 * Production-scale vector search with no servers to manage.
 
-* Combine attribute-based information with vectors and store them as a single source-of-truth.
+* Store, query and filter vectors, metadata and multi-modal data (text, images, videos, point clouds, and more).
+
+* Native Python and Javascript/Typescript support.
 
 * Zero-copy, automatic versioning, manage versions of your data without needing extra infrastructure.
 
-* Ecosystem integrations: Apache-Arrow, Pandas, Polars, DuckDB and more on the way.
+* Ecosystem integrations with [LangChain 🦜️🔗](https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/modules/indexes/vectorstores/examples/lanecdb.html), [LlamaIndex 🦙](https://gpt-index.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/vector_stores/LanceDBIndexDemo.html), Apache-Arrow, Pandas, Polars, DuckDB and more on the way.
 
 LanceDB's core is written in Rust 🦀 and is built using <a href="https://github.com/eto-ai/lance">Lance</a>, an open-source columnar format designed for performant ML workloads.

+
+You can create an index over your vector data to make search faster.
+Vector indexes are faster but less accurate than exhaustive search.
+LanceDB provides many parameters to fine-tune the index's size, the speed of queries, and the accuracy of results.
+
+Currently, LanceDB does *not* automatically create the ANN index.
+LanceDB has optimized code for KNN as well. For many use-cases, datasets under 100K vectors won't require index creation at all.
+If you can live with <100ms latency, skipping index creation is a simpler workflow while guaranteeing 100% recall.
+
+In the future we will look to automatically create and configure the ANN index.
+
+## Creating an ANN Index
+
+Creating indexes is done via the [create_index](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/#lancedb.table.LanceTable.create_index) method.
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+import numpy as np
+uri = "~/.lancedb"
+db = lancedb.connect(uri)
+
+# Create 10,000 sample vectors
+data = [{"vector": row, "item": f"item {i}"}
+   for i, row in enumerate(np.random.random((10_000, 768)).astype('float32'))]
+
+# Add the vectors to a table
+tbl = db.create_table("my_vectors", data=data)
+
+# Create and train the index - you need to have enough data in the table for an effective training step
+tbl.create_index(num_partitions=256, num_sub_vectors=96)
+```
+
+Since `create_index` has a training step, it can take a few minutes to finish for large tables. You can control the index
+creation by providing the following parameters:
+
+- **metric** (default: "L2"): The distance metric to use. By default we use euclidean distance. We also support cosine distance.
+- **num_partitions** (default: 256): The number of partitions of the index. The number of partitions should be configured so each partition has 3-5K vectors. For example, a table
+with ~1M vectors should use 256 partitions. You can specify arbitrary number of partitions but powers of 2 is most conventional.
+A higher number leads to faster queries, but it makes index generation slower.
+- **num_sub_vectors** (default: 96): The number of subvectors (M) that will be created during Product Quantization (PQ). A larger number makes
+search more accurate, but also makes the index larger and slower to build.
+
+## Querying an ANN Index
+
+Querying vector indexes is done via the [search](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/#lancedb.table.LanceTable.search) function.
+
+There are a couple of parameters that can be used to fine-tune the search:
+
+- **limit** (default: 10): The amount of results that will be returned
+- **nprobes** (default: 20): The number of probes used. A higher number makes search more accurate but also slower.<br/>
+  Most of the time, setting nprobes to cover 5-10% of the dataset should achieve high recall with low latency.<br/>
+  e.g., for 1M vectors divided up into 256 partitions, nprobes should be set to ~20-40.<br/>
+  Note: nprobes is only applicable if an ANN index is present. If specified on a table without an ANN index, it is ignored.
+- **refine_factor** (default: None): Refine the results by reading extra elements and re-ranking them in memory.<br/>
+  A higher number makes search more accurate but also slower. If you find the recall is less than idea, try refine_factor=10 to start.<br/>
+  e.g., for 1M vectors divided into 256 partitions, if you're looking for top 20, then refine_factor=200 reranks the whole partition.<br/>
+  Note: refine_factor is only applicable if an ANN index is present. If specified on a table without an ANN index, it is ignored.
+
+
+```python
+tbl.search(np.random.random((768))) \
+    .limit(2) \
+    .nprobes(20) \
+    .refine_factor(10) \
+    .to_df()
+
+                                              vector       item       score
+0  [0.44949695, 0.8444449, 0.06281311, 0.23338133...  item 1141  103.575333
+1  [0.48587373, 0.269207, 0.15095535, 0.65531915,...  item 3953  108.393867
+```
+
+The search will return the data requested in addition to the score of each item.
+
+**Note:** The score is the distance between the query vector and the element. A lower number means that the result is more relevant.
+
+### Filtering (where clause)
+
+You can further filter the elements returned by a search using a where clause.
+
+```python
+tbl.search(np.random.random((768))).where("item != 'item 1141'").to_df()
+```
+
+### Projections (select clause)
+
+You can select the columns returned by the query using a select clause.
+
+```python
+tbl.search(np.random.random((768))).select(["vector"]).to_df()
+                                              vector      score
+0  [0.30928212, 0.022668175, 0.1756372, 0.4911822...  93.971092
+1  [0.2525465, 0.01723831, 0.261568, 0.002007689,...  95.173485

+# Basic LanceDB Functionality
+
+## How to connect to a database
+
+In local mode, LanceDB stores data in a directory on your local machine. To connect to a local database, you can use the following code:
+```python
+import lancedb
+uri = "~/.lancedb"
+db = lancedb.connect(uri)
+```
+
+LanceDB will create the directory if it doesn't exist (including parent directories).
+
+If you need a reminder of the uri, use the `db.uri` property.
+
+## How to create a table
+
+To create a table, you can use the following code:
+```python
+tbl = db.create_table("my_table",
+                      data=[{"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
+                            {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
+```
+
+Under the hood, LanceDB is converting the input data into an Apache Arrow table
+and persisting it to disk in [Lance format](github.com/eto-ai/lance).
+
+If the table already exists, LanceDB will raise an error by default.
+If you want to overwrite the table, you can pass in `mode="overwrite"`
+to the `create_table` method.
+
+You can also pass in a pandas DataFrame directly:
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+df = pd.DataFrame([{"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
+                   {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
+tbl = db.create_table("table_from_df", data=df)
+```
+
+## How to open an existing table
+
+Once created, you can open a table using the following code:
+```python
+tbl = db.open_table("my_table")
+```
+
+If you forget the name of your table, you can always get a listing of all table names:
+
+```python
+db.table_names()
+```
+
+## How to add data to a table
+
+After a table has been created, you can always add more data to it using
+
+```python
+df = pd.DataFrame([{"vector": [1.3, 1.4], "item": "fizz", "price": 100.0},
+                   {"vector": [9.5, 56.2], "item": "buzz", "price": 200.0}])
+tbl.add(df)
+```
+
+## How to search for (approximate) nearest neighbors
+
+Once you've embedded the query, you can find its nearest neighbors using the following code:
+
+```python
+tbl.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_df()
+```
+
+This returns a pandas DataFrame with the results.
+
+## What's next
+
+This section covered the very basics of the LanceDB API.
+LanceDB supports many additional features when creating indices to speed up search and options for search.
+These are contained in the next section of the documentation.

+# Embedding Functions
+
+Embeddings are high dimensional floating-point vector representations of your data or query.
+Anything can be embedded using some embedding model or function.
+For a given embedding function, the output will always have the same number of dimensions.
+
+## Creating an embedding function
+
+Any function that takes as input a batch (list) of data and outputs a batch (list) of embeddings
+can be used by LanceDB as an embedding function. The input and output batch sizes should be the same.
+
+### HuggingFace example
+
+One popular free option would be to use the [sentence-transformers](https://www.sbert.net/) library from HuggingFace.
+You can install this using pip: `pip install sentence-transformers`.
+
+```python
+from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
+
+name="paraphrase-albert-small-v2"
+model = SentenceTransformer(name)
+
+# used for both training and querying
+def embed_func(batch):
+    return [model.encode(sentence) for sentence in batch]
+```
+
+### OpenAI example
+
+You can also use an external API like OpenAI to generate embeddings
+
+```python
+import openai
+import os
+
+# Configuring the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY
+if "OPENAI_API_KEY" not in os.environ:
+    # OR set the key here as a variable
+    openai.api_key = "sk-..."
+
+# verify that the API key is working
+assert len(openai.Model.list()["data"]) > 0
+
+def embed_func(c):
+    rs = openai.Embedding.create(input=c, engine="text-embedding-ada-002")
+    return [record["embedding"] for record in rs["data"]]
+```
+
+## Applying an embedding function
+
+Using an embedding function, you can apply it to raw data
+to generate embeddings for each row.
+
+Say if you have a pandas DataFrame with a `text` column that you want to be embedded,
+you can use the [with_embeddings](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/#lancedb.embeddings.with_embeddings)
+function to generate embeddings and add create a combined pyarrow table:
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+from lancedb.embeddings import with_embeddings
+
+df = pd.DataFrame([{"text": "pepperoni"},
+                   {"text": "pineapple"}])
+data = with_embeddings(embed_func, df)
+
+# The output is used to create / append to a table
+# db.create_table("my_table", data=data)
+```
+
+If your data is in a different column, you can specify the `column` kwarg to `with_embeddings`.
+
+By default, LanceDB calls the function with batches of 1000 rows. This can be configured
+using the `batch_size` parameter to `with_embeddings`.
+
+LanceDB automatically wraps the function with retry and rate-limit logic to ensure the OpenAI
+API call is reliable.
+
+## Searching with an embedding function
+
+At inference time, you also need the same embedding function to embed your query text.
+It's important that you use the same model / function otherwise the embedding vectors don't
+belong in the same latent space and your results will be nonsensical.
+
+```python
+query = "What's the best pizza topping?"
+query_vector = embed_func([query])[0]
+tbl.search(query_vector).limit(10).to_df()
+```
+
+The above snippet returns a pandas DataFrame with the 10 closest vectors to the query.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+In the near future, we'll be integrating the embedding functions deeper into LanceDB<br/>.
+The goal is that you just have to configure the function once when you create the table,
+and then you'll never have to deal with embeddings / vectors after that unless you want to.
+We'll also integrate more popular models and APIs.

+
+This Q&A bot will allow you to search through youtube transcripts using natural language! We'll introduce how you can use LanceDB's Javascript API to store and manage your data easily.
+
+For this example we're using a HuggingFace dataset that contains YouTube transcriptions: `jamescalam/youtube-transcriptions`, to make it easier, we've converted it to a LanceDB `db` already, which you can download and put in a working directory:
+
+```wget -c https://eto-public.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/lancedb_demo.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz -C .```
+
+Now, we'll create a simple app that can:
+1. Take a text based query and search for contexts in our corpus, using embeddings generated from the OpenAI Embedding API.
+2. Create a prompt with the contexts, and call the OpenAI Completion API to answer the text based query.
+
+Dependencies and setup of OpenAI API:
+
+```javascript
+const lancedb = require("vectordb");
+const { Configuration, OpenAIApi } = require("openai");
+
+const configuration = new Configuration({
+    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
+    });
+const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration);
+```
+
+First, let's set our question and the context amount. The context amount will be used to query similar documents in our corpus.
+
+```javascript
+const QUESTION = "who was the 12th person on the moon and when did they land?";
+const CONTEXT_AMOUNT = 3;
+```
+
+Now, let's generate an embedding from this question:
+
+```javascript
+const embeddingResponse = await openai.createEmbedding({
+    model: "text-embedding-ada-002",
+    input: QUESTION,
+});
+
+const embedding = embeddingResponse.data["data"][0]["embedding"];
+```
+
+Once we have the embedding, we can connect to LanceDB (using the database we downloaded earlier), and search through the chatbot table.
+We'll extract 3 similar documents found.
+
+```javascript
+const db = await lancedb.connect('./lancedb');
+const tbl = await db.openTable('chatbot');
+const query = tbl.search(embedding);
+query.limit = CONTEXT_AMOUNT;
+const context = await query.execute();
+```
+
+Let's combine the context together so we can pass it into our prompt:
+
+```javascript
+for (let i = 1; i < context.length; i++) {
+    context[0]["text"] += " " + context[i]["text"];
+}
+```
+
+Lastly, let's construct the prompt. You could play around with this to create more accurate/better prompts to yield results.
+
+```javascript
+const prompt = "Answer the question based on the context below.\n\n" +
+    "Context:\n" +
+    `${context[0]["text"]}\n` +
+    `\n\nQuestion: ${QUESTION}\nAnswer:`;
+```
+
+We pass the prompt, along with the context, to the completion API.
+
+```javascript
+const completion = await openai.createCompletion({
+    model: "text-davinci-003",
+    prompt,
+    temperature: 0,
+    max_tokens: 400,
+    top_p: 1,
+    frequency_penalty: 0,
+    presence_penalty: 0,
+});
+```
+
+And that's it!
+
+```javascript
+console.log(completion.data.choices[0].text);
+```
+
+The response is (which is non deterministic):
+
+```
+The 12th person on the moon was Harrison Schmitt and he landed on December 11, 1972.

+
+This is a great option if you're wanting to scale with your use case and save effort and costs of maintenance.
+
+Let's walk through how to get a simple Lambda function that queries the SIFT dataset on S3.
+
+Before we start, you'll need to ensure you create a secure account access to AWS. We recommend using user policies, as this way AWS can share credentials securely without you having to pass around environment variables into Lambda.
+
+We'll also use a container to ship our Lambda code. This is a good option for Lambda as you don't have the space limits that you would otherwise by building a package yourself.
+
+# Initial setup: creating a LanceDB Table and storing it remotely on S3
+
+We'll use the SIFT vector dataset as an example. To make it easier, we've already made a Lance-format SIFT dataset publicly available, which we can access and use to populate our LanceDB Table. 
+
+To do this, download the Lance files locally first from:
+
+```
+s3://eto-public/datasets/sift/vec_data.lance
+```
+
+Then, we can write a quick Python script to populate our LanceDB Table:
+
+```python
+import pylance
+sift_dataset = pylance.dataset("/path/to/local/vec_data.lance")
+df = sift_dataset.to_table().to_pandas()
+
+import lancedb
+db = lancedb.connect(".")
+table = db.create_table("vector_example", df)
+```
+
+Once we've created our Table, we are free to move this data over to S3 so we can remotely host it.
+
+# Building our Lambda app: a simple event handler for vector search
+
+Now that we've got a remotely hosted LanceDB Table, we'll want to be able to query it from Lambda. To do so, let's create a new `Dockerfile` using the AWS python container base:
+
+```docker
+FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.10
+
+RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip
+RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir -U numpy --target "${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}"
+RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir -U lancedb --target "${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}"
+
+COPY app.py ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}
+
+CMD [ "app.handler" ]
+```
+
+Now let's make a simple Lambda function that queries the SIFT dataset in `app.py`.
+
+```python    
+import json
+import numpy as np
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect("s3://eto-public/tables")
+table = db.open_table("vector_example")
+
+def handler(event, context):
+    status_code = 200
+
+    if event['query_vector'] is None:
+        status_code = 404
+        return {
+            "statusCode": status_code,
+            "headers": {
+                "Content-Type": "application/json"
+            },
+            "body": json.dumps({
+                "Error ": "No vector to query was issued"
+            })
+        }
+    
+    # Shape of SIFT is (128,1M), d=float32
+    query_vector = np.array(event['query_vector'], dtype=np.float32)
+
+    rs = table.search(query_vector).limit(2).to_df()
+
+    return {
+        "statusCode": status_code,
+        "headers": {
+            "Content-Type": "application/json"
+        },
+        "body": rs.to_json()
+    }
+``` 
+
+# Deploying the container to ECR
+
+The next step is to build and push the container to ECR, where it can then be used to create a new Lambda function. 
+
+It's best to follow the official AWS documentation for how to do this, which you can view here:
+
+```
+https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/images-create.html#images-upload
+```
+
+# Final step: setting up your Lambda function
+
+Once the container is pushed, you can create a Lambda function by selecting the container.

+# Integrations
+
+Built on top of Apache Arrow, `LanceDB` is easy to integrate with the Python ecosystem, including Pandas, PyArrow and DuckDB.
+
+## Pandas and PyArrow
+
+First, we need to connect to a `LanceDB` database.
+
+``` py
+
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect("/tmp/lancedb")
+```
+
+And write a `Pandas DataFrame` to LanceDB directly.
+
+```py
+import pandas as pd
+
+data = pd.DataFrame({
+    "vector": [[3.1, 4.1], [5.9, 26.5]],
+    "item": ["foo", "bar"],
+    "price": [10.0, 20.0]
+})
+table = db.create_table("pd_table", data=data)
+
+# Optionally, create a IVF_PQ index
+table.create_index(num_partitions=256, num_sub_vectors=96)
+```
+
+You will find detailed instructions of creating dataset and index in [Basic Operations](basic.md) and [Indexing](indexing.md)
+sections.
+
+
+We can now perform similarity searches via `LanceDB`.
+
+```py
+# Open the table previously created.
+table = db.open_table("pd_table")
+
+query_vector = [100, 100]
+# Pandas DataFrame
+df = table.search(query_vector).limit(1).to_df()
+print(df)
+```
+
+```
+    vector     item  price        score
+0  [5.9, 26.5]  bar   20.0  14257.05957
+```
+
+If you have a simple filter, it's faster to provide a where clause to `LanceDB`'s search query.
+If you have more complex criteria, you can always apply the filter to the resulting pandas `DataFrame` from the search query.
+
+```python

+
+## DuckDB
+
+`LanceDB` works with `DuckDB` via [PyArrow integration](https://duckdb.org/docs/guides/python/sql_on_arrow).
+
+Let us start with installing `duckdb` and `lancedb`.
+
+```shell
+pip install duckdb lancedb
+```
+
+We will re-use the dataset created previously
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect("/tmp/lancedb")
+table = db.open_table("pd_table")
+arrow_table = table.to_arrow()
+```
+
+`DuckDB` can directly query the `arrow_table`:
+
+```python
+In [15]: duckdb.query("SELECT * FROM t")
+Out[15]:
+┌─────────────┬─────────┬────────┐
+│   vector    │  item   │ price  │
+│   float[]   │ varchar │ double │
+├─────────────┼─────────┼────────┤
+│ [3.1, 4.1]  │ foo     │   10.0 │
+│ [5.9, 26.5] │ bar     │   20.0 │
+└─────────────┴─────────┴────────┘
+
+In [16]: duckdb.query("SELECT mean(price) FROM t")
+Out[16]:
+┌─────────────┐
+│ mean(price) │
+│   double    │
+├─────────────┤
+│        15.0 │
+└─────────────┘
+```

+# LanceDB
+
+A JavaScript / Node.js library for [LanceDB](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb).
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install vectordb
+```
+
+This will download the appropriate native library for your platform. We currently
+support x86_64 Linux, Intel MacOS, and ARM (M1/M2) MacOS.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Example
+
+```javascript
+const lancedb = require('vectordb');
+const db = lancedb.connect('<PATH_TO_LANCEDB_DATASET>');
+const table = await db.openTable('my_table');
+const query = await table.search([0.1, 0.3]).setLimit(20).execute();
+console.log(results);
+```
+
+The [examples](./examples) folder contains complete examples.
+
+## Development
+
+Build and install the rust library with:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+npm run pack-build
+npm install --no-save ./dist/vectordb-*.tgz
+```
+
+`npm run build` builds the Rust library, `npm run pack-build` packages the Rust
+binary into an npm module called `@vectordb/<platform>` (for example, 
+`@vectordb/darwin-arm64.node`), and then `npm run install ...` installs that
+module.
+
+The LanceDB javascript is built with npm:
+
+```bash
+npm run tsc
+```
+
+Run the tests with
+
+```bash
+npm test
+```
+
+To run the linter and have it automatically fix all errors
+
+```bash
+npm run lint -- --fix
+```

+How to release the node module
+
+### 1. Bump the versions
+
+<!-- TODO: we also need to bump the optional dependencies for node! -->
+
+```shell
+pushd rust/vectordb
+cargo bump minor
+popd
+
+pushd rust/ffi/node
+cargo bump minor
+popd
+
+pushd python
+cargo bump minor
+popd
+
+pushd node
+npm version minor
+popd
+
+git add -u
+git commit -m "Bump versions"
+git push
+```
+
+### 2. Push a new tag
+
+```shell
+git tag vX.X.X
+git push --tag vX.X.X
+```
+
+When the tag is pushed, GitHub actions will start building the libraries and
+will upload them to a draft release. Wait for those jobs to complete.

+2. Push a tag, such as vX.X.X. Once the tag is pushrf, GitHub actions will start
+   building the native libraries and uploading them to a draft release. Wait for
+   those jobs to complete.
+3. If the libraries are successful, edit the changelog and then publish the
+   release. Once you publish, a new action will start and upload all the

+
+## Manual process
+
+You can build the artifacts locally on a MacOS machine.
+
+### Build the MacOS release libraries
+
+One-time setup:
+
+```shell
+rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin aarch64-apple-darwin
+```
+
+To build:
+
+```shell
+bash ci/build_macos_artifacts.sh
+```
+
+### Build the Linux release libraries
+
+One-time setup, building the Docker container
+
+```shell
+cat ci/ubuntu_build.dockerfile | docker build -t lancedb-node-build -
+```
+
+To build:
+
+```shell
+docker run \

+    -v $(pwd):/io -w /io \
+    lancedb-node-build \
