Wyatt Alt 254688df96 feat: group a materialized view by GROUP BY (#4222)
A view could only map source rows one to one, or one to many through a
FROM-position item, so nothing could see all the rows sharing a key.

A view query now takes `GROUP BY expr, ...` with aggregate projections,
planned and executed by DataFusion over the lance scan. A group spans
fragments, so a grouped view is recomputed in full whenever its source
changes; each row's provenance is its group's smallest source row id.
Such a query is stored as definition format 2, so a reader that predates
grouping reports the view as unrefreshable instead of failing to parse
it.


Stacked on #4190.

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.
