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)
Bumps all lance-* workspace dependencies from `4.0.0-rc.3` (git source)
to the stable `4.0.0` release on crates.io, removing the `git`/`tag`
overrides.
No code changes were required — compiles and passes clippy cleanly.

Fixes#2716
## Summary
Add support for querying with Float16Array, Float64Array, and Uint8Array
vectors in the Node.js SDK, eliminating precision loss from the previous
\Float32Array.from()\ conversion.
## Implementation
Follows @wjones127's [5-step
plan](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/2716#issuecomment-3447750543):
### Rust (\
odejs/src/query.rs\)
1. \ytes_to_arrow_array(data: Uint8Array, dtype: String)\ helper that:
- Creates an Arrow \Buffer\ from the raw bytes
- Wraps it in a typed \ScalarBuffer<T>\ based on the dtype enum
- Constructs a \PrimitiveArray\ and returns \Arc<dyn Array>\
2. \
earest_to_raw(data, dtype)\ and \dd_query_vector_raw(data, dtype)\ NAPI
methods that pass the type-erased array to the core \
earest_to\/\dd_query_vector\ which already accept \impl
IntoQueryVector\ for \Arc<dyn Array>\
### TypeScript (\
odejs/lancedb/query.ts\, \rrow.ts\)
3. Extended \IntoVector\ type to include \Uint8Array\ (and
\Float16Array\ via runtime check for Node 22+)
4. \xtractVectorBuffer()\ helper detects non-Float32 typed arrays and
extracts their underlying byte buffer + dtype string
5. \
earestTo()\ and \ddQueryVector()\ route through the raw NAPI path when
the input is Float16/Float64/Uint8
### Backward compatibility
Existing \Float32Array\ and \
umber[]\ inputs are unchanged -- they still use the original \
earest_to(Float32Array)\ NAPI method. The new raw path is only used when
a non-Float32 typed array is detected.
## Usage
\\\ ypescript
// Float16Array (Node 22+) -- no precision loss
const f16vec = new Float16Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3]);
const results = await
table.query().nearestTo(f16vec).limit(10).toArray();
// Float64Array -- no precision loss
const f64vec = new Float64Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3]);
const results = await
table.query().nearestTo(f64vec).limit(10).toArray();
// Uint8Array (binary embeddings)
const u8vec = new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1, 1, 0]);
const results = await
table.query().nearestTo(u8vec).limit(10).toArray();
// Existing usage unchanged
const results = await table.query().nearestTo([0.1, 0.2,
0.3]).limit(10).toArray();
\\\
## Note on dependencies
The Rust side uses \rrow_array\, \rrow_buffer\, and \half\ crates.
These should already be in the dependency tree via \lancedb\ core, but
\Cargo.toml\ may need explicit entries for \half\ and the arrow
sub-crates in the nodejs workspace.

## 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.

we check the builds actually pass. CI started failing because
dependencies were changed in #3116 without running all build jobs.

Without this fix, if user directly use the native table to do operations
like `add_columns`, even if it is configured to use namespace db
connection, it is not really propagated through.
The fix is to bring lancedb's python binding up to date and do a similar
implementation as https://github.com/lance-format/lance/pull/5968, and
make sure the namespace is fully propagated through all the related
calls.

## Summary
Adds a Rust expression builder API as a type-safe alternative to SQL
strings for query filters.
## Motivation
Filtering with raw SQL strings can be awkward when using variables and
special types:

## Summary
- Upgrades `@napi-rs/cli` from v2 to v3, `napi`/`napi-derive` Rust
crates to 3.x
- Fixes a bug
([napi-rs#1170](https://github.com/napi-rs/napi-rs/issues/1170)) where
the CLI failed to locate the built `.node` binary when a custom Cargo
target directory is set (via `config.toml`)
## Changes
**package.json / CLI**:
- `napi.name` → `napi.binaryName`, `napi.triples` → `napi.targets`
- Removed `--no-const-enum` flag and fixed output dir arg
- `napi universal` → `napi universalize`
**Rust API migration**:
- `#[napi::module_init]` → `#[napi_derive::module_init]`
- `napi::JsObject` → `Object`, `.get::<_, T>()` → `.get::<T>()`
- `ErrorStrategy` removed; `ThreadsafeFunction` now takes an explicit
`Return` type with `CalleeHandled = false` const generic
- `JsFunction` + `create_threadsafe_function` replaced by typed
`Function<Args, Return>` + `build_threadsafe_function().build()`
- `RerankerCallbacks` struct removed (`Function<'env,...>` can't be
stored in structs); `VectorQuery::rerank` now accepts the function
directly
- `ClassInstance::clone()` now returns `ClassInstance`, fixed with
explicit deref
- `Vec<u8>` in `#[napi(object)]` now maps to `Array<number>` in v3;
changed to `Buffer` to preserve the TypeScript `Buffer` type
**TypeScript**:
- `inner.rerank({ rerankHybrid: async (_, args) => ... })` →
`inner.rerank(async (args) => ...)`
- Header provider callback wrapped in `async` to match stricter typed
constructor signature
