Tristan Zajonc 81afd8a42f fix: use local random state in FTS test fixtures to prevent flaky failures (#2532)
## Summary
Fixes intermittent CI failures in `test_search_fts[False]` where boolean
FTS queries were returning fewer results than expected due to
non-deterministic test data generation.

## Problem
The test was using global `random` and `np.random` without seeding,
causing the boolean query `MatchQuery("puppy", "text") &
MatchQuery("runs", "text")` to sometimes return only 3 results instead
of the expected 5, leading to `AssertionError: assert 3 == 5`.

## Solution
- Replace global random calls with local `random.Random(42)` and
`np.random.RandomState(42)` objects in test fixtures
- Ensures deterministic test data while maintaining test isolation
- No impact on other tests since random state is scoped to fixtures only

## Test Results
-  `test_search_fts[False]` now passes consistently
-  All other FTS tests continue to pass 
-  No regression in other test suites (verified with `test_basic`)
-  Maintains existing test behavior and coverage

A Python library for LanceDB.

Installation

pip install lancedb

Preview Releases

Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.

pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb

Usage

Basic Example

import lancedb
db = lancedb.connect('<PATH_TO_LANCEDB_DATASET>')
table = db.open_table('my_table')
results = table.search([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).to_list()
print(results)
