 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.

 ## 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"
-```python
+      ```python
-import lancedb
+      import lancedb
-uri = "~/.lancedb"
+      uri = "~/.lancedb"
-db = lancedb.connect(uri)

+      const uri = "~./lancedb";
+      const db = await lancedb.connect(uri);
+      ```
+      
+      LanceDB will create the directory if it doesn't exist (including parent directories).
+
+      If you need a reminder of the uri, you can call `db.uri()`.
 
 ## How to create a table
 
-To create a table, you can use the following code:
+=== "Python"
-```python
+      ```python
-tbl = db.create_table("my_table",
+      tbl = db.create_table("my_table",
-                      data=[{"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
+                        data=[{"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
-                            {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
+                              {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
-```
+      ```
 
-Under the hood, LanceDB is converting the input data into an Apache Arrow table
+      If the table already exists, LanceDB will raise an error by default.
-and persisting it to disk in [Lance format](github.com/eto-ai/lance).
+      If you want to overwrite the table, you can pass in `mode="overwrite"`
+      to the `create_table` method.
 
-If the table already exists, LanceDB will raise an error by default.
+      You can also pass in a pandas DataFrame directly:

 After a table has been created, you can always add more data to it using
 
-```python
+=== "Python"
-df = pd.DataFrame([{"vector": [1.3, 1.4], "item": "fizz", "price": 100.0},
+      ```python
-                   {"vector": [9.5, 56.2], "item": "buzz", "price": 200.0}])
+      df = pd.DataFrame([{"vector": [1.3, 1.4], "item": "fizz", "price": 100.0},
-tbl.add(df)
+                        {"vector": [9.5, 56.2], "item": "buzz", "price": 200.0}])
-```
+      tbl.add(df)
+      ```
+
+=== "Javascript"
+      ```javascript
+      await tbl.add([vector: [1.3, 1.4], item: "fizz", price: 100.0},
+              {vector: [9.5, 56.2], item: "buzz", price: 200.0}])
+      ```
 
 ## How to search for (approximate) nearest neighbors
 
 Once you've embedded the query, you can find its nearest neighbors using the following code:
 
-```python
+=== "Python"
-tbl.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_df()
+      ```python
-```
+      tbl.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_df()
+      ```
 
-This returns a pandas DataFrame with the results.

-
-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.

+
+## use LanceDB's LangChain integration with Modal to run a serverless app

+<img id="splash" width="400" alt="modal" src="https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/assets/917119/7d80a40f-60d7-48a6-972f-dab05000eccf">
+
+We're going to build a QA bot for your documentation using LanceDB's LangChain integration and use Modal for deployment.
+
+Modal is an end-to-end compute platform for model inference, batch jobs, task queues, web apps and more. It's a great way to deploy your LanceDB models and apps.
+
+To get started, ensure that you have created an account and logged into [Modal](https://modal.com/). To follow along, the full source code is available on Github [here](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/blob/main/docs/src/examples/modal_langchain.py).
+
+### Setting up Modal
+
+We'll start by specifying our dependencies and creating a new Modal `Stub`:
+
+```python
+lancedb_image = Image.debian_slim().pip_install(
+    "lancedb",
+    "langchain",
+    "openai",
+    "pandas",
+    "tiktoken",
+    "unstructured",
+    "tabulate"
+)
+
+stub = Stub(
+    name="example-langchain-lancedb",
+    image=lancedb_image,
+    secrets=[Secret.from_name("my-openai-secret")],
+)
+```
+
+We're using Modal's Secrets injection to secure our OpenAI key. To set your own, you can access the Modal UI and enter your key.
+
+### Setting up caches for LanceDB and LangChain
+
+Next, we can setup some globals to cache our LanceDB database, as well as our LangChain docsource:
+
+```python
+docsearch = None
+docs_path = Path("docs.pkl")
+db_path = Path("lancedb")
+```
+
+### Downloading our dataset
+
+We're going use a pregenerated dataset, which stores HTML files of the Pandas 2.0 documentation. 
+You could switch this out for your own dataset.
+
+```python
+def download_docs():
+    pandas_docs = requests.get("https://eto-public.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/datasets/pandas_docs/pandas.documentation.zip")
+    with open(Path("pandas.documentation.zip"), "wb") as f:
+        f.write(pandas_docs.content)
+
+    file = zipfile.ZipFile(Path("pandas.documentation.zip"))
+    file.extractall(path=Path("pandas_docs"))
+```
+
+### Pre-processing the dataset and generating metadata
+
+Once we've downloaded it, we want to parse and pre-process them using LangChain, and then vectorize them and store it in LanceDB.
+Let's first create a function that uses LangChains `UnstructuredHTMLLoader` to parse them.
+We can then add our own metadata to it and store it alongside the data, we'll later be able to use this for filtering metadata.
+
+```python
+def store_docs():
+    docs = []
+
+    if not docs_path.exists():
+        for p in Path("pandas_docs/pandas.documentation").rglob("*.html"):
+            if p.is_dir():
+                continue
+            loader = UnstructuredHTMLLoader(p)
+            raw_document = loader.load()
+
+            m = {}
+            m["title"] = get_document_title(raw_document[0])
+            m["version"] = "2.0rc0"
+            raw_document[0].metadata = raw_document[0].metadata | m
+            raw_document[0].metadata["source"] = str(raw_document[0].metadata["source"])
+            docs = docs + raw_document
+
+        with docs_path.open("wb") as fh:
+            pickle.dump(docs, fh)
+    else:
+        with docs_path.open("rb") as fh:
+            docs = pickle.load(fh)
+
+    return docs
+```
+
+### Simple LangChain chain for a QA bot
+
+Now we can create a simple LangChain chain for our QA bot. We'll use the `RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter` to split our documents into chunks, and then use the `OpenAIEmbeddings` to vectorize them.
+
+Lastly, we'll create a LanceDB table and store the vectorized documents in it, then create a `RetrievalQA` model from the chain and return it.
+
+```python
+def qanda_langchain(query):
+    download_docs()
+    docs = store_docs()
+
+    text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(
+        chunk_size=1000,
+        chunk_overlap=200,
+    )
+    documents = text_splitter.split_documents(docs)
+    embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
+
+    db = lancedb.connect(db_path) 
+    table = db.create_table("pandas_docs", data=[
+        {"vector": embeddings.embed_query("Hello World"), "text": "Hello World", "id": "1"}
+    ], mode="overwrite")
+    docsearch = LanceDB.from_documents(documents, embeddings, connection=table)
+    qa = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(llm=OpenAI(), chain_type="stuff", retriever=docsearch.as_retriever())
+    return qa.run(query)
+```
+
+### Creating our Modal entry points
+
+Now we can create our Modal entry points for our CLI and web endpoint:
+
+```python
+@stub.function()
+@web_endpoint(method="GET")
+def web(query: str):
+    answer = qanda_langchain(query)
+    return {
+        "answer": answer,
+    }
+    
+@stub.function()
+def cli(query: str):
+    answer = qanda_langchain(query)
+    print(answer)
+```
+
+# Testing it out!
+
+Testing the CLI:
+
+```bash
+modal run modal_langchain.py --query "What are the major differences in pandas 2.0?"
+```
+
+Testing the web endpoint:
+
+```bash
+modal serve modal_langchain.py
+```
+
+In the CLI, Modal will provide you a web endpoint. Copy this endpoint URI for the next step.
+Once this is served, then we can hit it with `curl`. 
+
+Note, the first time this runs, it will take a few minutes to download the dataset and vectorize it.
+An actual production example would pre-cache/load the dataset and vectorized documents prior
+
+```bash
+curl --get --data-urlencode "query=What are the major differences in pandas 2.0?" https://your-modal-endpoint-app.modal.run
+
+{"answer":" The major differences in pandas 2.0 include the ability to use any numpy numeric dtype in a Index, installing optional dependencies with pip extras, and enhancements, bug fixes, and performance improvements."}
+```

+# 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 to use LanceDB's Javascript API to store and manage your data easily.
+
+```bash
+npm install vectordb
+```
+
+## Download the data
+
+For this example, we're using a sample of a HuggingFace dataset that contains YouTube transcriptions: `jamescalam/youtube-transcriptions`. Download and extract this file under the `data` folder:
+
+```bash
+wget -c https://eto-public.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/datasets/youtube_transcript/youtube-transcriptions_sample.jsonl
+```
+
+## Prepare Context
+
+Each item in the dataset contains just a short chunk of text. We'll need to merge a bunch of these chunks together on a rolling basis. For this demo, we'll look back 20 records to create a more complete context for each sentence.
+
+First, we need to read and parse the input file.
+
+```javascript
+const lines = (await fs.readFile(INPUT_FILE_NAME, 'utf-8'))
+  .toString()
+  .split('\n')
+  .filter(line => line.length > 0)
+  .map(line => JSON.parse(line))
+
+const data = contextualize(lines, 20, 'video_id')
+```
+
+The contextualize function groups the transcripts by video_id and then creates the expanded context for each item.
+
+```javascript
+function contextualize (rows, contextSize, groupColumn) {
+  const grouped = []
+  rows.forEach(row => {
+    if (!grouped[row[groupColumn]]) {
+      grouped[row[groupColumn]] = []
+    }
+    grouped[row[groupColumn]].push(row)
+  })
+
+  const data = []
+  Object.keys(grouped).forEach(key => {
+    for (let i = 0; i < grouped[key].length; i++) {
+      const start = i - contextSize > 0 ? i - contextSize : 0
+      grouped[key][i].context = grouped[key].slice(start, i + 1).map(r => r.text).join(' ')
+    }
+    data.push(...grouped[key])
+  })
+  return data
+}
+```
+
+## Create the LanceDB Table
+
+To load our data into LanceDB, we need to create embedding (vectors) for each item. For this example, we will use the OpenAI embedding functions, which have a native integration with LanceDB.
+
+```javascript
+// You need to provide an OpenAI API key, here we read it from the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable
+const apiKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
+// The embedding function will create embeddings for the 'context' column
+const embedFunction = new lancedb.OpenAIEmbeddingFunction('context', apiKey)
+// Connects to LanceDB
+const db = await lancedb.connect('data/youtube-lancedb')
+const tbl = await db.createTable('vectors', data, embedFunction)
+```
+
+## Create and answer the prompt
+
+We will accept questions in natural language and use our corpus stored in LanceDB to answer them. First, we need to set up the OpenAI client:
+
+```javascript
+const configuration = new Configuration({ apiKey })
+const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration)
+```
+
+Then we can prompt questions and use LanceDB to retrieve the three most relevant transcripts for this prompt.
+
+```javascript
+const query = await rl.question('Prompt: ')
+const results = await tbl
+  .search(query)
+  .select(['title', 'text', 'context'])
+  .limit(3)
+  .execute()
+```
+
+The query and the transcripts' context are appended together in a single prompt:
+
+```javascript
+function createPrompt (query, context) {
+    let prompt =
+        'Answer the question based on the context below.\n\n' +
+        'Context:\n'
+
+    // need to make sure our prompt is not larger than max size
+    prompt = prompt + context.map(c => c.context).join('\n\n---\n\n').substring(0, 3750)
+    prompt = prompt + `\n\nQuestion: ${query}\nAnswer:`
+    return prompt
+}
+```
+
+We can now use the OpenAI Completion API to process our custom prompt and give us an answer.
+
+```javascript
+const response = await openai.createCompletion({
+  model: 'text-davinci-003',
+  prompt: createPrompt(query, results),
+  max_tokens: 400,
+  temperature: 0,
+  top_p: 1,
+  frequency_penalty: 0,
+  presence_penalty: 0
+})
+console.log(response.data.choices[0].text)
+```
+
+## Let's put it all together now
+
+Now we can provide queries and have them answered based on your local LanceDB data.
+
+```bash
+Prompt: who was the 12th person on the moon and when did they land?
+ The 12th person on the moon was Harrison Schmitt and he landed on December 11, 1972.
+Prompt: Which training method should I use for sentence transformers when I only have pairs of related sentences?
+ NLI with multiple negative ranking loss.
+```
+
+## That's a wrap
+
+In this example, you learned how to use LanceDB to store and query embedding representations of your local data. The complete example code is on [GitHub](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/tree/main/node/examples), and you can also download the LanceDB dataset using [this link](https://eto-public.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/datasets/youtube_transcript/youtube-lancedb.zip).

+# Vector Search
+
+`Vector Search` finds the nearest vectors from the database.
+In a recommendation system or search engine, you can find similar products from
+the one you searched.
+In LLM and other AI applications,
+each data point can be [presented by the embeddings generated from some models](embedding.md),
+it returns the most relevant features.
+
+A search in high-dimensional vector space, is to find `K-Nearest-Neighbors (KNN)` of the query vector.
+
+## Metric
+
+In LanceDB, a `Metric` is the way to describe the distance between a pair of vectors.
+Currently, we support the following metrics:
+
+| Metric      | Description                          |
+| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `L2`        | [Euclidean / L2 distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance) |
+| `Cosine`    | [Cosine Similarity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine_similarity)|
+
+
+## Search
+
+### Flat Search
+
+
+If there is no [vector index is created](ann_indexes.md), LanceDB will just brute-force scan
+the vector column and compute the distance.
+
+=== "Python"
+
+    ```python
+    import lancedb
+    db = lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb")
+
+    tbl = db.open_table("my_vectors")
+
+    df = tbl.search(np.random.random((768)))
+        .limit(10)
+        .to_df()
+    ```
+
+=== "JavaScript"
+
+    ```javascript
+    const vectordb = require('vectordb')
+    const db = await vectordb.connect('data/sample-lancedb')
+
+    tbl = db.open_table("my_vectors")
+
+    const results = await tbl.search(Array(768))
+        .limit(20)
+        .execute()
+    ```
+
+By default, `l2` will be used as `Metric` type. You can customize the metric type
+as well.
+
+=== "Python"
+
+    ```python
+    df = tbl.search(np.random.random((768)))
+        .metric("cosine")
+        .limit(10)
+        .to_df()
+    ```
+
+=== "JavaScript"
+
+    ```javascript
+    const vectordb = require('vectordb')
+    const db = await vectordb.connect('data/sample-lancedb')
+
+    tbl = db.open_table("my_vectors")
+
+    const results = await tbl.search(Array(768))
+        .metric("cosine")
+        .limit(20)
+        .execute()
+    ```
+
+### Search with Vector Index.
+
+See [ANN Index](ann_indexes.md) for more details.

+    Used to create context windows. Context windows are rolling subsets of text
