Remote `merge_insert` buffered its reader into a `Vec<RecordBatch>`, losing the schema when the reader yielded no batches. Scanning that vector failed before the request could reach the server. Preserve the reader's schema in an empty record batch when buffering produces no batches. The source remains replayable for retries, and empty-source merges still reach the server so `when_not_matched_by_source_delete` can apply deletes. The regression tests decode the outgoing Arrow IPC and verify the source schema, zero rows, merge options, and result statistics on an initial request and a retry after HTTP 409. They cover readers with no batches and readers with an empty batch, in insert and delete modes, including an ID-only delete source. Validation: - Before the fix, both no-batch cases reproduced `Cannot scan an empty Vec<RecordBatch>`; the empty-batch cases passed. - `cargo test --quiet --profile ci --features remote -p lancedb --lib remote::table::tests::test_merge_insert` — 9 passed. - `cargo fmt --all` and `cargo fmt --all -- --check`. - `cargo clippy --quiet --profile ci --features remote -p lancedb --tests --examples`.

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
Star LanceDB to get updates!
