 !!! 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:

+#### DynamoDB Commit Store for concurrent writes
+
+By default, S3 does not support concurrent writes. Having two or more processes
+writing to the same table at the same time can lead to data corruption. This is
+because S3, unlike other object stores, does not have any atomic put or copy
+operation.
+
+To enable concurrent writes, you can configure LanceDB to use a DynamoDB table
+as a commit store. This table will be used to coordinate writes between
+different processes. To enable this feature, you must modify your connection
+URI to use the `s3+ddb` scheme and add a query parameter `ddbTableName` with the
+name of the table to use.
+
+=== "Python"
+
+    ```python
+    import lancedb

 VectorDBs are used as retreivers in recommender or chatbot-based systems for retrieving relevant data based on user queries. For example, retriever is a critical component of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) acrhitectures. In this section, we will discuss how to improve the performance of retrievers.
 
 There are serveral ways to improve the performance of retrievers. Some of the common techniques are:

+## Finetuning the Embedding Model
+Try it yourself - <a href="https://colab.research.google.com/github/lancedb/lancedb/blob/main/docs/src/notebooks/embedding_tuner.ipynb"><img src="https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg" alt="Open In Colab"></a><br/>
+
+Another way to improve retriever performance is to fine-tune the embedding model itself. Fine-tuning the embedding model can help in learning better representations for the documents and queries in the dataset. This can be particularly useful when the dataset is very different from the pre-trained data used to train the embedding model.
+
+We'll use the same dataset as in the previous sections. Start off by splitting the dataset into training and validation sets:
+```python
+from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
+
+train_df, validation_df = train_test_split("data_qa.csv", test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
+
+train_df.to_csv("data_train.csv", index=False)
+validation_df.to_csv("data_val.csv", index=False)
+```
+
+You can use any tuning API to fine-tune embedding models. In this example, we'll utilise Llama-index as it also comes with utilities for synthetic data generation and training the model. 
+
+
+Then parse the dataset as llama-index text nodes and generate synthetic QA pairs from each node.
+```python
+from llama_index.core.node_parser import SentenceSplitter
+from llama_index.readers.file import PagedCSVReader
+from llama_index.finetuning import generate_qa_embedding_pairs
+from llama_index.core.evaluation import EmbeddingQAFinetuneDataset
+
+def load_corpus(file):
+    loader = PagedCSVReader(encoding="utf-8")
+    docs = loader.load_data(file=Path(file))
+
+    parser = SentenceSplitter()
+    nodes = parser.get_nodes_from_documents(docs)
+
+    return nodes
+
+from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
+
+
+train_dataset = generate_qa_embedding_pairs(
+    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo"), nodes=train_nodes, verbose=False
+)
+val_dataset = generate_qa_embedding_pairs(
+    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo"), nodes=val_nodes, verbose=False
+)
+```
+
+Now we'll use `SentenceTransformersFinetuneEngine` engine to fine-tune the model. You can also use `sentence-transformers` or `transformers` library to fine-tune the model. 
+
+```python
+from llama_index.finetuning import SentenceTransformersFinetuneEngine
+
+finetune_engine = SentenceTransformersFinetuneEngine(
+    train_dataset,
+    model_id="BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5",
+    model_output_path="tuned_model",
+    val_dataset=val_dataset,
+)
+finetune_engine.finetune()
+embed_model = finetune_engine.get_finetuned_model()
+```
+This saves the fine tuned embedding model in `tuned_model` folder. This al
+
+# Evaluation results
+In order to eval the retriever, you can either use this model to ingest the data into LanceDB directly or llama-index's LanceDB integration to create a `VectorStoreIndex` and use it as a retriever. 
+On performing the same hit-rate evaluation as before, we see a significant improvement in the hit-rate across all query types.

+      "Before college the two main things I worked on, outside of school, were writing and programming. I didn't write essays. I wrote what beginning writers were supposed to write then, and probably still are: short stories. My stories were awful. They had hardly any plot, just characters with strong feelings, which I imagined made them deep.\n",
+      "\n",
+      "The first programs I tried writing were on the IBM 1401 that our school district used for what was then called \"data processing.\" This was in 9th grade, so I was 13 or 14. The school district's 1401 happened to be in the basement of our junior high school, and my friend Rich Draves and I got permission to use it. It was like a mini Bond villain's lair down there, with all these alien-looking machines — CPU, disk drives, printer, card reader — sitting up on a raised floor under bright fluorescent lights.\n",
+      "\n",
+      "The language we used was an early version of Fortran. You had to type programs on punch cards, then stack them in the card reader and press a button to load the program into memory and run it. The result would ordinarily be to print something on the spectacularly loud printer.\n",
+      "\n",
+      "I was puzzled by the 1401. I couldn't figure out what to do with it. And in retrospect there's not much I could have done with it. The only form of input to programs was data stored on punched cards, and I didn't have any data stored on punched cards. The only other option was to do things that didn't rely on any input, like calculate approximations of pi, but I didn't know enough math to do anything interesting of that type. So I'm not surprised I can't remember any programs I wrote, because they can't have done much. My clearest memory is of the moment I learned it was possible for programs not to terminate, when one of mine didn't. On a machine without time-sharing, this was a social as well as a technical error, as the data center manager's expression made clear.\n",
+      "\n",
+      "With microcomputers, everything changed. Now you could have a computer sitting right in front of you, on a desk, that could respond to your keystrokes as it was running instead of just churning through a stack of punch cards and then stopping. [1]\n",
+      "\n",
+      "The first of my friends to get a microcomputer built it himself. It was sold as a kit by Heathkit. I remember vividly how impressed and envious I felt watching him sitting in front of it, typing programs right into the computer.\n",
+      "\n",
+      "Computers were expensive in those days and it took me years of nagging before I convinced my father to buy one, a TRS-80, in about 1980. The gold standard then was the Apple II, but a TRS-80 was good enough. This was when I really started programming. I wrote simple games, a program to predict how high my model rockets would fly, and a word processor that my father used to write at least one book. There was only room in memory for about 2 pages of text, so he'd write 2 pages at a time and then print them out, but it was a lot better than a typewriter.\n",
+      "\n",
+      "Though I liked programming, I didn't plan to study it in college. In college I was going to study philosophy, which sounded much more powerful. It seemed, to my naive high school self, to be the study of the ultimate truths, compared to which the things studied in other fields would be mere domain knowledge. What I discovered when I got to college was that the other fields took up so much of the space of ideas that there wasn't much left for these supposed ultimate truths. All that seemed left for philosophy were edge cases that people in other fields felt could safely be ignored.\n",
+      "\n",
+      "I couldn't have put this into words when I was 18. All I knew at the time was that I kept taking philosophy courses and they kept being boring. So I decided to switch to AI.\n",
+      "\n",
+      "AI was in the air in the mid 1980s, but there were two things especially that made me want to work on it: a novel by Heinlein called The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, which featured an intelligent computer called Mike, and a PBS documentary that showed Terry Winograd using SHRDLU. I haven't tried rereading The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, so I don't know how well it has aged, but when I read it I was drawn entirely into its world.\n",
