Wyatt Alt 08e9ab54a9 rust: create_index returns the server-minted job id
BaseTable::create_index and IndexBuilder::execute now return
Option<String> -- the job id the server mints when an index build is
deferred to a background job (pending vector index on a remote table).
Native builds are synchronous and return None; older servers with empty
response bodies parse as None. The pyo3 binding forwards the id to
python; nodejs keeps its unit return.

LanceDB Python SDK

A Python library for LanceDB.

Installation

pip install lancedb

Preview Releases

Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.

pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb

Usage

Basic Example

import lancedb
db = lancedb.connect('<PATH_TO_LANCEDB_DATASET>')
table = db.open_table('my_table')
results = table.search([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).to_list()
print(results)
