-LanceDB can handle concurrent reads very well, and can scale horizontally. The main constraint is how well the [storage layer](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/concepts/storage/) you've chosen scales. For writes, we support concurrent writing, though too many concurrent writers can lead to failing writes as there is a limited number of times a writer retries a commit

-!!! tip "Automatic cleanup for failed writes"
-
-    LanceDB uses [multi-part uploads](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/mpuoverview.html) when writing data to S3 in order to maximize write speed. LanceDB will abort these uploads when it shuts down gracefully, such as when cancelled by keyboard interrupt. However, in the rare case that LanceDB crashes, it is possible that some data will be left lingering in your account. To cleanup this data, we recommend (as AWS themselves do) that you setup a lifecycle rule to delete in-progress uploads after 7 days. See the AWS guide:
-
-    **[Configuring a bucket lifecycle configuration to delete incomplete multipart uploads](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/mpu-abort-incomplete-mpu-lifecycle-config.html)**
-
-#### AWS IAM Permissions
-
-If a bucket is private, then an IAM policy must be specified to allow access to it. For many development scenarios, using broad permissions such as a PowerUser account is more than sufficient for working with LanceDB. However, in many production scenarios, you may wish to have as narrow as possible permissions.

-# Hybrid Search
-
-Hybrid Search is a broad (often misused) term. It can mean anything from combining multiple methods for searching, to applying ranking methods to better sort the results. In this blog, we use the definition of "hybrid search" to mean using a combination of keyword-based and vector search.
-
-## The challenge of (re)ranking search results
-Once you have a group of the most relevant search results from multiple search sources, you'd likely standardize the score and rank them accordingly. This process can also be seen as another independent step - reranking.
-There are two approaches for reranking search results from multiple sources.
-* <b>Score-based</b>: Calculate final relevance scores based on a weighted linear combination of individual search algorithm scores. Example - Weighted linear combination of semantic search & keyword-based search results.
-* <b>Relevance-based</b>: Discards the existing scores and calculates the relevance of each search result - query pair. Example - Cross Encoder models
-
-Even though there are many strategies for reranking search results, none works for all cases. Moreover, evaluating them itself is a challenge. Also, reranking can be dataset, application specific so it's hard to generalize.
-
-### Example evaluation of hybrid search with Reranking
-
-Here's some evaluation numbers from experiment comparing these re-rankers on about 800 queries. It is modified version of an evaluation script from [llama-index](https://github.com/run-llama/finetune-embedding/blob/main/evaluate.ipynb) that measures hit-rate at top-k.

-### Conclusion
-
-The results show that the reranking methods are able to improve the search results. However, the improvement is not consistent across all rerankers. The choice of reranker depends on the dataset and the application. It is also important to note that the reranking methods are not a replacement for the search methods. They are complementary and should be used together to get the best results. The speed to recall tradeoff is also an important factor to consider when choosing the reranker.

-# Hybrid Search
-
-LanceDB supports both semantic and keyword-based search (also termed full-text search, or FTS). In real world applications, it is often useful to combine these two approaches to get the best best results. For example, you may want to search for a document that is semantically similar to a query document, but also contains a specific keyword. This is an example of *hybrid search*, a search algorithm that combines multiple search techniques.
-
-## Hybrid search in LanceDB
-You can perform hybrid search in LanceDB by combining the results of semantic and full-text search via a reranking algorithm of your choice. LanceDB provides multiple rerankers out of the box. However, you can always write a custom reranker if your use case need more sophisticated logic .

-
-By default, LanceDB uses `LinearCombinationReranker(weight=0.7)` to combine and rerank the results of semantic and full-text search. You can customize the hyperparameters as needed or write your own custom reranker. Here's how you can use any of the available rerankers:
-
-
-### `rerank()` arguments
-* `normalize`: `str`, default `"score"`:
-    The method to normalize the scores. Can be "rank" or "score". If "rank", the scores are converted to ranks and then normalized. If "score", the scores are normalized directly.
-* `reranker`: `Reranker`, default `LinearCombinationReranker(weight=0.7)`.
-    The reranker to use. If not specified, the default reranker is used.
-
-
-## Available Rerankers
-LanceDB provides a number of re-rankers out of the box. You can use any of these re-rankers by passing them to the `rerank()` method. Here's a list of available re-rankers:
-
-### Linear Combination Reranker
-This is the default re-ranker used by LanceDB. It combines the results of semantic and full-text search using a linear combination of the scores. The weights for the linear combination can be specified. It defaults to 0.7, i.e, 70% weight for semantic search and 30% weight for full-text search.
-
-
-```python
-from lancedb.rerankers import LinearCombinationReranker
-
-reranker = LinearCombinationReranker(weight=0.3) # Use 0.3 as the weight for vector search
-
-results = table.search("rebel", query_type="hybrid").rerank(reranker=reranker).to_pandas()
-```
-
-### Arguments
-----------------
-* `weight`: `float`, default `0.7`:
-    The weight to use for the semantic search score. The weight for the full-text search score is `1 - weights`.
-* `fill`: `float`, default `1.0`:
-        The score to give to results that are only in one of the two result sets.This is treated as penalty, so a higher value means a lower score.
-        TODO: We should just hardcode this-- its pretty confusing as we invert scores to calculate final score
-* `return_score` : str, default `"relevance"`
-        options are "relevance" or "all"
-        The type of score to return. If "relevance", will return only the `_relevance_score. If "all", will return all scores from the vector and FTS search along with the relevance score.
-
-### Cohere Reranker
-This re-ranker uses the [Cohere](https://cohere.ai/) API to combine the results of semantic and full-text search. You can use this re-ranker by passing `CohereReranker()` to the `rerank()` method. Note that you'll need to set the `COHERE_API_KEY` environment variable to use this re-ranker.
-
-```python
-from lancedb.rerankers import CohereReranker
-
-reranker = CohereReranker()
-
-results = table.search("vampire weekend", query_type="hybrid").rerank(reranker=reranker).to_pandas()
-```
-
-### Arguments
-----------------
-* `model_name` : str, default `"rerank-english-v2.0"`
-        The name of the cross encoder model to use. Available cohere models are:
-        - rerank-english-v2.0
-        - rerank-multilingual-v2.0
-* `column` : str, default `"text"`
-        The name of the column to use as input to the cross encoder model.
-* `top_n` : str, default `None`
-        The number of results to return. If None, will return all results.
-
-!!! Note
-    Only returns `_relevance_score`. Does not support `return_score = "all"`.
-
-### Cross Encoder Reranker
-This reranker uses the [Sentence Transformers](https://www.sbert.net/) library to combine the results of semantic and full-text search. You can use it by passing `CrossEncoderReranker()` to the `rerank()` method.
-
-```python
-from lancedb.rerankers import CrossEncoderReranker
-
-reranker = CrossEncoderReranker()
-
-results = table.search("harmony hall", query_type="hybrid").rerank(reranker=reranker).to_pandas()

-* `column` : str, default `"text"`
-        The name of the column to use as input to the cross encoder model.
-* `device` : str, default `None`
-        The device to use for the cross encoder model. If None, will use "cuda" if available, otherwise "cpu".
-
-!!! Note
-    Only returns `_relevance_score`. Does not support `return_score = "all"`.
-
-
-### ColBERT Reranker
-This reranker uses the ColBERT model to combine the results of semantic and full-text search. You can use it by passing `ColbertrReranker()` to the `rerank()` method. 
-
-ColBERT reranker model calculates relevance of given docs against the query and don't take existing fts and vector search scores into account, so it currently only supports `return_score="relevance"`. By default, it looks for `text` column to rerank the results. But you can specify the column name to use as input to the cross encoder model as described below.
-
-```python
-from lancedb.rerankers import ColbertReranker
-
-reranker = ColbertReranker()
-
-results = table.search("harmony hall", query_type="hybrid").rerank(reranker=reranker).to_pandas()
-```
-
-### Arguments
-----------------
-* `model_name` : `str`, default `"colbert-ir/colbertv2.0"`
-        The name of the cross encoder model to use.
-* `column` : `str`, default `"text"`
-        The name of the column to use as input to the cross encoder model.
-* `return_score` : `str`, default `"relevance"`
-        options are `"relevance"` or `"all"`. Only `"relevance"` is supported for now.
-
-!!! Note
-    Only returns `_relevance_score`. Does not support `return_score = "all"`.
-
-### OpenAI Reranker
-This reranker uses the OpenAI API to combine the results of semantic and full-text search. You can use it by passing `OpenaiReranker()` to the `rerank()` method.
-
-!!! Note
-    This prompts chat model to rerank results which is not a dedicated reranker model. This should be treated as experimental.
-
-!!! Tip
-    - You might run out of token limit so set the search `limits` based on your token limit.
-    - It is recommended to use gpt-4-turbo-preview, the default model, older models might lead to undesired behaviour
-
-```python
-from lancedb.rerankers import OpenaiReranker
-
-reranker = OpenaiReranker()
-
-results = table.search("harmony hall", query_type="hybrid").rerank(reranker=reranker).to_pandas()
-```
-
-### Arguments
-----------------
-* `model_name` : `str`, default `"gpt-4-turbo-preview"`
-    The name of the cross encoder model to use.
-* `column` : `str`, default `"text"`
-    The name of the column to use as input to the cross encoder model.
-* `return_score` : `str`, default `"relevance"`
-    options are "relevance" or "all". Only "relevance" is supported for now.
-* `api_key` : `str`, default `None`
-    The API key to use. If None, will use the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.
-
-
-## Building Custom Rerankers
-You can build your own custom reranker by subclassing the `Reranker` class and implementing the `rerank_hybrid()` method. Here's an example of a custom reranker that combines the results of semantic and full-text search using a linear combination of the scores.
-
-The `Reranker` base interface comes with a `merge_results()` method that can be used to combine the results of semantic and full-text search. This is a vanilla merging algorithm that simply concatenates the results and removes the duplicates without taking the scores into consideration. It only keeps the first copy of the row encountered. This works well in cases that don't require the scores of semantic and full-text search to combine the results. If you want to use the scores or want to support `return_score="all"`, you'll need to implement your own merging algorithm.
-
-```python
-
-from lancedb.rerankers import Reranker
-import pyarrow as pa
-
-class MyReranker(Reranker):
-    def __init__(self, param1, param2, ..., return_score="relevance"):
-        super().__init__(return_score)
-        self.param1 = param1
-        self.param2 = param2
-    
-    def rerank_hybrid(self, query: str, vector_results: pa.Table, fts_results: pa.Table):
-        # Use the built-in merging function
-        combined_result = self.merge_results(vector_results, fts_results)
-        
-        # Do something with the combined results
-        # ...
-
-        # Return the combined results
-        return combined_result
-
-```
-
-### Example of a Custom Reranker
-For the sake of simplicity let's build custom reranker that just enchances the Cohere Reranker by accepting a filter query, and accept other CohereReranker params as kwags.
-
-```python
-
-from typing import List, Union
-import pandas as pd
-from lancedb.rerankers import CohereReranker
-
-class MofidifiedCohereReranker(CohereReranker):
-    def __init__(self, filters: Union[str, List[str]], **kwargs):
-        super().__init__(**kwargs)
-        filters = filters if isinstance(filters, list) else [filters]
-        self.filters = filters
-
-    def rerank_hybrid(self, query: str, vector_results: pa.Table, fts_results: pa.Table)-> pa.Table:
-        combined_result = super().rerank_hybrid(query, vector_results, fts_results)
-        df = combined_result.to_pandas()
-        for filter in self.filters:
-            df = df.query("not text.str.contains(@filter)")
-
-        return pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
-
-```
-
-!!! tip
-    The `vector_results` and `fts_results` are pyarrow tables. You can convert them to pandas dataframes using `to_pandas()` method and perform any operations you want. After you are done, you can convert the dataframe back to pyarrow table using `pa.Table.from_pandas()` method and return it.

+### createScalarIndex
+
+▸ **createScalarIndex**(`column`, `replace`): `Promise`\<`void`\>
+
+Create a scalar index on this Table for the given column
+
+#### Parameters
+
+| Name | Type | Description |
+| :------ | :------ | :------ |
+| `column` | `string` | The column to index |
+| `replace` | `boolean` | If false, fail if an index already exists on the column Scalar indices, like vector indices, can be used to speed up scans. A scalar index can speed up scans that contain filter expressions on the indexed column. For example, the following scan will be faster if the column `my_col` has a scalar index: ```ts const con = await lancedb.connect('./.lancedb'); const table = await con.openTable('images'); const results = await table.where('my_col = 7').execute(); ``` Scalar indices can also speed up scans containing a vector search and a prefilter: ```ts const con = await lancedb.connect('././lancedb'); const table = await con.openTable('images'); const results = await table.search([1.0, 2.0]).where('my_col != 7').prefilter(true); ``` Scalar indices can only speed up scans for basic filters using equality, comparison, range (e.g. `my_col BETWEEN 0 AND 100`), and set membership (e.g. `my_col IN (0, 1, 2)`) Scalar indices can be used if the filter contains multiple indexed columns and the filter criteria are AND'd or OR'd together (e.g. `my_col < 0 AND other_col> 100`) Scalar indices may be used if the filter contains non-indexed columns but, depending on the structure of the filter, they may not be usable. For example, if the column `not_indexed` does not have a scalar index then the filter `my_col = 0 OR not_indexed = 1` will not be able to use any scalar index on `my_col`. |

+
+### delete
+
+▸ **delete**(`filter`): `Promise`\<`void`\>
+
+Delete rows from this table.
+
+This can be used to delete a single row, many rows, all rows, or
+sometimes no rows (if your predicate matches nothing).
+
+#### Parameters
+
+| Name | Type | Description |
+| :------ | :------ | :------ |
+| `filter` | `string` | A filter in the same format used by a sql WHERE clause. The filter must not be empty. |
+
+#### Returns
+
+`Promise`\<`void`\>
+
+**`Examples`**
+
+```ts
+const con = await lancedb.connect("./.lancedb")
+const data = [
+   {id: 1, vector: [1, 2]},
+   {id: 2, vector: [3, 4]},
+   {id: 3, vector: [5, 6]},
+];
+const tbl = await con.createTable("my_table", data)
+await tbl.delete("id = 2")
+await tbl.countRows() // Returns 2
+```
+
+If you have a list of values to delete, you can combine them into a
+stringified list and use the `IN` operator:
+
+```ts
+const to_remove = [1, 5];
+await tbl.delete(`id IN (${to_remove.join(",")})`)
+await tbl.countRows() // Returns 1
