The MemWAL LSM scanner resolved one index and capped SSTable exclusion at that index's catch-up watermark. A query can rely on more than one: a hybrid search reads both a vector and a full-text index, and either may lag the other. Gating on whichever was resolved first dropped SSTables holding rows the other index had not yet indexed, and that arm silently returned fewer rows. exclusion_watermarks now takes every index the query relies on and retains to the lowest of their watermarks, and the resolver collects the vector and full-text arms together rather than returning at the first match. A plain scan still uses the compaction watermark alone. Both remaining behaviours are unchanged: an index with no catch-up entry contributes no cap, and a caught-up index falls back to the compaction watermark. Two parts of the safe-retirement query behaviour are not here because they depend on Lance changes this repository cannot yet see -- lancedb pins lance to the v10.1.0-beta.2 tag: - selecting legacy versus safe semantics from the manifest feature bit, so that on an activated table a *missing* coverage entry means "unknown" and retains SSTables rather than reading as "fully caught up"; - collecting scalar and bitmap-family indexes used as prefilters, which needs the filter's referenced columns and so must handle SQL, Substrait and Datafusion filter forms. Both land once lance carries the feature bit and this crate is bumped.

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.
