Aligns the LSM stats surface with the MemWAL naming settled upstream in lance-format/lance#7943 and #7957, where the persisted unit became an SSTable. Two terms in this API predate that pass. **Generation -> SSTable.** A `GenerationStats` describes one flushed MemTable, which is an SSTable. The generation *number* is kept — an SSTable is identified by its generation — so only the noun moved. **Bucket -> table shard.** Each entry is one MemWAL shard. "Bucket" names only the hash sharding transform, so it was wrong for `identity` and `year` sharding, which produce shards and no buckets at all. | Before | After | |---|---| | `GenerationStats` | `SsTableStats` | | `BucketStats` | `TableShardStats` | | `LsmStats.buckets` | `LsmStats.table_shards` | | `BucketStats.generations` | `TableShardStats.sstables` | | `include_generation_rows` | `include_sstable_rows` | | `newest_generation` | `newest_sstable_generation` | | `outstanding_generations` | `outstanding_sstables` | Applied across Rust, Python, TypeScript, and Java, including the `get_lsm_stats` JSON field names. `LsmWriteSpec::Bucket` and `num_buckets` are unchanged — those name the sharding transform, not the shard. ## Compatibility Breaking for the MemWAL LSM stats API, which is experimental and paired with a server that renames the same fields. The JSON keys `table_shards` and `sstables` must roll out together with the WAL server change. ## Validation - `cargo check -p lancedb --all-features`, `cargo fmt --all` - `ruff format --check` and `ruff check` on the touched Python - `biome check` on the touched TypeScript The typedoc markdown under `docs/src/js` was updated by hand, not regenerated: `npm run docs` needs the napi-built `./native` types. Worth running `npm run docs` on this branch to confirm the generator agrees.

- MacOS (Intel and ARM/M1/M2)
- Windows (x86_64 and aarch64)
Usage
Basic Example
import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
const table = await db.createTable("my_table", [
{ id: 1, vector: [0.1, 1.0], item: "foo", price: 10.0 },
{ id: 2, vector: [3.9, 0.5], item: "bar", price: 20.0 },
]);
const results = await table.vectorSearch([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).toArray();
console.log(results);
