Bump version: 0.22.0-beta.8 → 0.22.0-beta.9

I added a timeout to query execution options in
https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/pull/2288. However, this was send to
the request timeout, but the retry implementation is unaware of this
timeout. So once the query timed out, a retry would be triggered.
Instead, this PR changes it so the timeout happens outside the retry
loop.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved query timeout handling to provide clearer error messages and
more reliable cancellation if a query takes too long to complete.

+# Contributing to LanceDB
+
+LanceDB is an open-source project and we welcome contributions from the community.
+This document outlines the process for contributing to LanceDB.
+
+## Reporting Issues
+
+If you encounter a bug or have a feature request, please open an issue on the
+[GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb).
+
+## Picking an issue
+
+We track issues on the GitHub issue tracker. If you are looking for something to
+work on, check the [good first issue](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/contribute) label. These issues are typically the best described and have the smallest scope.
+
+If there's an issue you are interested in working on, please leave a comment on the issue. This will help us avoid duplicate work. Additionally, if you have questions about the issue, please ask them in the issue comments. We are happy to provide guidance on how to approach the issue.
+
+## Configuring Git
+
+First, fork the repository on GitHub, then clone your fork:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/<username>/lancedb.git
+cd lancedb
+```
+
+Then add the main repository as a remote:
+
+```bash
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb.git
+git fetch upstream
+```
+
+## Setting up your development environment
+
+We have development environments for Python, Typescript, and Java. Each environment has its own setup instructions.
+
+* [Python](python/CONTRIBUTING.md)
+* [Typescript](nodejs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
+<!-- TODO: add Java contributing guide -->
+* [Documentation](docs/README.md)
+
+
+## Best practices for pull requests
+
+For the best chance of having your pull request accepted, please follow these guidelines:
+
+1. Unit test all bug fixes and new features. Your code will not be merged if it
+   doesn't have tests.
+1. If you change the public API, update the documentation in the `docs` directory.
+1. Aim to minimize the number of changes in each pull request. Keep to solving
+   one problem at a time, when possible.
+1. Before marking a pull request ready-for-review, do a self review of your code.
+   Is it clear why you are making the changes? Are the changes easy to understand?
+1. Use [conventional commit messages](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/) as pull request titles. Examples:
+    * New feature: `feat: adding foo API`
+    * Bug fix: `fix: issue with foo API`
+    * Documentation change: `docs: adding foo API documentation`
+1. If your pull request is a work in progress, leave the pull request as a draft.
+   We will assume the pull request is ready for review when it is opened.
+1. When writing tests, test the error cases. Make sure they have understandable
+   error messages.
+
+## Project structure
+
+The core library is written in Rust. The Python, Typescript, and Java libraries
+are wrappers around the Rust library.
+
+* `src/lancedb`: Rust library source code
+* `python`: Python package source code
+* `nodejs`: Typescript package source code
+* `node`: **Deprecated** Typescript package source code
+* `java`: Java package source code
+* `docs`: Documentation source code

+Docs is built and deployed automatically by [Github Actions](../.github/workflows/docs.yml)
 whenever a commit is pushed to the `main` branch. So it is possible for the docs to show
 unreleased features.
 
 ## Building the docs
 
 ### Setup
-1. Install LanceDB. From LanceDB repo root: `pip install -e python`
-2. Install dependencies. From LanceDB repo root: `pip install -r docs/requirements.txt`
-3. Make sure you have node and npm setup
-4. Make sure protobuf and libssl are installed
+1. Install LanceDB Python. See setup in [Python contributing guide](../python/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+   Run `make develop` to install the Python package.
+2. Install documentation dependencies. From LanceDB repo root: `pip install -r docs/requirements.txt`
 
-### Building node module and create markdown files
+### Preview the docs
 
-See [Javascript docs README](./src/javascript/README.md)
-
-### Build docs
-From LanceDB repo root:
-
-Run: `PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml`
-
-If successful, you should see a `docs/site` directory that you can verify locally.
-
-### Run local server
-
-You can run a local server to test the docs prior to deployment by navigating to the `docs` directory and running the following command:
-
-```bash
+```shell
 cd docs
 mkdocs serve
 ```
 
-### Run doctest for typescript example
+If you want to just generate the HTML files:
 
-```bash
-cd lancedb/docs
-npm i
-npm run build
-npm run all
+```shell
+PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml
+```
+
+If successful, you should see a `docs/site` directory that you can verify locally.
+
+## Adding examples
+
+To make sure examples are correct, we put examples in test files so they can be
+run as part of our test suites.
+
+You can see the tests are at:
+
+* Python: `python/python/tests/docs`
+* Typescript: `nodejs/examples/`
+
+### Checking python examples
+
+```shell
+cd python
+pytest -vv python/tests/docs
+```
+
+### Checking typescript examples
+
+The `@lancedb/lancedb` package must be built before running the tests:
+
+```shell
+pushd nodejs
+npm ci
+npm run build
+popd
+```
+
+Then you can run the examples by going to the `nodejs/examples` directory and
+running the tests like a normal npm package:
+
+```shell
+pushd nodejs/examples
+npm ci
+npm test
+popd
+```
+
+## API documentation
+
+### Python
+
+The Python API documentation is organized based on the file `docs/src/python/python.md`.
+We manually add entries there so we can control the organization of the reference page.
+**However, this means any new types must be manually added to the file.** No additional
+steps are needed to generate the API documentation.
+
+### Typescript
+
+The typescript API documentation is generated from the typescript source code using [typedoc](https://typedoc.org/).
+
+When new APIs are added, you must manually re-run the typedoc command to update the API documentation.
+The new files should be checked into the repository.
+
+```shell
+pushd nodejs
+npm run docs
+popd
 ```

+# Variable and Secrets
+
+Most embedding configuration options are saved in the table's metadata. However,
+this isn't always appropriate. For example, API keys should never be stored in the
+metadata. Additionally, other configuration options might be best set at runtime,
+such as the `device` configuration that controls whether to use GPU or CPU for
+inference. If you hardcoded this to GPU, you wouldn't be able to run the code on
+a server without one.
+
+To handle these cases, you can set variables on the embedding registry and
+reference them in the embedding configuration. These variables will be available
+during the runtime of your program, but not saved in the table's metadata. When
+the table is loaded from a different process, the variables must be set again.
+
+To set a variable, use the `set_var()` / `setVar()` method on the embedding registry.
+To reference a variable, use the syntax `$env:VARIABLE_NAME`. If there is a default
+value, you can use the syntax `$env:VARIABLE_NAME:DEFAULT_VALUE`.
+
+## Using variables to set secrets
+
+Sensitive configuration, such as API keys, must either be set as environment
+variables or using variables on the embedding registry. If you pass in a hardcoded
+value, LanceDB will raise an error. Instead, if you want to set an API key via

+Many embedding functions that run locally have a `device` parameter that controls

+it's helpful to be able to set the `device` parameter at runtime, rather than
+have it hard coded in the embedding configuration. To make it work even if the
+variable isn't set, you could provide a default value of `cpu` in the embedding
+configuration.
+
+Some embedding libraries even have a method to detect which devices are available,

+you can check if a CUDA GPU is available using `torch.cuda.is_available()`.

+# Late interaction & MultiVector embedding type
+Late interaction is a technique used in retrieval that calculates the relevance of a query to a document by comparing their multi-vector representations. The key difference between late interaction and other popular methods:
+
+![late interaction vs other methods](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lancedb/assets/b035a0ceb2c237734e0d393054c146d289792339/docs/assets/integration/colbert-blog-interaction.svg)
+
+
+[ Illustration from https://jina.ai/news/what-is-colbert-and-late-interaction-and-why-they-matter-in-search/]
+
+<b>No interaction:</b> Refers to independently embedding the query and document, that are compared to calcualte similarity without any interaction between them. This is typically used in vector search operations.
+
+<b>Partial interaction</b> Refers to a specific approach where the similarity computation happens primarily between query vectors and document vectors, without extensive interaction between individual components of each. An example of this is dual-encoder models like BERT.
+
+<b>Early full interaction</b> Refers to techniques like cross-encoders that process query and docs in pairs with full interaction across various stages of encoding. This is a powerful, but relatively slower technique. Because it requires processing query and docs in pairs, doc embeddings can't be pre-computed for fast retrieval. This is why cross encoders are typically used as reranking models combined with vector search. Learn more about [LanceDB Reranking support](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/reranking/).
+
+<b>Late interaction</b> Late interaction is a technique that calculates the doc and query similarity independently and then the interaction or evaluation happens during the retrieval process. This is typically used in retrieval models like ColBERT. Unlike early interaction, It allows speeding up the retrieval process without compromising the depth of semantic analysis.
+
+## Internals of ColBERT 
+Let's take a look at the steps involved in performing late interaction based retrieval using ColBERT:
+
+• ColBERT employs BERT-based encoders for both queries `(fQ)` and documents `(fD)`
+• A single BERT model is shared between query and document encoders and special tokens distinguish input types: `[Q]` for queries and `[D]` for documents
+
+**Query Encoder (fQ):**
+• Query q is tokenized into WordPiece tokens: `q1, q2, ..., ql`. `[Q]` token is prepended right after BERT's `[CLS]` token
+• If query length < Nq, it's padded with [MASK] tokens up to Nq.
+• The padded sequence goes through BERT's transformer architecture
+• Final embeddings are L2-normalized.
+
+**Document Encoder (fD):**
+• Document d is tokenized into tokens `d1, d2, ..., dm`. `[D]` token is prepended after `[CLS]` token
+• Unlike queries, documents are NOT padded with `[MASK]` tokens
+• Document tokens are processed through BERT and the same linear layer
+
+**Late Interaction:**
+• Late interaction estimates relevance score `S(q,d)` using embedding `Eq` and `Ed`. Late interaction happens after independent encoding
+• For each query embedding, maximum similarity is computed against all document embeddings
+• The similarity measure can be cosine similarity or squared L2 distance
+
+**MaxSim Calculation:**
+```
+S(q,d) := Σ max(Eqi⋅EdjT)
+          i∈|Eq| j∈|Ed|
+```
+• This finds the best matching document embedding for each query embedding
+• Captures relevance based on strongest local matches between contextual embeddings
+
+## LanceDB MultiVector type
+LanceDB supports multivector type, this is useful when you have multiple vectors for a single item (e.g. with ColBert and ColPali).
+
+You can index on a column with multivector type and search on it, the query can be single vector or multiple vectors. For now, only cosine metric is supported for multivector search. The vector value type can be float16, float32 or float64. LanceDB integrateds [ConteXtualized Token Retriever(XTR)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.01982), which introduces a simple, yet novel, objective function that encourages the model to retrieve the most important document tokens first. 
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+import numpy as np
+import pyarrow as pa
+
+db = lancedb.connect("data/multivector_demo")
+schema = pa.schema(
+    [

+        # float16, float32, and float64 are supported
+        pa.field("vector", pa.list_(pa.list_(pa.float32(), 256))),
+    ]
+)

+        "id": i,
+        "vector": np.random.random(size=(2, 256)).tolist(),
+    }

@@ -0,0 +1,135 @@
+The merge insert command is a flexible API that can be used to perform:
+
+1. Upsert
+2. Insert-if-not-exists
+3. Replace range
+
+It works by joining the input data with the target table on a key you provide.
+Often this key is a unique row id key. You can then specify what to do when
+there is a match and when there is not a match. For example, for upsert you want
+to update if the row has a match and insert if the row doesn't have a match.
+Whereas for insert-if-not-exists you only want to insert if the row doesn't have
+a match.
+

+* Typescript: [lancedb.Table.mergeInsert](../../js/classes/Table.md/#mergeinsert)
+
+!!! tip "Use scalar indices to speed up merge insert"
+
+    The merge insert command needs to perform a join between the input data and the
+    target table on the `on` key you provide. This requires scanning that entire
+    column, which can be expensive for large tables. To speed up this operation,
+    you can create a scalar index on the `on` column, which will allow LanceDB to
+    find matches without having to scan the whole tables.
+
+    Read more about scalar indices in [Building a Scalar Index](../scalar_index.md)
+    guide.
+
+!!! info "Embedding Functions"
+
+    Like the create table and add APIs, the merge insert API will automatically
+    compute embeddings if the table has a embedding definition in its schema.
+    If the input data doesn't contain the source column, or the vector column
+    is already filled, then the embeddings won't be computed. See the
+    [Embedding Functions](../../embeddings/embedding_functions.md) guide for more
+    information.
+
+## Upsert
+
+Upsert updates rows if they exist and inserts them if they don't. To do this
+with merge insert, enable both `when_matched_update_all()` and
+`when_not_matched_insert_all()`.

+
+!!! note "Providing subsets of columns"
+
+    If a column is nullable, it can be omitted from input data and it will be
+    considered `null`. Columns can also be provided in any order.
+
+## Insert-if-not-exists
+
+To avoid inserting duplicate rows, you can use the insert-if-not-exists command.
+This will only insert rows that do not have a match in the target table. To do
+this with merge insert, enable just `when_not_matched_insert_all()`.

+
+
+## Replace range
+
+You can also replace a range of rows in the target table with the input data.
+For example, if you have a table of document chunks, where each chunk has
+both a `doc_id` and a `chunk_id`, you can replace all chunks for a given
+`doc_id` with updated chunks. This can be tricky otherwise because if you
+try to use upsert when the new data has fewer chunks you will end up with
+extra chunks. To avoid this, add another clause to delete any chunks for
+the document that are not in the new data, with
+`when_not_matched_by_source_delete`.

 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.

-
-to automatically fix all fixable issues:
-
-```sh

+# Contributing to LanceDB Typescript
+
+This document outlines the process for contributing to LanceDB Typescript.
+For general contribution guidelines, see [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+## Project layout
+
+The Typescript package is a wrapper around the Rust library, `lancedb`. We use
+the [napi-rs](https://napi.rs/) library to create the bindings between Rust and
+Typescript.
+
+* `src/`: Rust bindings source code
+* `lancedb/`: Typescript package source code
+* `__test__/`: Unit tests
+* `examples/`: An npm package with the examples shown in the documentation
+
+## Development environment
+
+To set up your development environment, you will need to install the following:
+
+1. Node.js 14 or later
+2. Rust's package manager, Cargo. Use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) to install.
+3. [protoc](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/) (Protocol Buffers compiler)
+
+Initial setup:
+
+```shell
+npm install
+```
+
+### Commit Hooks
+
+It is **highly recommended** to install the [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) hooks to ensure that your
+code is formatted correctly and passes basic checks before committing:
+
+```shell
+pre-commit install
+```
+
+## Development
+
+Most common development commands can be run using the npm scripts.
+
+Build the package
+
+```shell
+npm install
+npm run build
+```
+
+Lint:
+
+```shell
+npm run lint
+```
+
+Format and fix lints:
+
+```shell
+npm run lint-fix
+```
+
+Run tests:
+
+```shell
+npm test
+```
+
+To run a single test:
+
+```shell
+# Single file: table.test.ts
+npm test -- table.test.ts
+# Single test: 'merge insert' in table.test.ts

+but that behavior is subject to change.
+
+An optional condition may be specified.  If it is, then only
+matched rows that satisfy the condtion will be updated.  Any
+rows that do not satisfy the condition will be left as they
+are.  Failing to satisfy the condition does not cause a
+"matched row" to become a "not matched" row.
+
+The condition should be an SQL string.  Use the prefix
+target. to refer to rows in the target table (old data)
+and the prefix source. to refer to rows in the source
+table (new data).
+
+For example, "target.last_update < source.last_update"

+"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
+l2 norm is 1), then dot distance is equivalent to the cosine distance.

+
+### numPartitions?
+
+```ts
+optional numPartitions: number;
+```
+
+The number of IVF partitions to create.
+
+For HNSW, we recommend a small number of partitions. Setting this to 1 works
+well for most tables. For very large tables, training just one HNSW graph
+will require too much memory. Each partition becomes its own HNSW graph, so
+setting this value higher reduces the peak memory use of training.
+
+***
+
+### numSubVectors?
+
+```ts
+optional numSubVectors: number;
+```
+
+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 ideal and
+will likely result in poor performance.
+
+***
+
+### sampleRate?
+
+```ts
+optional sampleRate: number;
+```
+
+The rate used to calculate the number of training vectors for kmeans.
+
+Default value is 256.
+
+When an IVF 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 algorithm called kmeans.
+
+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 the sample.  The total
+number of vectors used to train the index is `sample_rate * num_partitions`.
+
+Increasing this value might improve the quality of the index but in most cases the
+default should be sufficient.

+
+"l2" - Euclidean distance. This is a very common distance metric that
+accounts for both magnitude and direction when determining the distance

+"cosine" - Cosine distance.  Cosine distance is a distance metric

+
+Distance type to use to build the index.
+
+Default value is "l2".
+
+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).
+
+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

+
+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
+l2 norm is 1), then dot distance is equivalent to the cosine distance.
+
+"hamming" - Hamming distance. Hamming distance is a distance metric

+Hamming distance has a range of [0, dimension]. Note that the hamming distance
+is only valid for binary vectors.

+By default the number of partitions is the square root of the number of
+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.
