Sometimes LangChain would insert a single `[np.nan]` as a placeholder if the embedding function failed. This causes a problem for Lance format because then the array can't be stored as a FixedSizedListArray. Instead: 1. By default we remove rows with embedding lengths less than the maximum length in the batch 2. If `strict=True` kwargs is set to True, then a `ValueError` is raised if the embeddings aren't all the same length --------- Co-authored-by: Chang She <chang@lancedb.com>
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_df()
print(results)
Development
Create a virtual environment and activate it:
python -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
Install the necessary packages:
python -m pip install .
To run the unit tests:
pytest
To run linter and automatically fix all errors:
black .
isort .
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
To run the unit tests:
pytest
