Re-targets the v0.28 release branch at lance 6.0.0 stable. Because
lance 6.0.0 directly uses object_store 0.12 while main has moved to
object_store 0.13, the change also reverts the object_store 0.13 port
from #3348:
* workspace `object_store` pin back to 0.12
* `rust/lancedb` aws feature no longer enables `object_store/aws`
* `MirroringObjectStore` and `IoTrackingStore` restored to the 0.12
trait shape (overrides for `copy`, `delete`, `head`, etc. — no
`copy_opts`/`rename_opts`/new `delete_stream` signature)
* `listing.rs`: `Path::clone().join(...)` → `Path::child(...)`
* `python/pyproject.toml`: `pylance>=6.0.0` (stable)
* `java/pom.xml`: `lance-core` 6.0.0

This wires Lance's existing `jieba/*` and `lindera/*` native FTS
tokenizers through the Python SDK instead of leaving them behind
disabled features and narrow public typing. It also documents the
`LANCE_LANGUAGE_MODEL_HOME` model layout and adds Python coverage for
successful CJK indexing plus missing-model error guidance.
Closes#2168.
## Summary
PyTorch's `DataLoader` uses fork-based multiprocessing by default on
Linux, but threads do not survive `fork()`. LanceDB's Python bindings
drive async work through two threaded layers, both of which become inert
in a forked child:
- `BackgroundEventLoop` runs an asyncio loop on a Python
`threading.Thread`.
- `pyo3-async-runtimes::tokio` holds a global multi-threaded tokio
runtime whose worker threads also die on fork — and its runtime lives in
a `OnceLock` that cannot be replaced after first use.
As a result, any `Permutation` (or other async API) used inside a
fork-based `DataLoader` worker hangs indefinitely. This PR makes both
layers fork-safe so `Permutation` works as a `torch.utils.data.Dataset`
with `num_workers > 0`.
## Approach
### Rust — new `python/src/runtime.rs`
Mirrors the pattern used in [Lance's Python
bindings](456198cd6f/python/src/lib.rs (L139)),
adapted for the async-bridge use case.
- `LanceRuntime` implements `pyo3_async_runtimes::generic::Runtime +
ContextExt`, backed by an `AtomicPtr<tokio::runtime::Runtime>` we own
(sidestepping `pyo3-async-runtimes`'s frozen `OnceLock` global).
- A `pthread_atfork(after_in_child)` handler nulls the pointer; the next
`spawn` rebuilds the runtime in the child. The previous runtime is
intentionally **leaked** — calling `Drop` would try to join now-dead
worker threads and hang.
- `runtime::future_into_py` is a drop-in for
`pyo3_async_runtimes::tokio::future_into_py`. All ~80 call sites in
`arrow.rs` / `connection.rs` / `permutation.rs` / `query.rs` /
`table.rs` are updated to route through it.
- `python/Cargo.toml` adds `libc = "0.2"` and the tokio
`rt-multi-thread` feature.
### Python — `lancedb/background_loop.py`
- Refactors `BackgroundEventLoop.__init__` to a reusable `_start()`
method.
- An `os.register_at_fork(after_in_child=…)` hook calls `LOOP._start()`
to give the singleton a fresh asyncio loop and thread **in place**. This
matters because the rest of the codebase imports `LOOP` via `from
.background_loop import LOOP` — rebinding the module attribute would
leave those references holding the dead loop.
### Python — `lancedb/__init__.py`
Removes the `__warn_on_fork` pre-fork warning (and the now-unused
`import warnings`). Fork is supported.
## Test plan
- [x] New `test_permutation_dataloader_fork_workers` in
`python/tests/test_torch.py`: runs a `Permutation` through
`torch.utils.data.DataLoader(num_workers=2,
multiprocessing_context="fork")` inside a spawn-isolated child with a
30s hang detector. **Pre-fix**: timed out at 36s. **Post-fix**: passes
in ~3.6s.
- [x] New `test_remote_connection_after_fork` in
`python/tests/test_remote_db.py`: forks a child that creates a fresh
`lancedb.connect(...)` against a mock HTTP server and calls
`table_names()`; passes in <1s, validates the runtime reset is
sufficient for fresh remote clients.
- [x] All 62 tests in `test_torch.py` + `test_permutation.py` pass.
- [x] All 35 tests in `test_remote_db.py` pass.
- [x] `test_table.py` (87) + `test_db.py` + `test_query.py` (157, minus
one unrelated `sentence_transformers` import skip) — 244 passing.
- [x] `cargo clippy -p lancedb-python --tests` clean.
- [x] `cargo fmt`, `ruff check`, `ruff format` all clean.
## Known limitation (follow-up)
This PR makes a **freshly-built** `lancedb.connect(...)` work in a
forked child. An **inherited** `Connection` from the parent still
carries an inherited `reqwest::Client` whose hyper connection pool
references socket FDs and TCP/TLS state shared with the parent — using
it from the child after fork is unsafe (especially with HTTP/1.1
keep-alive). The recommended pattern for fork-based `DataLoader` workers
that hit a remote DB is to construct a new connection inside the worker.
Auto-clearing inherited HTTP client pools on fork would require tracking
live `Connection` instances in `lancedb` core and is left for a
follow-up PR.

- Add advisory ignore for the legacy `rustls-webpki` 0.101.7 copy pinned
to the aws-smithy/rustls 0.21 chain (same chain already exempted for
RUSTSEC-2026-0098/0099)
Fixes the `deny` CI job failure seen in #3325.

Adds a `deny.toml` at the workspace root and a `deny` CI job that runs
`cargo deny check` on every PR. Catches yanked crates, license drift,
banned or wildcard dependencies, unapproved sources, and new RUSTSEC
advisories.
As part of wiring this up:
- Updated `aws-lc-rs` 1.13.0 → 1.16.3 / `aws-lc-sys` 0.28.0 → 0.40.0 to
clear four 2026 AWS-LC advisories (timing side-channel, PKCS7 bypass,
CRL scope). Removed the `=0.28.0` workaround pin; the original build
failure no longer reproduces.
- Updated `bytes`, `zlib-rs`, `rand`, `rustls-webpki`, `lz4_flex` to
clear their current advisories.
- Marked `lancedb-nodejs` and `lancedb-python` as `publish = false` and
pinned `lzma-sys` from `*` to `0.1` so `bans.wildcards = "deny"` can
be enforced.
10 remaining advisories have no safe upgrade available (transitive via
opendal, lance, datafusion, async-openai, aws-sdk on the legacy rustls
0.21 chain). Each is ignored in `deny.toml` with a per-entry rationale
and a link to the RUSTSEC advisory. New advisories still fail CI.

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.

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.
