Three cleanups to the LsmWriteSpec surface, all removing something: `with_no_maintained_indexes` is gone. `with_maintained_indexes` now takes `impl Into<Option<Vec<String>>>`, so `None` asks for every supported index, a list pins an exact set, and an empty list maintains none — one method covering what two did, and the argument reads the same as the field it sets. `IndexConfig::is_memwal_maintainable` is gone. What a memtable can build is lance's to say, and lance already says it via `is_maintainable_index_type`; mirroring that onto a lancedb type only added a place for the two to drift. `resolve_maintained_indexes` is now public and takes `&[IndexConfig]` rather than a table. It was already the whole of the resolution rules — infer from the committed set, or validate a named one — and a server installing specs on a caller's behalf needs exactly those rules. Sharing it means sophon no longer keeps a second copy that could disagree about what an absent list means, and the error now names the table's indexes so a rejected call says what was actually available.

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
