+# Java SDK
+
+The LanceDB Java SDK provides a convenient way to interact with LanceDB Cloud and Enterprise deployments using the Lance REST Namespace API.
+
+!!! note
+    The Java SDK currently only works for LanceDB remote database that connects to LanceDB Cloud and Enterprise.
+    Local database support is a work in progress. Check [LANCEDB-2848](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/2848) for the latest progress.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add the following dependency to your `pom.xml`:
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>com.lancedb</groupId>
+    <artifactId>lancedb-core</artifactId>
+    <version>0.23.0</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Connecting to LanceDB Cloud
+
+```java
+import com.lancedb.LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder;
+import org.lance.namespace.LanceNamespace;
+
+// If your DB url is db://example-db, then your database here is example-db
+LanceNamespace namespaceClient = LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder.newBuilder()
+    .apiKey("your_lancedb_cloud_api_key")
+    .database("your_database_name")
+    .build();
+```
+
+### Connecting to LanceDB Enterprise
+
+For LanceDB Enterprise deployments with a custom endpoint:
+
+```java
+LanceNamespace namespaceClient = LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder.newBuilder()
+    .apiKey("your_lancedb_enterprise_api_key")
+    .database("your_database_name")
+    .endpoint("<your_enterprise_endpoint>")
+    .build();
+```
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+| Method | Description | Required |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| `apiKey(String)` | LanceDB API key | Yes |
+| `database(String)` | Database name | Yes |
+| `endpoint(String)` | Custom endpoint URL for Enterprise deployments | No |
+| `region(String)` | AWS region (default: "us-east-1") | No |
+| `config(String, String)` | Additional configuration parameters | No |
+
+## Metadata Operations
+
+### Creating a Namespace
+
+Namespaces organize tables hierarchically. Create a namespace before creating tables within it:
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.CreateNamespaceRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.CreateNamespaceResponse;
+
+// Create a child namespace
+CreateNamespaceRequest request = new CreateNamespaceRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace"));
+
+CreateNamespaceResponse response = namespaceClient.createNamespace(request);
+```
+
+You can also create nested namespaces:
+
+```java
+// Create a nested namespace: parent/child
+CreateNamespaceRequest request = new CreateNamespaceRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("parent_namespace", "child_namespace"));
+
+CreateNamespaceResponse response = namespaceClient.createNamespace(request);
+```
+
+### Describing a Namespace
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DescribeNamespaceRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DescribeNamespaceResponse;
+
+DescribeNamespaceRequest request = new DescribeNamespaceRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace"));
+
+DescribeNamespaceResponse response = namespaceClient.describeNamespace(request);
+System.out.println("Namespace properties: " + response.getProperties());
+```
+
+### Listing Namespaces
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.ListNamespacesRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.ListNamespacesResponse;
+
+// List all namespaces at root level
+ListNamespacesRequest request = new ListNamespacesRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList());  // Empty for root
+
+ListNamespacesResponse response = namespaceClient.listNamespaces(request);
+for (String ns : response.getNamespaces()) {
+    System.out.println("Namespace: " + ns);
+}
+
+// List child namespaces under a parent
+ListNamespacesRequest childRequest = new ListNamespacesRequest();
+childRequest.setId(Arrays.asList("parent_namespace"));
+
+ListNamespacesResponse childResponse = namespaceClient.listNamespaces(childRequest);
+```
+
+### Listing Tables
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.ListTablesRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.ListTablesResponse;
+
+// List tables in a namespace
+ListTablesRequest request = new ListTablesRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace"));
+
+ListTablesResponse response = namespaceClient.listTables(request);
+for (String table : response.getTables()) {
+    System.out.println("Table: " + table);
+}
+```
+
+### Dropping a Namespace
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DropNamespaceRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DropNamespaceResponse;
+
+DropNamespaceRequest request = new DropNamespaceRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace"));
+
+DropNamespaceResponse response = namespaceClient.dropNamespace(request);
+```
+
+### Describing a Table
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DescribeTableRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DescribeTableResponse;
+
+DescribeTableRequest request = new DescribeTableRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+
+DescribeTableResponse response = namespaceClient.describeTable(request);
+System.out.println("Table version: " + response.getVersion());
+System.out.println("Schema fields: " + response.getSchema().getFields());
+```
+
+### Dropping a Table
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DropTableRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DropTableResponse;
+
+DropTableRequest request = new DropTableRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+
+DropTableResponse response = namespaceClient.dropTable(request);
+```
+
+## Writing Data
+
+### Creating a Table
+
+Tables are created within a namespace by providing data in Apache Arrow IPC format:
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.LanceNamespace;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.CreateTableRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.CreateTableResponse;
+import org.apache.arrow.memory.BufferAllocator;
+import org.apache.arrow.memory.RootAllocator;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.IntVector;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.VarCharVector;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.VectorSchemaRoot;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.complex.FixedSizeListVector;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.Float4Vector;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.ipc.ArrowStreamWriter;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.types.FloatingPointPrecision;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.types.pojo.ArrowType;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.types.pojo.Field;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.types.pojo.FieldType;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.types.pojo.Schema;
+
+import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
+import java.nio.channels.Channels;
+import java.util.Arrays;
+
+// Create schema with id, name, and embedding fields
+Schema schema = new Schema(Arrays.asList(
+    new Field("id", FieldType.nullable(new ArrowType.Int(32, true)), null),
+    new Field("name", FieldType.nullable(new ArrowType.Utf8()), null),
+    new Field("embedding",
+        FieldType.nullable(new ArrowType.FixedSizeList(128)),
+        Arrays.asList(new Field("item",
+            FieldType.nullable(new ArrowType.FloatingPoint(FloatingPointPrecision.SINGLE)),
+            null)))
+));
+
+try (BufferAllocator allocator = new RootAllocator();
+     VectorSchemaRoot root = VectorSchemaRoot.create(schema, allocator)) {
+
+    // Populate data
+    root.setRowCount(3);
+    IntVector idVector = (IntVector) root.getVector("id");
+    VarCharVector nameVector = (VarCharVector) root.getVector("name");
+    FixedSizeListVector embeddingVector = (FixedSizeListVector) root.getVector("embedding");
+    Float4Vector embeddingData = (Float4Vector) embeddingVector.getDataVector();
+
+    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
+        idVector.setSafe(i, i + 1);
+        nameVector.setSafe(i, ("item_" + i).getBytes());
+        embeddingVector.setNotNull(i);
+        for (int j = 0; j < 128; j++) {
+            embeddingData.setSafe(i * 128 + j, (float) i);
+        }
+    }
+    idVector.setValueCount(3);
+    nameVector.setValueCount(3);
+    embeddingData.setValueCount(3 * 128);
+    embeddingVector.setValueCount(3);
+
+    // Serialize to Arrow IPC format
+    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
+    try (ArrowStreamWriter writer = new ArrowStreamWriter(root, null, Channels.newChannel(out))) {
+        writer.start();
+        writer.writeBatch();
+        writer.end();
+    }
+    byte[] tableData = out.toByteArray();
+
+    // Create table in a namespace
+    CreateTableRequest request = new CreateTableRequest();
+    request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+    CreateTableResponse response = namespaceClient.createTable(request, tableData);
+}
+```
+
+### Insert
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.InsertIntoTableRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.InsertIntoTableResponse;
+
+// Prepare data in Arrow IPC format (similar to create table example)
+byte[] insertData = prepareArrowData();
+
+InsertIntoTableRequest request = new InsertIntoTableRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+request.setMode(InsertIntoTableRequest.ModeEnum.APPEND);
+
+InsertIntoTableResponse response = namespaceClient.insertIntoTable(request, insertData);
+System.out.println("New version: " + response.getVersion());
+```
+
+### Update
+
+Update rows matching a predicate condition:
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.UpdateTableRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.UpdateTableResponse;
+
+UpdateTableRequest request = new UpdateTableRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+
+// Predicate to select rows to update
+request.setPredicate("id = 1");
+
+// Set new values using SQL expressions as [column_name, expression] pairs
+request.setUpdates(Arrays.asList(
+    Arrays.asList("name", "'updated_name'")
+));
+
+UpdateTableResponse response = namespaceClient.updateTable(request);
+System.out.println("Updated rows: " + response.getUpdatedRows());
+```
+
+### Delete
+
+Delete rows matching a predicate condition:
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DeleteFromTableRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.DeleteFromTableResponse;
+
+DeleteFromTableRequest request = new DeleteFromTableRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+
+// Predicate to select rows to delete
+request.setPredicate("id > 100");
+
+DeleteFromTableResponse response = namespaceClient.deleteFromTable(request);
+System.out.println("New version: " + response.getVersion());
+```
+
+### Merge Insert (Upsert)
+
+Merge insert allows you to update existing rows and insert new rows in a single operation based on a key column:
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.MergeInsertIntoTableRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.MergeInsertIntoTableResponse;
+
+// Prepare data with rows to update (id=2,3) and new rows (id=4)
+byte[] mergeData = prepareArrowData();  // Contains rows with id=2,3,4
+
+MergeInsertIntoTableRequest request = new MergeInsertIntoTableRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+
+// Match on the "id" column
+request.setOn("id");
+
+// Update all columns when a matching row is found
+request.setWhenMatchedUpdateAll(true);
+
+// Insert new rows when no match is found
+request.setWhenNotMatchedInsertAll(true);
+
+MergeInsertIntoTableResponse response = namespaceClient.mergeInsertIntoTable(request, mergeData);
+
+System.out.println("Updated rows: " + response.getNumUpdatedRows());
+System.out.println("Inserted rows: " + response.getNumInsertedRows());
+```
+
+## Querying Data
+
+### Counting Rows
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.CountTableRowsRequest;
+
+CountTableRowsRequest request = new CountTableRowsRequest();
+request.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+
+Long rowCount = namespaceClient.countTableRows(request);
+System.out.println("Row count: " + rowCount);
+```
+
+### Vector Search
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.QueryTableRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.QueryTableRequestVector;
+
+QueryTableRequest query = new QueryTableRequest();
+query.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+query.setK(10);  // Return top 10 results
+
+// Set the query vector
+List<Float> queryVector = new ArrayList<>();
+for (int i = 0; i < 128; i++) {
+    queryVector.add(1.0f);
+}
+QueryTableRequestVector vector = new QueryTableRequestVector();
+vector.setSingleVector(queryVector);
+query.setVector(vector);
+
+// Specify columns to return
+query.setColumns(Arrays.asList("id", "name", "embedding"));
+
+// Execute query - returns Arrow IPC format
+byte[] result = namespaceClient.queryTable(query);
+```
+
+### Full Text Search
+
+```java
+import org.lance.namespace.model.QueryTableRequest;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.QueryTableRequestFullTextQuery;
+import org.lance.namespace.model.StringFtsQuery;
+
+QueryTableRequest query = new QueryTableRequest();
+query.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+query.setK(10);
+
+// Set full text search query
+StringFtsQuery stringQuery = new StringFtsQuery();
+stringQuery.setQuery("search terms");
+stringQuery.setColumns(Arrays.asList("text_column"));
+
+QueryTableRequestFullTextQuery fts = new QueryTableRequestFullTextQuery();
+fts.setStringQuery(stringQuery);
+query.setFullTextQuery(fts);
+
+// Specify columns to return
+query.setColumns(Arrays.asList("id", "text_column"));
+
+byte[] result = namespaceClient.queryTable(query);
+```
+
+### Query with Filter
+
+```java
+QueryTableRequest query = new QueryTableRequest();
+query.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+query.setK(10);
+query.setFilter("id > 50");
+query.setColumns(Arrays.asList("id", "name"));
+
+byte[] result = namespaceClient.queryTable(query);
+```
+
+### Query with Prefilter
+
+```java
+QueryTableRequest query = new QueryTableRequest();
+query.setId(Arrays.asList("my_namespace", "my_table"));
+query.setK(5);
+query.setPrefilter(true);  // Apply filter before vector search
+query.setFilter("category = 'electronics'");
+
+// Set query vector
+QueryTableRequestVector vector = new QueryTableRequestVector();
+vector.setSingleVector(queryVector);
+query.setVector(vector);
+
+byte[] result = namespaceClient.queryTable(query);
+```
+
+### Reading Query Results
+
+Query results are returned in Apache Arrow IPC file format. Here's how to read them:
+
+```java
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.ipc.ArrowFileReader;
+import org.apache.arrow.vector.VectorSchemaRoot;

+}
+
+// Read query results

+
+try (BufferAllocator allocator = new RootAllocator();
+     ArrowFileReader reader = new ArrowFileReader(
+         new ByteArraySeekableByteChannel(queryResult), allocator)) {
+
+    for (int i = 0; i < reader.getRecordBlocks().size(); i++) {

+            System.out.println("Row " + row + ": id=" + id + ", name=" + name);
+        }
+    }
+}

Jack Ye	f523191d21	feat: make java client builder generic (#2851 ) In #2845 we ported the lancedb integration in lance-namespace to lancedb. But that is too specific to RestNamespace. We can improve the user entry point so that we can put local mode and future version of the Flight SQL-based LanceDB server all behind this single `LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder` API. Also I renamed `namespace` to `namesapceClient` to avoid confusion with the namespace path.	2025-12-04 16:34:32 -08:00

Jack Ye	ff75f2467b	feat: use rest namespace for lancedb java sdk (#2845 ) After the refactoring on both client and server side, we should have the ability to fully use lance REST namespace to call into LanceDB cloud and enterprise. We can avoid having a JNI implementation (which today does not really do anything except for vending a connection object), and just use lance-core's RestNamespace. We will at this moment have a LanceDbRestNamespaceBuilder to allow users to more easily build the RestNamespace to talk to LanceDB Cloud or Enterprise endpoint. In the future, we could extend this further to also support the local mode through DirectoryNamespace. That will be a separated PR.	2025-12-04 13:53:47 -08:00
