_TwoPhaseSplitReader retains _plan_block_pos/_plan_local_offset for its whole lifetime, one entry per row in the entire split (not bounded by window_blocks -- see the open whole-split-memory review thread), so their dtype is a real per-row memory cost, not a rounding choice. Both were int64 despite holding small values: block_pos is a block index (bounded by this split's block count) and local_offset is an in-block row offset (bounded by block_size), both far smaller than the row-rank range sigma/order need int64 for. Switch to int32, falling back to int64 only if a single split's block count or block size itself exceeds what int32 can represent (practically never). Halves this bookkeeping's memory cost for any realistic config, as a stopgap short of the full lazy/windowed redesign that would bound it by window_blocks instead of split size -- deliberately deferred, since that touches the same hot-path indexing logic as the prefetch-loop regression fixed earlier and deserves its own dedicated pass. Added a regression test pinning the dtype (so a future change can't silently regress it back to int64) and checking values are still correct, not just narrower. Full suite: 211 passed.

The ultimate multimodal data platform for AI/ML applications.
LanceDB is designed for fast, scalable, and production-ready vector search. It is built on top of the Lance columnar format. You can store, index, and search over petabytes of multimodal data and vectors with ease. LanceDB is a central location where developers can build, train and analyze their AI workloads.
Demo: Multimodal Search by Keyword, Vector or with SQL
Star LanceDB to get updates!
Key Features:
- Fast Vector Search: Search billions of vectors in milliseconds with state-of-the-art indexing.
- Comprehensive Search: Support for vector similarity search, full-text search and SQL.
- Multimodal Support: Store, query and filter vectors, metadata and multimodal data (text, images, videos, point clouds, and more).
- Advanced Features: Zero-copy, automatic versioning, manage versions of your data without needing extra infrastructure. GPU support in building vector index.
Products:
- Open Source & Local: 100% open source, runs locally or in your cloud. No vendor lock-in.
