Chang She bc850e6add feat(python): add optional threadpool for batch requests (#981)
Currently if a batch request is given to the remote API, each query is
sent sequentially. We should allow the user to specify a threadpool.

Parameters
----------
uri: str or Path
The uri of the database.
api_key: str, optional
If presented, connect to LanceDB cloud.
Otherwise, connect to a database on file system or cloud storage.
Can be set via environment variable `LANCEDB_API_KEY`.
region: str, default "us-east-1"
The region to use for LanceDB Cloud.
host_override: str, optional
The override url for LanceDB Cloud.
read_consistency_interval: timedelta, default None
(For LanceDB OSS only)
The interval at which to check for updates to the table from other
processes. If None, then consistency is not checked. For performance
reasons, this is the default. For strong consistency, set this to
zero seconds. Then every read will check for updates from other
processes. As a compromise, you can set this to a non-zero timedelta
for eventual consistency. If more than that interval has passed since
the last check, then the table will be checked for updates. Note: this
consistency only applies to read operations. Write operations are
always consistent.
request_thread_pool: int or ThreadPoolExecutor, optional
The thread pool to use for making batch requests to the LanceDB Cloud API.
If an integer, then a ThreadPoolExecutor will be created with that
number of threads. If None, then a ThreadPoolExecutor will be created
with the default number of threads. If a ThreadPoolExecutor, then that
executor will be used for making requests. This is for LanceDB Cloud
only and is only used when making batch requests (i.e., passing in
multiple queries to the search method at once).
Examples
--------
For a local directory, provide a path for the database:
>>> import lancedb
>>> db = lancedb.connect("~/.lancedb")
For object storage, use a URI prefix:
>>> db = lancedb.connect("s3://my-bucket/lancedb")
Connect to LancdDB cloud:
>>> db = lancedb.connect("db://my_database", api_key="ldb_...")
Returns
-------
conn : DBConnection
A connection to a LanceDB database.
