Xuanwo 2eba7ebd02 fix: return canonical nested index paths (#3413)
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

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)
