lancedb-gatefixer[bot]andXuanwo 2cd635d41c fix: correct remote materialized view refresh results and options (#4672)
Remote materialized-view refreshes drained the SQL result and then
fabricated `mode=rebuild`, `rows_written=<total view rows>`, and
`source_version=0`. This made incremental refreshes report incorrect
statistics.

Make these three result fields optional across Rust, Python, and
TypeScript, and leave them unset for remote SQL refreshes. Remove the
post-refresh row count request. Local refreshes continue to populate all
metrics, and `version` remains the view version observed after
completion. Remote per-operation statistics remain unavailable until the
SQL job adapter can retrieve them.

Expose the forced-rebuild option through the Rust builder,
synchronous/asynchronous Python refresh and job methods, and TypeScript
refresh. Remote `full=true` sends `WITH (full = true)`; the default lets
the server choose its refresh mode. Local source-version pinning and
remote job cancellation are preserved.

Local refresh regression tests respect the `experimental-functions`
build gate, while remote refresh coverage also runs in default builds.

Validation:

- Rust: 20 materialized-view tests and 21 remote SQL tests passed with
`remote,experimental-functions`; `cargo fmt --all` passed.
- Python: rebuilt the extension in the uv-managed environment. The
default build passed 23 tests with 27 feature-dependent skips. The
opt-in build passed 61 tests with 3 expected default-build-only skips,
covering the materialized-view suite and 14 async query-serialization
cases from current main. Python Ruff lint and formatting checks passed.
- TypeScript: default and opt-in native builds and TypeScript
compilation passed. The default build passed 5 tests with 10 expected
feature-dependent skips; the opt-in build passed all 14
materialized-view tests with the default-build-only test skipped.
Lint/format checks and documentation generation passed.
- Repository-wide `ruff check .` reports 48 pre-existing violations in
unchanged `docs/web-tests` files; `ruff check python` passes.

Fixes #4670

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.
