## Summary Java publishing has failed since `v0.42.0-beta.10` because the `lancedb` Sonatype org hit Maven Central's monthly release-count limit: ```text Publishing blocked: your organization has reached its monthly release count limit. Grace period ended 2026-11-08. Usage resets 2026-12-01. ``` This sends beta tags to `https://maven.fury.io/lancedb/` instead, matching how Python publishes betas to `pypi.fury.io/lancedb`. Stable releases still go to Maven Central. ```text tag contains "beta" -> setup-java server "fury" -> mvn deploy -P deploy-to-fury otherwise -> setup-java server "ossrh" -> mvn deploy -P deploy-to-ossrh ``` - `java/pom.xml`: new `deploy-to-fury` profile that points `distributionManagement` at Fury. - `java/README.md`: explains how to add the Fury and `maven.lance.org` repositories to use a beta. Requires a `FURY_TOKEN` secret with push access to the `lancedb` Fury account. The token is passed as the Maven username with a placeholder password. That follows Gemfury's convention but hasn't been tested against Fury yet. ## Evidence Running the beta path locally (`deploy -pl lancedb-core -am -P deploy-to-fury`) against a file repository deployed `lancedb-parent` (POM) and `lancedb-core` (JAR, POM, sources, javadoc). `help:effective-pom -P deploy-to-fury` resolves the release repository to `https://maven.fury.io/lancedb/`. ## Merge Risk **Door:** Two-way. This only changes where future betas are published; reverting the workflow restores Central publishing. **Blast Radius:** `release-ci`. Beta consumers need the extra repository; stable consumers are unaffected. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

LanceDB Java Enterprise Client
Installation
Stable releases of com.lancedb:lancedb-core are published to Maven Central.
Beta releases are published to https://maven.fury.io/lancedb/ instead. They
depend on Lance beta releases, which are published to https://maven.lance.org.
To use a beta, add both repositories alongside Maven Central:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>lancedb</id>
<url>https://maven.fury.io/lancedb/</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>lance</id>
<url>https://maven.lance.org</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
For Gradle:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url = uri("https://maven.fury.io/lancedb/") }
maven { url = uri("https://maven.lance.org") }
}
Use an explicit version, including the full -beta.N suffix. Beta versions are
Maven releases, not SNAPSHOT versions.
Configuration and Initialization
LanceDB Cloud (legacy)
For LanceDB Cloud, the legacy hosted service, use the simplified builder API:
import com.lancedb.LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder;
import org.lance.namespace.LanceNamespace;
// If your DB url is db://example-db, then your database here is example-db
LanceNamespace namespaceClient = LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder.newBuilder()
.apiKey("your_lancedb_cloud_api_key")
.database("your_database_name")
.build();
LanceDB Enterprise
For LanceDB Enterprise deployments, use your custom endpoint:
LanceNamespace namespaceClient = LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder.newBuilder()
.apiKey("your_lancedb_enterprise_api_key")
.database("your_database_name")
.endpoint("<your_enterprise_endpoint>")
.build();
RTE write path
Most table operations reach LanceDB through the LanceNamespace above, which is
generated from the Lance Namespace specification. The RTE LSM routes are not part
of that specification, so they are issued through a separate client:
import com.lancedb.LanceDbRestClient;
import com.lancedb.LanceDbTableRTE;
import com.lancedb.RTEWriteSpec;
LanceDbRestClient client = LanceDbNamespaceClientBuilder.newBuilder()
.apiKey("your_lancedb_cloud_api_key")
.database("your_database_name")
.buildRestClient();
LanceDbTableRTE rte = new LanceDbTableRTE(client, "my_table");
// Route future merge_insert upserts through the RTE, hash-bucketed by `id`.
rte.enableRTE(RTEWriteSpec.bucket("id", 16));
// ... merge_insert traffic ...
// Converge the fresh tier into the base table.
rte.checkpointRTE();
// Inspect live per-table-shard state.
rte.getRTEStats().ifPresent(stats -> stats.tableShards().forEach(tableShard ->
System.out.println(tableShard.shardId() + ": " + tableShard.sstables().size() + " SSTables")));
client.close();
maintainedIndexes is tri-state, and the null default is the opposite of what a Java
reader usually expects:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| unset (null) | Maintain every index the table has, including ones created later |
Collections.emptyList() |
Maintain none |
Arrays.asList("id_idx") |
Maintain exactly those |
Development
The parent POM includes https://maven.lance.org to resolve Lance beta and RC
dependencies. Use an explicit lance-core.version; numbered beta and RC versions
are Maven releases, not snapshots. Maven Central remains available for stable
and historical versions, as well as other dependencies.
Build:
./mvnw install -pl lancedb-core -am
Run tests:
./mvnw test -pl lancedb-core
