list_namespaces with empty path was going through Rust (ListingDatabase)
which doesn't see namespaces created via the directory namespace client.
Always delegate to _namespace_conn() so create/list are consistent.

- Run ruff format on all changed files
- Fix F821 forward reference in _namespace_conn return type
- Update test_local_namespace_operations to verify operations succeed
instead of expecting NotImplementedError (namespace ops now work on
LanceDBConnection via directory namespace delegation)
- Remove test_local_create_namespace_not_supported and
test_local_drop_namespace_not_supported (no longer applicable)

_create_table_server_side was only passing self.storage_options
(connection-level) to CreateTableRequest, ignoring the user-provided
storage_options parameter. This caused per-table options like
new_table_data_storage_version to be silently dropped.
Fix both sync and async paths to merge user options on top of
connection options.

Only delegate to _namespace_conn() when namespace_path is non-empty.
Root namespace operations (list_namespaces, list_tables with empty
path) still go through the original Rust connection to avoid regression.

Replace the special-cased worker_uri key with a generic mechanism:
any namespace_client_properties key starting with _lancedb_worker_
has the prefix stripped and overrides the corresponding property
when for_worker=True.
e.g. _lancedb_worker_uri overrides uri in worker context.

Instead of reimplementing namespace logic (describe_table, merge
storage_options, etc.) in LanceDBConnection, delegate child namespace
operations to a LanceNamespaceDBConnection via _namespace_conn().
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
LanceDBConnection now:
- Caches namespace_client() result to avoid repeated DirectoryNamespace builds
- Auto-delegates open_table/create_table with non-empty namespace_path
through the directory namespace client
- Routes create_namespace/drop_namespace/describe_namespace/list_namespaces
through the namespace client
- Routes list_tables/drop_table for child namespaces through namespace client
This enables local storage connections to transparently handle child
namespaces like ["__system"] without requiring a separate
LanceNamespaceDBConnection.

Add serialization support to DBConnection classes so connections
can be reconstructed in remote workers without tracking namespace
params separately.
- DBConnection.serialize_to_json() base method
- LanceDBConnection: serializes uri, storage_options, read_consistency_interval
- LanceNamespaceDBConnection: stores namespace_client_impl/properties,
serializes all connection params including pushdown_operations
- from_serialized_json() factory with for_worker flag for worker_uri swap
- connect_namespace() now passes impl/properties to connection for serialization

## Summary
- migrate gemini-text embedding provider from deprecated
google.generativeai to google.genai
- update Python embedding extra dependency to google-genai
- update default model name to gemini-embedding-001
- adapt embed calls to Client().models.embed_content(...)
- apply lint fixes from CI

`.get(b"split_names", None).decode()` was called unconditionally in both
Permutations.__init__ and Permutation.from_tables(), crashing with
AttributeError when schema metadata existed but lacked the split_names
key. Guard the decode behind a None check and add regression tests.
## Problem
`on_bad_vectors="drop"` is supposed to remove invalid vector rows before
write, but for some schema-defined vector columns it can still fail
later during Arrow cast instead of dropping the bad row.
Repro:
```python
class MySchema(LanceModel):
text: str
embedding: Vector(16)
table = db.create_table("test", schema=MySchema)
table.add(
[
{"text": "hello", "embedding": []},
{"text": "bar", "embedding": [0.1] * 16},
],
on_bad_vectors="drop",
)
```
Before:
```
RuntimeError
Arrow error: C Data interface error: Invalid: ListType can only be casted to FixedSizeListType if the lists are all the expected size.
```
After:
```
rows 1
texts ['bar']
```
## Solution
Make bad-vector sanitization use schema dimensions before cast, while
keeping the handling scoped to vector columns identified by schema
metadata or existing vector-name heuristics.
This also preserves existing integer vector inputs and avoids applying
on_bad_vectors to unrelated fixed-size float columns.

## Summary
Fixes#1846.
Python `Enum` fields raised `TypeError: Converting Pydantic type to
Arrow Type: unsupported type <enum 'SomethingTypes'>` when converting a
Pydantic model to an Arrow schema.
The fix adds Enum detection in `_pydantic_type_to_arrow_type`. When an
Enum subclass is encountered, the value type of its members is inspected
and mapped to the appropriate Arrow type:
- `str`-valued enums (e.g. `class Status(str, Enum)`) → `pa.utf8()`
- `int`-valued enums (e.g. `class Priority(int, Enum)`) → `pa.int64()`
- Other homogeneous value types → the Arrow type for that Python type
- Mixed-value or empty enums → `pa.utf8()` (safe fallback)
This covers the common `(str, Enum)` and `(int, Enum)` mixin patterns
used in practice.
## Changes
- `python/python/lancedb/pydantic.py`: add Enum branch in
`_pydantic_type_to_arrow_type`
- `python/python/tests/test_pydantic.py`: add `test_enum_types` covering
`str`, `int`, and `Optional` Enum fields
## Note on #2395
PR #2395 handles `StrEnum` (Python 3.11+) specifically, using a
dictionary-encoded type. This PR handles the broader `(str, Enum)` /
`(int, Enum)` mixin pattern that works across all Python versions and
stores values as their natural Arrow type.
AI assistance was used in developing this fix.
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)
The test added in #3190 unconditionally imports `PIL`, which is an
optional dependency. This causes CI failures in environments where
Pillow isn't installed (`ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'`).
Use `pytest.importorskip` to skip gracefully when Pillow is unavailable.
Fixes CI failure on main.

## Summary
- Namespace tests expected `RuntimeError` for table-not-found and
namespace-not-empty cases, but `lance_namespace` raises
`TableNotFoundError` and `NamespaceNotEmptyError` which inherit from
`Exception`, not `RuntimeError`.
- Updated `pytest.raises` to use the correct exception types.
## Test plan
- [x] CI passes on `test_namespace.py`

url_retrieve() calls urllib.request.urlopen() but only urllib.error was
imported, causing AttributeError for any HTTP URL input. This affects
open-clip, siglip, and jinaai embedding functions when processing image
URLs.
The bug has existed since the embeddings API refactor (#580) but was
masked because most users pass local file paths or bytes rather than
HTTP URLs.
Fixes#3183
## Summary
When `table.add(mode='overwrite')` is called, PyArrow infers input data
types (e.g. `list<double>`) which differ from the original table schema
(e.g. `fixed_size_list<float32>`). Previously, overwrite mode bypassed
`cast_to_table_schema()` entirely, so the inferred types replaced the
original schema, breaking vector search.
This fix builds a merged target schema for overwrite: columns present in
the existing table schema keep their original types, while columns
unique to the input pass through as-is. This way
`cast_to_table_schema()` is applied unconditionally, preserving vector
column types without blocking schema evolution.
## Changes
- `rust/lancedb/src/table/add_data.rs`: For overwrite mode, construct a
target schema by matching input columns against the existing table
schema, then cast. Non-overwrite (append) path is unchanged.
- Added `test_add_overwrite_preserves_vector_type` test that creates a
table with `fixed_size_list<float32>`, overwrites with `list<double>`
input, and asserts the original type is preserved.
## Test Plan
- `cargo test --features remote -p lancedb -- test_add_overwrite` — all
4 overwrite tests pass
- Full suite: 454 passed, 2 failed (pre-existing `remote::retry` flakes
unrelated to this change)

dict.update() mutates in place and returns None. Assigning its result
caused with_metadata(None) to strip all schema metadata when embedding
metadata was merged during create_table with embedding_functions.
## Summary
Adds progress reporting for `table.add()` so users can track large write
operations. The progress callback is available in Rust, Python (sync and
async), and through the PyO3 bindings.
### Usage
Pass `progress=True` to get an automatic tqdm bar:
```python
table.add(data, progress=True)
# 100%|██████████| 1000000/1000000 [00:12<00:00, 82345 rows/s, 45.2 MB/s | 4/4 workers]
```
Or pass a tqdm bar for more control:
```python
from tqdm import tqdm
with tqdm(unit=" rows") as pbar:
table.add(data, progress=pbar)
```
Or use a callback for custom progress handling:
```python
def on_progress(p):
print(f"{p['output_rows']}/{p['total_rows']} rows, "
f"{p['active_tasks']}/{p['total_tasks']} workers, "
f"done={p['done']}")
table.add(data, progress=on_progress)
```
In Rust:
```rust
table.add(data)
.progress(|p| println!("{}/{:?} rows", p.output_rows(), p.total_rows()))
.execute()
.await?;
```
### Details
- `WriteProgress` struct in Rust with getters for `elapsed`,
`output_rows`, `output_bytes`, `total_rows`, `active_tasks`,
`total_tasks`, and `done`. Fields are private behind getters so new
fields can be added without breaking changes.
- `WriteProgressTracker` tracks progress across parallel write tasks
using a mutex for row/byte counts and atomics for active task counts.
- Active task tracking uses an RAII guard pattern (`ActiveTaskGuard`)
that increments on creation and decrements on drop.
- For remote writes, `output_bytes` reflects IPC wire bytes rather than
in-memory Arrow size. For local writes it uses in-memory Arrow size as a
proxy (see TODO below).
- tqdm postfix displays throughput (MB/s) and worker utilization
(active/total).
- The `done` callback always fires, even on error (via `FinishOnDrop`),
so progress bars are always finalized.
### TODO
- Track actual bytes written to disk for local tables. This requires
Lance to expose a progress callback from its write path. See
lance-format/lance#6247.

## 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):
<img width="823" height="83" alt="image"
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):
<img width="1017" height="93" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/66c74d5c-34b3-4b44-8173-3ee23e3648ac"
/>
When using hybrid search with a where filter, the prefilter argument is
silently inverted. Passing prefilter=True actually performs
post-filtering, and prefilter=False actually performs pre-filtering.
## Summary
- Removes the "Experimental API" section from `optimize` method
documentation across Rust, Python, and TypeScript
- Adds a warning to `delete_unverified` documentation in all bindings:
this should only be set to true if you can guarantee no other process is
working on the dataset, otherwise it could be corrupted
- Fixes a typo ("shoudl" → "should")
