python v0.1.4

pypi does not allow packages to be uploaded that has a direct reference

for now we'll just ask the user to install tantivy separately

+# YouTube transcript QA bot with NodeJS
+
+## use LanceDB's Javascript API and OpenAI to build a QA bot for YouTube transcripts
+
+<img id="splash" width="400" alt="nodejs" src="https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/assets/917119/3a140e75-bf8e-438a-a1e4-af14a72bcf98">
+
+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.
+```

+# Serverless LanceDB

+## Store your data on S3 and use Lambda to compute embeddings and retrieve queries in production easily.
+
+<img id="splash" width="400" alt="s3-lambda" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/917119/234653050-305a1e90-9305-40ab-b014-c823172a948c.png">
+
+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.

+# [EXPERIMENTAL] Full text search
+
+LanceDB now provides experimental support for full text search.
+This is currently Python only. We plan to push the integration down to Rust in the future
+to make this available for JS as well.
+
+## Installation
+
+To use full text search, you must install optional dependency tantivy-py:
+
+# tantivy 0.19.2
+pip install tantivy@git+https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy-py#164adc87e1a033117001cf70e38c82a53014d985
+
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Assume:
+1. `table` is a LanceDB Table
+2. `text` is the name of the Table column that we want to index
+
+To create the index:
+
+```python
+table.create_fts_index("text")
+```
+
+To search:
+
+```python
+df = table.search("puppy").limit(10).select(["text"]).to_df()
+```
+
+LanceDB automatically looks for an FTS index if the input is str.
+
+## Multiple text columns
+
+If you have multiple columns to index, pass them all as a list to `create_fts_index`:
+
+```python
+table.create_fts_index(["text1", "text2"])
+```
+
+Note that the search API call does not change - you can search over all indexed columns at once.
+
+## Current limitations
+
+1. Currently we do not yet support incremental writes.
+If you add data after fts index creation, it won't be reflected
+in search results until you do a full reindex.
+
+2. We currently only support local filesystem paths for the fts index.
