Bump version: 0.24.2-beta.2 → 0.24.2

## Summary
Fixes IndexError when creating tables with empty list data and a
provided schema. Previously, `_into_pyarrow_reader()` would attempt to
access `data[0]` on empty lists, causing an IndexError. Now properly
handles empty lists by using the provided schema.

Also adds regression tests for GitHub issues #1968 and #303 to prevent
future regressions with empty table scenarios.

## Changes
- Fix IndexError in `_into_pyarrow_reader()` for empty list + schema
case
- Add Optional[pa.Schema] parameter to handle empty data gracefully  
- Add `test_create_table_empty_list_with_schema` for the IndexError fix
- Add `test_create_empty_then_add_data` for issue #1968
- Add `test_search_empty_table` for issue #303

## Test plan
- [x] All new regression tests pass
- [x] Existing tests continue to pass
- [x] Code formatted with `make format`

+LanceDB is a database designed for retrieval, including vector, full-text, and hybrid search.
+It is a wrapper around Lance. There are two backends: local (in-process like SQLite) and
+remote (against LanceDB Cloud).
+
+The core of LanceDB is written in Rust. There are bindings in Python, Typescript, and Java.
+
+Project layout:
+
+* `rust/lancedb`: The LanceDB core Rust implementation.
+* `python`: The Python bindings, using PyO3.
+* `nodejs`: The Typescript bindings, using napi-rs
+* `java`: The Java bindings
+
+(`rust/ffi` and `node/` are for a deprecated package. You can ignore them.)
+
+Common commands:
+
+* Check for compiler errors: `cargo check --features remote --tests --examples`
+* Run tests: `cargo test --features remote --tests`
+* Run specific test: `cargo test --features remote -p <package_name> --test <test_name>`
+* Lint: `cargo clippy --features remote --tests --examples`
+* Format: `cargo fmt --all`
+
+Before committing changes, run formatting.

+# SQL Querying
+
+You can use DuckDB and Apache Datafusion to query your LanceDB tables using SQL.
+This guide will show how to query Lance tables them using both.
+
+We will re-use the dataset [created previously](./tables.md):
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb")
+data = [
+    {"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
+    {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}
+]
+table = db.create_table("pd_table", data=data)
+```
+
+## Querying a LanceDB Table with DuckDb
+
+The `to_lance` method converts the LanceDB table to a `LanceDataset`, which is accessible to DuckDB through the Arrow compatibility layer.
+To query the resulting Lance dataset in DuckDB, all you need to do is reference the dataset by the same name in your SQL query.
+
+```python
+import duckdb
+
+arrow_table = table.to_lance()
+
+duckdb.query("SELECT * FROM arrow_table")
+```
+
+| vector      | item | price |

+
+### Installation
+```bash
+pnpm install genkitx-lancedb
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+Adding LanceDB plugin to your genkit instance.
+
+```ts
+import { lancedbIndexerRef, lancedb, lancedbRetrieverRef, WriteMode } from 'genkitx-lancedb';
+import { textEmbedding004, vertexAI } from '@genkit-ai/vertexai';
+import { gemini } from '@genkit-ai/vertexai';
+import { z, genkit } from 'genkit';
+import { Document } from 'genkit/retriever';
+import { chunk } from 'llm-chunk';
+import { readFile } from 'fs/promises';
+import path from 'path';
+import pdf from 'pdf-parse/lib/pdf-parse';
+
+const ai = genkit({
+  plugins: [
+    // vertexAI provides the textEmbedding004 embedder
+    vertexAI(),
+
+    // the local vector store requires an embedder to translate from text to vector
+    lancedb([
+      {
+        dbUri: '.db', // optional lancedb uri, default to .db
+        tableName: 'table', // optional table name, default to table
+        embedder: textEmbedding004,
+      },
+    ]),
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+You can run this app with the following command:
+```bash
+genkit start -- tsx --watch src/index.ts
+```
+
+This'll add LanceDB as a retriever and indexer to the genkit instance. You can see it in the GUI view

+# Apache Datafusion
+
+In Python, LanceDB tables can also be queried with [Apache Datafusion](https://datafusion.apache.org/), an extensible query engine written in Rust that uses Apache Arrow as its in-memory format. This means you can write complex SQL queries to analyze your data in LanceDB.
+
+This integration is done via [Datafusion FFI](https://docs.rs/datafusion-ffi/latest/datafusion_ffi/), which provides a native integration between LanceDB and Datafusion.
+The Datafusion FFI allows to pass down column selections and basic filters to LanceDB, reducing the amount of scanned data when executing your query. Additionally, the integration allows streaming data from LanceDB tables which allows to do aggregation larger-than-memory.
+
+We can demonstrate this by first installing `datafusion` and `lancedb`.
+
+```shell
+pip install datafusion lancedb
+```
+
+We will re-use the dataset [created previously](./pandas_and_pyarrow.md):
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+from datafusion import SessionContext
+from lance import FFILanceTableProvider
+
+db = lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb")
+data = [
+    {"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
+    {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}
+]
+lance_table = db.create_table("lance_table", data)
+
+ctx = SessionContext()
+
+ffi_lance_table = FFILanceTableProvider(
+    lance_table.to_lance(), with_row_id=True, with_row_addr=True
+)
+ctx.register_table_provider("ffi_lance_table", ffi_lance_table)
+```
+
+The `to_lance` method converts the LanceDB table to a `LanceDataset`, which is accessible to Datafusion through the Datafusion FFI integration layer.
+To query the resulting Lance dataset in Datafusion, you first need to register the dataset with Datafusion and then just reference it by the same name in your SQL query.
+
+```python
+ctx.table("ffi_lance_table")
+ctx.sql("SELECT * FROM ffi_lance_table")
+```
+
+```

+## Configuration and Initialization
+
+### LanceDB Cloud
+
+For LanceDB Cloud, use the simplified builder API:
+
+```java
+import com.lancedb.lance.namespace.LanceRestNamespace;
+
+// If your DB url is db://example-db, then your database here is example-db
+LanceRestNamespace namespace = LanceDBRestNamespaces.builder()
+    .apiKey("your_lancedb_cloud_api_key")
+    .database("your_database_name")
+    .build();
+```
+
+### LanceDB Enterprise
+
+For Enterprise deployments, use your VPC endpoint:
+
+```java
+LanceRestNamespace namespace = LanceDBRestNamespaces.builder()
+    .apiKey("your_lancedb_enterprise_api_key")
+    .database("your-top-dir") // Your top level folder under your cloud bucket, e.g. s3://your-bucket/your-top-dir/
+    .hostOverride("http://<vpc_endpoint_dns_name>:80")
+    .build();
+```
