Wyatt Alt 8e24dd3828 feat(rust)!: make add_columns a builder (#3778)
Table::add_columns now takes no arguments and returns AddColumnsBuilder,
so calls become .add_columns().transform(t).execute().

read_columns was the second positional argument but reaches only one of
the five transform variants. In lance's add_columns_to_fragments only
BatchUDF receives the caller's value: SqlExpressions replaces it with
the columns its expressions reference, Stream and Reader pass None, and
AllNulls reads nothing. So it was mandatory on every call -- all
eighteen call sites here passed None -- and silently discarded four
times out of five. As a builder method it is optional, and setting it
where lance would discard it is now an error, which does reject a call
that previously succeeded while ignoring the argument.

Matches the builders add, update, and merge_insert already use.

LanceDB JavaScript SDK

A JavaScript library for LanceDB.

Installation

npm install @lancedb/lancedb

This will download the appropriate native library for your platform. We currently support:

  • Linux (x86_64 and aarch64 on glibc and musl)
  • MacOS (Intel and ARM/M1/M2)
  • Windows (x86_64 and aarch64)

Usage

Basic Example

import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
const table = await db.createTable("my_table", [
  { id: 1, vector: [0.1, 1.0], item: "foo", price: 10.0 },
  { id: 2, vector: [3.9, 0.5], item: "bar", price: 20.0 },
]);
const results = await table.vectorSearch([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).toArray();
console.log(results);

The quickstart contains more complete examples.
