Closes client side work of #3370 ### Summary - Plumbs `read_consistency_interval` from `ConnectBuilder` through `RestfulLanceDbClient` so remote reads attach an `x-lancedb-min-timestamp` freshness header. None = no header (default), zero = "now", positive = `now - interval`. - Adds per-table `FreshnessState` on `RemoteTable`: write responses (`update`, `delete`, `merge_insert`, `add_columns`, `alter_columns`, `drop_columns`) track the committed version, and the next read sends `x-lancedb-min-version` so the server's cache honors read-your-write. - `checkout(v)` / `checkout_tag(t)` / `checkout_latest()` / `restore()` reset the freshness state appropriately; the validating `/describe/` and tag-resolve requests are sent without freshness headers so they don't carry stale state. - Updates Rust, Python, and Node docstrings and calls out that stronger consistency raises per-read latency and cost. ### Testing - Unit tests cover default behavior, interval=0, positive interval, checkout_latest baseline, min_version-after-write, checkout clears state, and the two no-stale-header invariants on `checkout(v)` and `checkout_tag(t)`. - Ran smoke tests against local remote table to verify functionality
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)
