lancedb-gatefixer[bot] 302b21aa94 test(node): cover nested PDF metadata queries (#3827)
## Summary

- add an end-to-end Node regression matching LangChain PDFLoader
metadata
- verify create/query round trips rich nested `loc` and `pdf.info`
fields against the currently configured Apache Arrow peer

## Root cause

LanceDB v0.14 delegated nested object inference to Apache Arrow. Nested
strings were dictionary-encoded with colliding dictionary IDs, so
serializing query results as an IPC file failed with a
dictionary-replacement error. Current `main` recursively infers nested
fields and avoids those invalid dictionaries, but the reported LangChain
path had no end-to-end regression coverage.

## Validation

- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm lint`
- `pnpm run docs`
- `pnpm test --runInBand` (678 passed, 5 skipped)

Fixes #1963

LanceDB JavaScript SDK

A JavaScript library for LanceDB.

Installation

npm install @lancedb/lancedb

This will download the appropriate native library for your platform. We currently support:

  • Linux (x86_64 and aarch64 on glibc and musl)
  • MacOS (Intel and ARM/M1/M2)
  • Windows (x86_64 and aarch64)

Usage

Basic Example

import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
const table = await db.createTable("my_table", [
  { id: 1, vector: [0.1, 1.0], item: "foo", price: 10.0 },
  { id: 2, vector: [3.9, 0.5], item: "bar", price: 20.0 },
]);
const results = await table.vectorSearch([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).toArray();
console.log(results);

The quickstart contains more complete examples.
