Right now when passing vector and query explicitly for hybrid search , vector_column_name is not deduced. (https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/hybrid_search/hybrid_search/#hybrid-search-in-lancedb ). Because vector and query can be both none when initialising the QueryBuilder in this case. This PR forces deduction of query type if it is set to "hybrid"
LanceDB
A Python library for LanceDB.
Installation
pip install 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)
Development
LanceDb is based on the rust crate lancedb and is built with maturin. In order to build with maturin
you will either need a conda environment or a virtual environment (venv).
python -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
Install the necessary packages:
python -m pip install .[tests,dev]
To build the python package you can use maturin:
# This will build the rust bindings and place them in the appropriate place
# in your venv or conda environment
maturin develop
To run the unit tests:
pytest
To run the doc tests:
pytest --doctest-modules python/lancedb
To run linter and automatically fix all errors:
ruff format python
ruff --fix python
If any packages are missing, install them with:
pip install <PACKAGE_NAME>
For Windows users, there may be errors when installing packages, so these commands may be helpful:
Activate the virtual environment:
. .\venv\Scripts\activate
You may need to run the installs separately:
pip install -e .[tests]
pip install -e .[dev]
tantivy requires rust to be installed, so install it with conda, as it doesn't support windows installation:
pip install wheel
pip install cargo
conda install rust
pip install tantivy
