Tevin Wang b731a6aed9 Add docs code testing & documentation syntax changes (#196)
- Creates testing files `md_testing.py` and `md_testing.js` for testing
python and nodejs code in markdown files in the documentation
This listens for HTML tags as well: `<!--[language] code code
code...-->` will create a set-up file to create some mock tables or to
fulfill some assumptions in the documentation.
- Creates a github action workflow that triggers every push/pr to
`docs/**`
- Modifies documentation so tests run (mostly indentation, some small
syntax errors and some missing imports)

A list of excluded files that we need to take a closer look at later on:
```javascript
const excludedFiles = [
  "../src/fts.md",
  "../src/embedding.md",
  "../src/examples/serverless_lancedb_with_s3_and_lambda.md",
  "../src/examples/serverless_qa_bot_with_modal_and_langchain.md",
  "../src/examples/youtube_transcript_bot_with_nodejs.md",
];
```
Many of them can't be done because we need the OpenAI API key :(.
`fts.md` has some issues with the library, I believe this is still
experimental?

Closes #170

LanceDB Multimodal Search


LanceDB is an open-source database for vector-search built with persistent storage, which greatly simplifies retrevial, filtering and management of embeddings.

The key features of LanceDB include:

  • Production-scale vector search with no servers to manage.

  • Store, query and filter vectors, metadata and multi-modal data (text, images, videos, point clouds, and more).

  • Support for vector similarity search, full-text search and SQL.

  • Native Python and Javascript/Typescript support.

  • Zero-copy, automatic versioning, manage versions of your data without needing extra infrastructure.

  • Ecosystem integrations with LangChain 🦜🔗, LlamaIndex 🦙, Apache-Arrow, Pandas, Polars, DuckDB and more on the way.

LanceDB's core is written in Rust 🦀 and is built using Lance, an open-source columnar format designed for performant ML workloads.

Quick Start

Javascript

npm install vectordb
const lancedb = require('vectordb');
const db = await lancedb.connect('data/sample-lancedb');

const table = await db.createTable('vectors', 
      [{ id: 1, vector: [0.1, 0.2], item: "foo", price: 10 },
       { id: 2, vector: [1.1, 1.2], item: "bar", price: 50 }])

const query = table.search([0.1, 0.3]);
query.limit = 20;
const results = await query.execute();

Python

pip install lancedb
import lancedb

uri = "data/sample-lancedb"
db = lancedb.connect(uri)
table = db.create_table("my_table",
                         data=[{"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
                               {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
result = table.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_df()
