

This was latent until #4409 wired client-side vector-column inference
into remote search: a mismatched-dimension query against a
single-vector-column remote table now fails client-side with the wrong
error, before ever reaching the server's own dimension validation.

Fall back to the unfiltered candidate set when the dimension filter
leaves zero matches, and only raise when that is still ambiguous or
genuinely empty.
