Previously, when we loaded the next version of the table, we would block all reads with a write lock. Now, we only do that if `read_consistency_interval=0`. Otherwise, we load the next version asynchronously in the background. This should mean that `read_consistency_interval > 0` won't have a meaningful impact on latency. Along with this change, I felt it was safe to change the default consistency interval to 5 seconds. The current default is `None`, which means we will **never** check for a new version by default. I think that default is contrary to most users expectations.
LanceDB
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

print(results)
