LanceDB RobotandJack Ye e928e374d0 chore: update lance dependency to v15.0.0-beta.16 (#4935)
Update the Rust workspace, Java lance-core, and Python test dependency
to [Lance
v15.0.0-beta.16](https://github.com/lance-format/lance/releases/tag/v15.0.0-beta.16).
Synchronize `python/uv.lock` with the published beta.16 wheels for
Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Run the native Linux x64 wheel build on an eight-core runner, matching
the existing ARM build allocation, after its optimized build repeatedly
exceeded the job deadline on the standard runner.

The dependency update passed Clippy, formatting, and CI-script checks;
the Python lockfile refresh/check passes. Fresh CI is running for the
runner adjustment. Java dependency-resolution failures caused solely by
publication lag are accepted for this upgrade.

LanceDB Java Enterprise Client

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
