## Cause On latest-tracking remote tables, `fetch_blob_files` probed a concrete table version but retained `None` on each handle. Later range reads resolved the latest version again, so an update or delete could make an opened handle fail. ## Fix For nonempty blobs, capture `x-lancedb-version` from the 206 size probe and include it on every later range request. Reject a nonempty probe without a valid version. Accept an empty-blob 416 probe with or without that header, because an empty handle makes no later data range request. The Python remote mock now covers both response shapes. ## Limitation A table dropped and recreated with the same name can reuse version numbers and row addresses. Version pinning does not identify the table itself, so an old handle can still return data from the recreated table. That identity case needs a separate fix. Callers that replace a table should discard its old blob handles. ## Validation - `cargo test --quiet --features remote -p lancedb --lib remote::table::blobs::tests` (24 passed) - Rebuilt the Python extension; `uv run --extra tests pytest python/tests/test_remote_db.py -q -k remote_blob` (6 passed) - `cargo clippy --quiet --features remote -p lancedb --lib --tests --examples` - `cargo fmt --all -- --check`, `ruff check .`, and `ruff format .` Fixes #4276 <!-- lance-gatekeeper-fix:v1 agent=e309bdf75b1a87f6492a6dc3ee1bfd81 generation=1 --> --------- Co-authored-by: Gatefixer <313497061+lancedb-gatefixer[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
The Multimodal AI Lakehouse

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
Star LanceDB to get updates!
