Update Rust and Java Lance dependencies to [v15.0.0-beta.15](https://github.com/lance-format/lance/releases/tag/v15.0.0-beta.15), pin Python tests to published pylance 15.0.0b15, and refresh both lockfiles; no compatibility fixes were needed. Validation passed: workspace Clippy with all features/tests and warnings denied, cargo fmt, uv lock --check, and all 35 CI-script tests. The [upstream wheel workflow](https://github.com/lance-format/lance/actions/runs/42669437482) canceled Windows ARM64 and manylinux_2_28 x86_64 builds after an hour, so the lockfile contains the five published variants (Linux x86_64 remains covered by manylinux2014); Windows ARM64 is unavailable until upstream publishes its wheel and the lockfile is refreshed.
LanceDB Java Enterprise Client
Configuration and Initialization
LanceDB Cloud (legacy)
For LanceDB Cloud, the legacy hosted service, use the simplified builder API:
import com.lancedb.LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder;
import org.lance.namespace.LanceNamespace;
// If your DB url is db://example-db, then your database here is example-db
LanceNamespace namespaceClient = LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder.newBuilder()
.apiKey("your_lancedb_cloud_api_key")
.database("your_database_name")
.build();
LanceDB Enterprise
For LanceDB Enterprise deployments, use your custom endpoint:
LanceNamespace namespaceClient = LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder.newBuilder()
.apiKey("your_lancedb_enterprise_api_key")
.database("your_database_name")
.endpoint("<your_enterprise_endpoint>")
.build();
RTE write path
Most table operations reach LanceDB through the LanceNamespace above, which is
generated from the Lance Namespace specification. The RTE LSM routes are not part
of that specification, so they are issued through a separate client:
import com.lancedb.LanceDbRestClient;
import com.lancedb.LanceDbTableRTE;
import com.lancedb.RTEWriteSpec;
LanceDbRestClient client = LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder.newBuilder()
.apiKey("your_lancedb_cloud_api_key")
.database("your_database_name")
.buildRestClient();
LanceDbTableRTE rte = new LanceDbTableRTE(client, "my_table");
// Route future merge_insert upserts through the RTE, hash-bucketed by `id`.
rte.enableRTE(RTEWriteSpec.bucket("id", 16));
// ... merge_insert traffic ...
// Converge the fresh tier into the base table.
rte.checkpointRTE();
// Inspect live per-table-shard state.
rte.getRTEStats().ifPresent(stats -> stats.tableShards().forEach(tableShard ->
System.out.println(tableShard.shardId() + ": " + tableShard.sstables().size() + " SSTables")));
client.close();
maintainedIndexes is tri-state, and the null default is the opposite of what a Java
reader usually expects:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| unset (null) | Maintain every index the table has, including ones created later |
Collections.emptyList() |
Maintain none |
Arrays.asList("id_idx") |
Maintain exactly those |
Development
The parent POM includes https://maven.lance.org to resolve Lance beta and RC
dependencies. Use an explicit lance-core.version; numbered beta and RC versions
are Maven releases, not snapshots. Maven Central remains available for stable
and historical versions, as well as other dependencies.
Build:
./mvnw install -pl lancedb-core -am
Run tests:
./mvnw test -pl lancedb-core
