This includes several improvements and fixes to the Python Async query builders: 1. The API reference docs show all the methods for each builder 2. The hybrid query builder now has all the same setter methods as the vector search one, so you can now set things like `.distance_type()` on a hybrid query. 3. Re-rankers are now properly hooked up and tested for FTS and vector search. Previously the re-rankers were accidentally bypassed in unit tests, because the builders overrode `.to_arrow()`, but the unit test called `.to_batches()` which was only defined in the base class. Now all builders implement `.to_batches()` and leave `.to_arrow()` to the base class. 4. The `AsyncQueryBase` and `AsyncVectoryQueryBase` setter methods now return `Self`, which provides the appropriate subclass as the type hint return value. Previously, `AsyncQueryBase` had them all hard-coded to `AsyncQuery`, which was unfortunate. (This required bringing in `typing-extensions` for older Python version, but I think it's worth it.)
LanceDB
A Python library for LanceDB.
Installation
pip install lancedb
Preview Releases
Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.
pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ 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)
