Will Jones 272e4103b2 feat: provide timeout parameter for merge_insert (#2378)
Provides the ability to set a timeout for merge insert. The default
underlying timeout is however long the first attempt takes, or if there
are multiple attempts, 30 seconds. This has two use cases:

1. Make the timeout shorter, when you want to fail if it takes too long.
2. Allow taking more time to do retries.

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)
