# WARNING: specifying engine is NOT a publicly supported feature in
lancedb yet. THE API WILL CHANGE.
This PR exposes dynamodb based commit to `vectordb` and JS SDK (will do
python in another PR since it's on a different release track)
This PR also added aws integration test using `localstack`
## What?
This PR adds uri parameters to DB connection string. User may specify
`engine` in the connection string to let LanceDB know that the user
wants to use an external store when reading and writing a table. User
may also pass any parameters required by the commitStore in the
connection string, these parameters will be propagated to lance.
e.g.
```
vectordb.connect("s3://my-db-bucket?engine=ddb&ddbTableName=my-commit-table")
```
will automatically convert table path to
```
s3+ddb://my-db-bucket/my_table.lance?&ddbTableName=my-commit-table
```
Developer-friendly, serverless vector database for AI applications
Documentation • Blog • Discord • Twitter
LanceDB is an open-source database for vector-search built with persistent storage, which greatly simplifies retrevial, filtering and management of embeddings.
The key features of LanceDB include:
-
Production-scale vector search with no servers to manage.
-
Store, query and filter vectors, metadata and multi-modal data (text, images, videos, point clouds, and more).
-
Support for vector similarity search, full-text search and SQL.
-
Native Python and Javascript/Typescript support.
-
Zero-copy, automatic versioning, manage versions of your data without needing extra infrastructure.
-
Ecosystem integrations with LangChain 🦜️🔗, LlamaIndex 🦙, Apache-Arrow, Pandas, Polars, DuckDB and more on the way.
LanceDB's core is written in Rust 🦀 and is built using Lance, an open-source columnar format designed for performant ML workloads.
Quick Start
Javascript
npm install vectordb
const lancedb = require('vectordb');
const db = await lancedb.connect('data/sample-lancedb');
const table = await db.createTable('vectors',
[{ id: 1, vector: [0.1, 0.2], item: "foo", price: 10 },
{ id: 2, vector: [1.1, 1.2], item: "bar", price: 50 }])
const query = table.search([0.1, 0.3]);
query.limit = 20;
const results = await query.execute();
Python
pip install lancedb
import lancedb
uri = "data/sample-lancedb"
db = lancedb.connect(uri)
table = 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}])
result = table.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_df()
