Will Jones 1cf3917a87 ci: make rust ci faster, get ci green (#2782)
* Add `ci` profile for smaller build caches. This had a meaningful
impact in Lance, and I expect a similar impact here.
https://github.com/lancedb/lance/pull/5236
* Get caching working in Rust. Previously was not working due to
`workspaces: rust`.
* Get caching working in NodeJs lint job. Previously wasn't working
because we installed the toolchain **after** we called `- uses:
Swatinem/rust-cache@v2`, which invalidates the cache locally.
* Fix broken pytest from async io transition
(`pytest.PytestRemovedIn9Warning`)
* Altered `get_num_sub_vectors` to handle bug in case of 4-bit PQ. This
was cause of `rust future panicked: unknown error`. Raised an issue
upstream to change panic to error:
https://github.com/lancedb/lance/issues/5257
* Call `npm run docs` to fix doc issue.
* Disable flakey Windows test for consistency. It's just an OS-specific
timer issue, not our fault.
* Fix Windows absolute path handling in namespaces. Was causing CI
failure `OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume
label syntax is incorrect: `

# Contributing to LanceDB Typescript
This document outlines the process for contributing to LanceDB Typescript.
For general contribution guidelines, see [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Project layout
The Typescript package is a wrapper around the Rust library, `lancedb`. We use
the [napi-rs](https://napi.rs/) library to create the bindings between Rust and
Typescript.
* `src/`: Rust bindings source code
* `lancedb/`: Typescript package source code
* `__test__/`: Unit tests
* `examples/`: An npm package with the examples shown in the documentation
## Development environment
To set up your development environment, you will need to install the following:
1. Node.js 14 or later
2. Rust's package manager, Cargo. Use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) to install.
3. [protoc](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/) (Protocol Buffers compiler)
Initial setup:
```shell
npm install
```
### Commit Hooks
It is **highly recommended** to install the [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) hooks to ensure that your
code is formatted correctly and passes basic checks before committing:
```shell
pre-commit install
```
## Development
Most common development commands can be run using the npm scripts.
Build the package
```shell
npm install
npm run build
```
Lint:
```shell
npm run lint
```
Format and fix lints:
```shell
npm run lint-fix
```
Run tests:
```shell
npm test
```
To run a single test:
```shell
# Single file: table.test.ts
npm test -- table.test.ts
# Single test: 'merge insert' in table.test.ts
npm test -- table.test.ts --testNamePattern=merge\ insert
```
