Update the Rust workspace Lance crates and Python test dependency to [Lance v15.0.0-beta.14](https://github.com/lance-format/lance/releases/tag/v15.0.0-beta.14), which includes JSON cache reuse across request stores and stable-row-ID JSON index support. The Python lock contains all seven published wheels. The independent Java module retains beta.8, as in the previous beta.13 update; its separate beta.14 publisher repair is outside this Rust consumer upgrade. Preserve all CI coverage while reclaiming completed workspace lancedb artifacts before the package-level feature-test build, which otherwise exhausted the Linux runner disk. Give only the Linux ARM64 release-wheel job two hours after its one-hour timeout, retaining the same runner, fat-LTO release profile and build flags. Validation: 2,280 Rust tests passed (79 existing ignores), strict workspace/all-feature Clippy, Rust formatting, and remote example checks passed on unchanged Rust source and dependency lock. Python dependency guards, lock validation, locked sync, and the published macOS wheel import passed. The new Windows ARM64 wheel was downloaded and its SHA-256 verified. Workflow YAML/shell checks and independent review passed. Root Python Ruff/format checks still fail on unchanged documentation examples; no suppressions or unrelated cleanup were added. The CI repairs require a complete new run before readiness. This dependency update does not establish corrected Sophon performance; downstream native acceptance and the paired S3 replay remain separate.

The ultimate multimodal data platform for AI/ML applications.
LanceDB is designed for fast, scalable, and production-ready vector search. It is built on top of the Lance columnar format. You can store, index, and search over petabytes of multimodal data and vectors with ease. LanceDB is a central location where developers can build, train and analyze their AI workloads.
Demo: Multimodal Search by Keyword, Vector or with SQL
