This pipes the num_attempts field from lance's merge insert result
through lancedb. This allows callers of merge_insert to get a better
idea of whether transaction conflicts are occurring.
I'm working on a lancedb version of pytorch data loading (and hopefully
addressing https://github.com/lancedb/lance/issues/3727).
However, rather than rely on pytorch for everything I'm moving some of
the things that pytorch does into rust. This gives us more control over
data loading (e.g. using shards or a hash-based split) and it allows
permutations to be persistent. In particular I hope to be able to:
* Create a persistent permutation
* This permutation can handle splits, filtering, shuffling, and sharding
* Create a rust data loader that can read a permutation (one or more
splits), or a subset of a permutation (for DDP)
* Create a python data loader that delegates to the rust data loader
Eventually create integrations for other data loading libraries,
including rust & node
Enables two new parameters when building indices:
* `name`: Allows explicitly setting a name on the index. Default is
`{col_name}_idx`.
* `train` (default `True`): When set to `False`, an empty index will be
immediately created.
The upgrade of Lance means there are also additional behaviors from
cd76a993b8:
* When a scalar index is created on a Table, it will be kept around even
if all rows are deleted or updated.
* Scalar indices can be created on empty tables. They will default to
`train=False` if the table is empty.

These operations have existed in lance for a long while and many users
need to drop down to lance for this capability. This PR adds the API and
implements it using filters (e.g. `_rowid IN (...)`) so that in doesn't
currently add any load to `BaseTable`. I'm not sure that is sustainable
as base table implementations may want to specialize how they handle
this method. However, I figure it is a good starting point.
In addition, unlike Lance, this API does not currently guarantee
anything about the order of the take results. This is necessary for the
fallback filter approach to work (SQL filters cannot guarantee result
order)
return version info for all write operations (add, update, merge_insert
and column modification operations)

## Summary by CodeRabbit
- **New Features**
- Table modification operations (add, update, delete, merge,
add/alter/drop columns) now return detailed result objects including
version numbers and operation statistics.
- Result objects provide clearer feedback such as rows affected and new
table version after each operation.
- **Documentation**
- Updated documentation to describe new result objects and their fields
for all relevant table operations.
- Added documentation for new result interfaces and updated method
return types in Node.js and Python APIs.
- **Tests**
- Enhanced test coverage to assert correctness of returned versioning
and operation metadata after table modifications.

* Add a new "table stats" API to expose basic table and fragment
statistics with local and remote table implementations
### Questions
* This is using `calculate_data_stats` to determine total bytes in the
table. This seems like a potentially expensive operation - are there any
concerns about performance for large datasets?
### Notes
* bytes_on_disk seems to be stored at the column level but there does
not seem to be a way to easily calculate total bytes per fragment. This
may need to be added in lance before we can support fragment size
(bytes) statistics.

This exposes the `LANCEDB_LOG` environment variable in node, so that
users can now turn on logging.
In addition, fixes a bug where only the top-level error from Rust was
being shown. This PR makes sure the full error chain is included in the
error message. In the future, will improve this so the error chain is
set on the [cause](https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errorcause)
property of JS errors https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/1779Fixes#1774
BREAKING CHANGE: the return value of `index_stats` method has changed
and all `index_stats` APIs now take index name instead of UUID. Also
several deprecated index statistics methods were removed.
* Removes deprecated methods for individual index statistics
* Aligns public `IndexStatistics` struct with API response from LanceDB
Cloud.
* Implements `index_stats` for remote Rust SDK and Python async API.
The new V2 manifest path scheme makes discovering the latest version of
a table constant time on object stores, regardless of the number of
versions in the table. See benchmarks in the PR here:
https://github.com/lancedb/lance/pull/2798Closes#1583
this bumps napi version to 2.16 which contains a few bug fixes.
Additionally, it adds `catch_unwind` to any method that may
unintentionally panic.
`catch_unwind` will unwind the panics and return a regular JS error
instead of panicking.
The optimize function is pretty crucial for getting good performance
when building a large scale dataset but it was only exposed in rust
(many sync python users are probably doing this via to_lance today)
This PR adds the optimize function to nodejs and to python.
I left the function marked experimental because I think there will
likely be changes to optimization (e.g. if we add features like
"optimize on write"). I also only exposed the `cleanup_older_than`
configuration parameter since this one is very commonly used and the
rest have sensible defaults and we don't really know why we would
recommend different values for these defaults anyways.
In
2de226220b
I added a new `IntoArrow` trait for adding data into a table.
Unfortunately, it seems my approach for implementing the trait for
"things that are already record batch readers" was flawed. This PR
corrects that flaw and, conveniently, removes the need to box readers at
all (though it is ok if you do).
In order to add support for `add` we needed to migrate the rust `Table`
trait to a `Table` struct and `TableInternal` trait (similar to the way
the connection is designed).
While doing this we also cleaned up some inconsistencies between the
SDKs:
* Python and Node are garbage collected languages and it can be
difficult to trigger something to be freed. The convention for these
languages is to have some kind of close method. I added a close method
to both the table and connection which will drop the underlying rust
object.
* We made significant improvements to table creation in
cc5f2136a6
for the `node` SDK. I copied these changes to the `nodejs` SDK.
* The nodejs tables were using fs to create tmp directories and these
were not getting cleaned up. This is mostly harmless but annoying and so
I changed it up a bit to ensure we cleanup tmp directories.
* ~~countRows in the node SDK was returning `bigint`. I changed it to
return `number`~~ (this actually happened in a previous PR)
* Tables and connections now implement `std::fmt::Display` which is
hooked into python's `__repr__`. Node has no concept of a regular "to
string" function and so I added a `display` method.
* Python method signatures are changing so that optional parameters are
always `Optional[foo] = None` instead of something like `foo = False`.
This is because we want those defaults to be in rust whenever possible
(though we still need to mention the default in documentation).
* I changed the python `AsyncConnection/AsyncTable` classes from
abstract classes with a single implementation to just classes because we
no longer have the remote implementation in python.
Note: this does NOT add the `add` function to the remote table. This PR
was already large enough, and the remote implementation is unique
enough, that I am going to do all the remote stuff at a later date (we
should have the structure in place and correct so there shouldn't be any
refactor concerns)

This also renames the new experimental node package to lancedb. The
classic node package remains named vectordb.
The goal here is to avoid introducing piecemeal breaking changes to the
vectordb crate. Instead, once the new API is stabilized, we will
officially release the lancedb crate and deprecate the vectordb crate.
The same pattern will eventually happen with the npm package vectordb.
This PR adds the same consistency semantics as was added in #828. It
*does not* add the same lazy-loading of tables, since that breaks some
existing tests.
This closes#998.

This is the start of a more comprehensive refactor and stabilization of
the Rust API. The `Connection` trait is cleaned up to not require
`lance` and to match the `Connection` trait in other APIs. In addition,
the concrete implementation `Database` is hidden.
BREAKING CHANGE: The struct `crate::connection::Database` is now gone.
Several examples opened a connection using `Database::connect` or
`Database::connect_with_params`. Users should now use
`vectordb::connect`.
BREAKING CHANGE: The `connect`, `create_table`, and `open_table` methods
now all return a builder object. This means that a call like
`conn.open_table(..., opt1, opt2)` will now become
`conn.open_table(...).opt1(opt1).opt2(opt2).execute()` In addition, the
structure of options has changed slightly. However, no options
capability has been removed.

A `count_rows` method that takes a filter was recently added to
`LanceTable`. This PR adds it everywhere else except `RemoteTable` (that
will come soon).
