Ayush Chaurasia 0b9924b432 Make creating (and adding to) tables via Iterators more flexible & intuitive (#430)
It improves the UX as iterators can be of any type supported by the
table (plus recordbatch) & there is no separate requirement.
Also expands the test cases for pydantic & arrow schema.
If this is looks good I'll update the docs.

Example usage:
```
class Content(LanceModel):
    vector: vector(2)
    item: str
    price: float

def make_batches():
    for _ in range(5):
        yield from [ 
        # pandas
        pd.DataFrame({
            "vector": [[3.1, 4.1], [1, 1]],
            "item": ["foo", "bar"],
            "price": [10.0, 20.0],
        }),
        
        # pylist
        [
            {"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
            {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0},
        ],

        # recordbatch
        pa.RecordBatch.from_arrays(
            [
                pa.array([[3.1, 4.1], [5.9, 26.5]], pa.list_(pa.float32(), 2)),
                pa.array(["foo", "bar"]),
                pa.array([10.0, 20.0]),
            ], 
            ["vector", "item", "price"],
        ),

        # pydantic list
        [
            Content(vector=[3.1, 4.1], item="foo", price=10.0),
            Content(vector=[5.9, 26.5], item="bar", price=20.0),
        ]]

db = lancedb.connect("db")
tbl = db.create_table("tabley", make_batches(), schema=Content, mode="overwrite")

tbl.add(make_batches())
```
Same should with arrow schema.

LanceDB

A Python library for LanceDB.

Installation

pip install 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_df()
print(results)

Development

Create a virtual environment and activate it:

python -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate

Install the necessary packages:

python -m pip install .

To run the unit tests:

pytest

To run linter and automatically fix all errors:

black .
isort .

If any packages are missing, install them with:

pip install <PACKAGE_NAME>

For Windows users, there may be errors when installing packages, so these commands may be helpful:

Activate the virtual environment:

. .\venv\Scripts\activate

You may need to run the installs separately:

pip install -e .[tests]
pip install -e .[dev]

tantivy requires rust to be installed, so install it with conda, as it doesn't support windows installation:

pip install wheel
pip install cargo
conda install rust
pip install tantivy

To run the unit tests:

pytest
