Index metadata APIs now resolve stored field ids back to Lance canonical field paths instead of leaf names, so nested indexes such as `metadata.user_id` and escaped literal-dot fields round-trip through `list_indices()`. Native index creation also canonicalizes the input path before handing it to Lance, keeping local metadata consistent with the field-path contract while remote responses continue to expose server-provided canonical columns. Fixes #3403.
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
