Jack Ye e3893dacf8 feat: cache namespace_client and auto-delegate child namespace operations
LanceDBConnection now:
- Caches namespace_client() result to avoid repeated DirectoryNamespace builds
- Auto-delegates open_table/create_table with non-empty namespace_path
  through the directory namespace client
- Routes create_namespace/drop_namespace/describe_namespace/list_namespaces
  through the namespace client
- Routes list_tables/drop_table for child namespaces through namespace client

This enables local storage connections to transparently handle child
namespaces like ["__system"] without requiring a separate
LanceNamespaceDBConnection.

LanceDB Python SDK

A Python library for LanceDB.

Installation

pip install lancedb

Preview Releases

Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.

pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb

Usage

Basic Example

import lancedb
db = lancedb.connect('<PATH_TO_LANCEDB_DATASET>')
table = db.open_table('my_table')
results = table.search([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).to_list()
print(results)
