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. --------- Co-authored-by: Jack Ye <yezhaoqin@gmail.com>
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
