## Summary - add a merge-insert regression test whose fixed-size-list child count crosses `u32::MAX` - verify delete-by-source updates the matching row, deletes every other row, and completes without an Arrow panic - use a null child array so the boundary case avoids allocating a real vector payload ## Root cause and fix The affected Lance merge fallback carried the target payload through a full outer hash join. Arrow's fixed-size-list take kernel uses `u32` child indices, so taking a target row whose child offset crossed `u32::MAX` wrapped the offset and produced child data shorter than the parent array, triggering the reported `ArrayData::slice` assertion. The projection-aware merge path in the Lance version now used by `main` avoids materializing the target fixed-size-list payload in that join. This regression test locks in that production behavior at the exact child-index boundary. ## Validation - `cargo fmt --all` - `cargo test --quiet --features remote -p lancedb test_merge_insert_fixed_size_list_above_u32_child_count` - `cargo check --quiet --features remote --tests --examples` - `cargo clippy --quiet --features remote --tests --examples` Fixes #2874 <!-- lance-gatekeeper-fix:v1 agent=582e68bcad65739e189352cb3cbf144c generation=3 --> Co-authored-by: Gatefixer <313497061+lancedb-gatefixer[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

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
