If you add timezone information in the Field annotation for a datetime then that will now be passed to the pyarrow data type. I'm not sure how pyarrow enforces timezones, right now, it silently coerces to the timezone given in the column regardless of whether the input had the matching timezone or not. This is probably not the right behavior. Though we could just make it so the user has to make the pydantic model do the validation instead of doing that at the pyarrow conversion layer.
LanceDB is an open-source database for vector-search built with persistent storage, which greatly simplifies retrevial, filtering and management of embeddings.
The key features of LanceDB include:
-
Production-scale vector search with no servers to manage.
-
Store, query and filter vectors, metadata and multi-modal data (text, images, videos, point clouds, and more).
-
Support for vector similarity search, full-text search and SQL.
-
Native Python and Javascript/Typescript support.
-
Zero-copy, automatic versioning, manage versions of your data without needing extra infrastructure.
-
GPU support in building vector index(*).
-
Ecosystem integrations with LangChain 🦜️🔗, LlamaIndex 🦙, Apache-Arrow, Pandas, Polars, DuckDB and more on the way.
LanceDB's core is written in Rust 🦀 and is built using Lance, an open-source columnar format designed for performant ML workloads.
Quick Start
Javascript
npm install vectordb
const lancedb = require('vectordb');
const db = await lancedb.connect('data/sample-lancedb');
const table = await db.createTable('vectors',
[{ id: 1, vector: [0.1, 0.2], item: "foo", price: 10 },
{ id: 2, vector: [1.1, 1.2], item: "bar", price: 50 }])
const query = table.search([0.1, 0.3]).limit(2);
const results = await query.execute();
Python
pip install lancedb
import lancedb
uri = "data/sample-lancedb"
db = lancedb.connect(uri)
table = db.create_table("my_table",
data=[{"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
{"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
result = table.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_pandas()
