Adds the client half of database-scoped named Secrets: a Secret is a
name and
an opaque value stored by the service, and a Function binds one to the
environment variable its library already reads. Secrets are addressed by
a
namespace path plus a name.
The UDF body is unchanged and stays portable — it reads `OPENAI_API_KEY`
the
way it always did, and the binding is what puts a value there:
```python
db.create_secret("openai-prod", os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"])
function = db.create_function(
analyze_caption,
secrets=[
EnvVarSecret(secret_name="openai-prod", env_variable="OPENAI_API_KEY")
],
)
function.secret_bindings # the Secret's name, never its value
```
- `create_secret` / `alter_secret` / `list_secrets` / `describe_secret`
/
`drop_secret` on sync, async and remote connections, with the pyo3
binding
and the Rust client behind them. Each takes `namespace_path`
keyword-only,
defaulting to the root.
- **There is no read API, by construction rather than by policy** — no
code
path returns a stored credential, and `describe_secret` answers with
metadata only.
- `EnvVarSecret` is a pure local constructor: it contacts no server, so
it
cannot fail on a Secret that does not exist. It exists so that a bare
string
in that position — which would be a credential — is a `TypeError` rather
than a plausible-looking mistake that reads identically in a diff.
- `create_function(..., secrets=[...])` carries the bindings as
`secret_bindings`: a list of `SecretBinding` tagged by `kind`, so a
later
delivery mode is a variant rather than a sibling field. The value never
travels — it is resolved by the service when the Function runs, which is
what
lets a rotation reach columns already pinned to an older
FunctionVersion.
- A binding names its Secret as a `SecretReference` of `{name,
namespace_path}`
rather than one joined string, so no delimiter has to be excluded from
every
name and segment forever, and `ClientConfig.id_delimiter` cannot
contradict
an identity built on a fixed separator.
- A root namespace is omitted from the request body rather than sent
empty, so
a root request is byte-identical to one from a client that predates
namespaces. Tests pin it.
This is the client surface the design's §4 describes; the service side
lives in
sophon.
**Previously split across two PRs.** Namespace addressing was #4151,
stacked on
this one; it is folded in here so the Secret identity contract — name,
namespace path, and the binding that carries both — is reviewable as one
piece
rather than as a shape introduced and then replaced.
## Identifier safety, merged from #4189
**#4189 is merged into this branch**, so the client half of Secrets and
the
guards on the identity it puts in the URL are one PR. What it added:
- Components are checked where the identifier is built, before a request
is
constructed. `create_secret("../jobs", value)` no longer resolves to
`/v1/jobs/create` and delivers a credential-bearing body to a route with
none
of this one's body suppression.
- Each component is percent-encoded and joined by the delimiter, so
nothing
inside a component can end the path segment or add one.
- A component may not be empty, a relative segment (`.`, `..`, and their
`%2e`
spellings), or the delimiter itself — the three ways a component erases
a
boundary the split has to recover. `["prod", ""]` joined to `prod$`,
which
reads back as `["prod"]`.
- `$` is the only accepted `id_delimiter`, refused at client
construction.
`ClientConfig.id_delimiter` remains, since the identifier grammar comes
from
the Lance REST catalog standard, but a value that would produce
identifiers no
service splits the caller's way is now an error where it was written.
- One `build_object_identifier` and one character set serve tables,
namespaces,
Secrets, Functions and materialized views.
Components are checked for *addressability*, not a character set: the
name's
own grammar stays each object's own, so a catalog database keeps the `/`
that
`RemoteCatalog::validate_name` allows.
## Known shortcoming
`secret_bindings` is omitted from a registration body when empty, so a
client
that binds nothing sends what a client without bindings sends. When a
client
does bind a Secret and the service does not know the field, the field is
ignored: registration succeeds, the returned version carries no
bindings, and
the Function fails at execution with the variable unset, far from the
call that
asked for it.
`ServerVersion` is how this codebase refuses a feature the service is
too old
for, and it gates five features already. It does not gate this one: it
is held
per table, and registering a Function is a database-level call. Noted at
the
field in `remote/db.rs`; wiring the gate is follow-up work.
**Tests:** lancedb lib 1340 passed, `first_class_function_slice1` 9,
`first_class_function_slice2` 3, plus Python tests across both slices.
Rebased onto `main` after #4176 (OCI Function identity), #4191 (`.`/`..`
table
names) and #4195 (remote catalogs).
