Neha Prasad b0800b4b71 fix: undefined values should become null in nullable fields (#2658)
### Bug Fix: Undefined Values in Nullable Fields

**Issue**: When inserting data with `undefined` values into nullable
fields, LanceDB was incorrectly coercing them to default values (`false`
for booleans, `NaN` for numbers, `""` for strings) instead of `null`.

**Fix**: Modified the `makeVector()` function in `arrow.ts` to properly
convert `undefined` values to `null` for nullable fields before passing
data to Apache Arrow.

fixes: #2645

**Result**: Now `{ text: undefined, number: undefined, bool: undefined
}` correctly becomes `{ text: null, number: null, bool: null }` when
fields are marked as nullable in the schema.

**Files Changed**: 
- `nodejs/lancedb/arrow.ts` (core fix)
- `nodejs/__test__/arrow.test.ts` (test coverage)

- This ensures proper null handling for nullable fields as expected by
users.

  • 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);

The quickstart contains a more complete example.
