Expose `FunctionRetryPolicy` on Function declarations and refresh overrides, together with `error_policy` and recorded attempt counts. Python uses the Rust validation rules before sending a request; local refreshes reject these Enterprise options. The policy bounds calls and backoff, supports class/message/provider-code matching, and can disable retries with `max_attempts=1`. Batch retry and skip operate on the whole failed call. Requires Enterprise server support for the new policy. Validation: rebuilt the Python extension; 47 targeted Python tests and 10 Rust tests passed. Python `make check`, Rust formatting, and `cargo clippy --features remote --tests --examples -- -D warnings` passed. The additional repository-root Ruff sweep reports existing errors under `docs/web-tests`; the Python workspace checks pass. Draft user guidance covers the supporting server requirement, safe repetition of partial work and whole-batch exhaustion. The guide sections stay hidden until release. Vale 3.24.0 passed for the added draft prose; no paired deployed SDK/server retry acceptance was run. Companion server: https://github.com/lancedb/sophon/pull/9812. BREAKING CHANGE: Rust callers constructing `FunctionRegistrationRequest` or `FunctionErrorRecord` with struct literals must supply the new `retry_policy` or `attempts` field, respectively.

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
