+This section provides answers to the most common questions asked about LanceDB Cloud. By following these guidelines, you can ensure a smooth, performant experience with LanceDB Cloud.
+
+### Should I reuse the database connection?
+Yes! It is recommended to establish a single database connection and maintain it throughout your interaction with the tables within. 
+
+LanceDB uses HTTP connections to communicate with the servers. By re-using the Connection object, you avoid the overhead of repeatedly establishing HTTP connections, significantly improving efficiency.
+
+### Should I re-use the `Table` object?
+`table = db.open_table()` should be called once and used for all subsequent table operations. If there are changes to the opened table, `table` always reflect the **latest version** of the data. 
+
+### What should I do if I need to search for rows by `id`?
+LanceDB Cloud currently does not support an ID or primary key column. You are recommended to add a 
+user-defined ID column. To significantly improve the query performance with SQL causes, a scalar BITMAP/BTREE index should be created on this column. 
+
+### What are the vector indexing types supported by LanceDB Cloud?
+We support `IVF_PQ` and `IVF_HNSW_SQ` as the `index_type` which is passed to `create_index`. LanceDB Cloud tunes the indexing parameters automatically to achieve the best tradeoff between query latency and query quality.
+
+### When I add new rows to a table, do I need to manually update the index?
+No! LanceDB Cloud triggers an asynchronous background job to index the new vectors.
+
+Even though indexing is asynchronous, your vectors will still be immediately searchable. LanceDB uses brute-force search to search over unindexed rows. This makes you new data is immediately available, but does increase latency temporarily. To disable the brute-force part of search, set the `fast_search` flag in your query to `true`.
+
+### Do I need to reindex the whole dataset if only a small portion of the data is deleted or updated?
+No! Similar to adding data to the table, LanceDB Cloud triggers an asynchronous background job to update the existing indices. Therefore, no action is needed from users and there is absolutely no 
+downtime expected.
+
+### How do I know whether an index has been created?
+While index creation in LanceDB Cloud is generally fast, querying immediately after a `create_index` call may result in errors. It's recommended to use `list_indices` to verify index creation before querying.
+
+### Why is my query latency higher than expected?
+Multiple factors can impact query latency. To reduce query latency, consider the following:
+- Send pre-warm queries: send a few queries to warm up the cache before an actual user query.
+- Check network latency: LanceDB Cloud is hosted in AWS `us-east-1` region. It is recommended to run queries from an EC2 instance that is in the same region.
+- Create scalar indices: If you are filtering on metadata, it is recommended to create scalar indices on those columns. This will speedup searches with metadata filtering. See [here](../guides/scalar_index.md) for more details on creating a scalar index.

 # Rust-backed Client Migration Guide

-In an effort to ensure all clients have the same set of capabilities we have begun migrating the
-python and node clients onto a common Rust base library. In python, this new client is part of
-the same lancedb package, exposed as an asynchronous client. Once the asynchronous client has
-reached full functionality we will begin migrating the synchronous library to be a thin wrapper
-around the asynchronous client.
+In an effort to ensure all clients have the same set of capabilities we have
+migrated the Python and Node clients onto a common Rust base library. In Python,
+both the synchronous and asynchronous clients are based on this implementation.
+In Node, the new client is available as `@lancedb/lancedb`, which replaces
+the existing `vectordb` package.

+This guide describes the differences between the two Node APIs and will hopefully assist users
 that would like to migrate to the new API.

-## Python
-### Closeable Connections
-
-The Connection now has a `close` method. You can call this when
-you are done with the connection to eagerly free resources. Currently
-this is limited to freeing/closing the HTTP connection for remote
-connections. In the future we may add caching or other resources to
-native connections so this is probably a good practice even if you
-aren't using remote connections.
-
-In addition, the connection can be used as a context manager which may
-be a more convenient way to ensure the connection is closed.
-
-```python
-import lancedb
-
-async def my_async_fn():
-    with await lancedb.connect_async("my_uri") as db:
-        print(await db.table_names())
-```
-
-It is not mandatory to call the `close` method. If you do not call it
-then the connection will be closed when the object is garbage collected.
-
-### Closeable Table
-
-The Table now also has a `close` method, similar to the connection. This
-can be used to eagerly free the cache used by a Table object. Similar to
-the connection, it can be used as a context manager and it is not mandatory
-to call the `close` method.
-
-#### Changes to Table APIs
-
- Previously `Table.schema` was a property. Now it is an async method.
- The method `Table.__len__` was removed and `len(table)` will no longer
-  work. Use `Table.count_rows` instead.
-
-#### Creating Indices
-
-The `Table.create_index` method is now used for creating both vector indices
-and scalar indices. It currently requires a column name to be specified (the
-column to index). Vector index defaults are now smarter and scale better with
-the size of the data.
-
-To specify index configuration details you will need to specify which kind of
-index you are using.
-
-#### Querying
-
-The `Table.search` method has been renamed to `AsyncTable.vector_search` for
-clarity.
-
-### Features not yet supported
-
-The following features are not yet supported by the asynchronous API. However,
-we plan to support them soon.
-
- You cannot specify an embedding function when creating or opening a table.
-  You must calculate embeddings yourself if using the asynchronous API
- The merge insert operation is not supported in the asynchronous API
- Cleanup / compact / optimize indices are not supported in the asynchronous API
- add / alter columns is not supported in the asynchronous API
- The asynchronous API does not yet support any full text search or reranking
-  search
- Remote connections to LanceDb Cloud are not yet supported.
- The method Table.head is not yet supported.

+    ----------
+    distance_type: str, default "L2"
+        The distance metric used to train the index
+
+        This is used when training the index to calculate the IVF partitions
+        (vectors are grouped in partitions with similar vectors according to this
+        distance type) and to calculate a subvector's code during quantization.
+
+        The distance type used to train an index MUST match the distance type used
+        to search the index.  Failure to do so will yield inaccurate results.
+
+        The following distance types are available:
+
+        "l2" - Euclidean distance. This is a very common distance metric that
+        accounts for both magnitude and direction when determining the distance
+        between vectors. L2 distance has a range of [0, ∞).
+
+        "cosine" - Cosine distance.  Cosine distance is a distance metric
+        calculated from the cosine similarity between two vectors. Cosine
+        similarity is a measure of similarity between two non-zero vectors of an
+        inner product space. It is defined to equal the cosine of the angle
+        between them.  Unlike L2, the cosine distance is not affected by the
+        magnitude of the vectors.  Cosine distance has a range of [0, 2].

+        "dot" - Dot product. Dot distance is the dot product of two vectors. Dot
+        distance has a range of (-∞, ∞). If the vectors are normalized (i.e. their

+    num_partitions: int, default sqrt(num_rows)
+        The number of IVF partitions to create.
+
+        This value should generally scale with the number of rows in the dataset.

+        rows.
+
+        If this value is too large then the first part of the search (picking the
+        right partition) will be slow.  If this value is too small then the second
+        part of the search (searching within a partition) will be slow.
+    num_sub_vectors: int, default is vector dimension / 16
+        Number of sub-vectors of PQ.
+
+        This value controls how much the vector is compressed during the
+        quantization step.  The more sub vectors there are the less the vector is
+        compressed.  The default is the dimension of the vector divided by 16.  If
+        the dimension is not evenly divisible by 16 we use the dimension divded by
+        8.
+
+        The above two cases are highly preferred.  Having 8 or 16 values per
+        subvector allows us to use efficient SIMD instructions.
+
+        If the dimension is not visible by 8 then we use 1 subvector.  This is not

+    num_bits: int, default 8
+        Number of bits to encode each sub-vector.
+
+        This value controls how much the sub-vectors are compressed.  The more bits

+        bits.  Only 4 and 8 are supported.
+    max_iterations: int, default 50
+        Max iteration to train kmeans.
+
+        When training an IVF PQ index we use kmeans to calculate the partitions.
+        This parameter controls how many iterations of kmeans to run.
+
+        Increasing this might improve the quality of the index but in most cases
+        these extra iterations have diminishing returns.
+

+
+        When an IVF PQ index is trained, we need to calculate partitions.  These
+        are groups of vectors that are similar to each other.  To do this we use an

+
+        Running kmeans on a large dataset can be slow.  To speed this up we run
+        kmeans on a random sample of the data.  This parameter controls the size of

-
-        Parameters
-        ----------
-        distance_type: str, default "L2"
-            The distance metric used to train the index
-
-            This is used when training the index to calculate the IVF partitions
-            (vectors are grouped in partitions with similar vectors according to this
-            distance type) and to calculate a subvector's code during quantization.
-
-            The distance type used to train an index MUST match the distance type used
-            to search the index.  Failure to do so will yield inaccurate results.
-
-            The following distance types are available:
-
-            "l2" - Euclidean distance. This is a very common distance metric that
-            accounts for both magnitude and direction when determining the distance
-            between vectors. L2 distance has a range of [0, ∞).
-
-            "cosine" - Cosine distance.  Cosine distance is a distance metric
-            calculated from the cosine similarity between two vectors. Cosine
-            similarity is a measure of similarity between two non-zero vectors of an
-            inner product space. It is defined to equal the cosine of the angle
-            between them.  Unlike L2, the cosine distance is not affected by the
-            magnitude of the vectors.  Cosine distance has a range of [0, 2].
-
-            Note: the cosine distance is undefined when one (or both) of the vectors
-            are all zeros (there is no direction).  These vectors are invalid and may
-            never be returned from a vector search.
-
-            "dot" - Dot product. Dot distance is the dot product of two vectors. Dot
-            distance has a range of (-∞, ∞). If the vectors are normalized (i.e. their

Will Jones	d11b2a6975	ci: fix python beta release to publish to fury (#1937 ) We have been publishing all releases--even preview ones--to PyPI. This was because of a faulty bash if statement. This PR fixes that conditional.	2024-12-13 14:19:14 -08:00
Will Jones	980aa70e2d	feat(python): async-sync feature parity on Table (#1914 ) ### Changes to sync API * Updated `LanceTable` and `LanceDBConnection` reprs * Add `storage_options`, `data_storage_version`, and `enable_v2_manifest_paths` to sync create table API. * Add `storage_options` to `open_table` in sync API. * Add `list_indices()` and `index_stats()` to sync API * `create_table()` will now create only 1 version when data is passed. Previously it would always create two versions: 1 to create an empty table and 1 to add data to it. ### Changes to async API * Add `embedding_functions` to async `create_table()` API. * Added `head()` to async API ### Refactors * Refactor index parameters into dataclasses so they are easier to use from Python * Moved most tests to use an in-memory DB so we don't need to create so many temp directories Closes #1792 Closes #1932 --------- Co-authored-by: Weston Pace <weston.pace@gmail.com>	2024-12-13 12:56:44 -08:00
