Ayush Chaurasia 2f13fa225f Chore (python): Better retry loop logging when embedding api fails (#1267)
https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/1266#event-12703166915

This happens because openai API errors out with None values. The current
log level didn't really print out the msg on screen. Changed the log
level to warning, which better suits this case.

Also, retry loop can be disabled by setting `max_retries=0` (I'm not
sure if we should also set this as the default behaviour as hitting api
rate is quite common when ingesting large corpus)

```
func = get_registry().get("openai").create(max_retries=0)

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_list()
print(results)

Development

LanceDb is based on the rust crate lancedb and is built with maturin. In order to build with maturin you will either need a conda environment or a virtual environment (venv).

python -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate

Install the necessary packages:

python -m pip install .[tests,dev]

To build the python package you can use maturin:

# This will build the rust bindings and place them in the appropriate place
# in your venv or conda environment
maturin develop

To run the unit tests:

pytest

To run the doc tests:

pytest --doctest-modules python/lancedb

To run linter and automatically fix all errors:

ruff format python
ruff --fix python

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
