Weston Pace ed640a76d9 feat: add take_offsets and take_row_ids (#2584)
These operations have existed in lance for a long while and many users
need to drop down to lance for this capability. This PR adds the API and
implements it using filters (e.g. `_rowid IN (...)`) so that in doesn't
currently add any load to `BaseTable`. I'm not sure that is sustainable
as base table implementations may want to specialize how they handle
this method. However, I figure it is a good starting point.

In addition, unlike Lance, this API does not currently guarantee
anything about the order of the take results. This is necessary for the
fallback filter approach to work (SQL filters cannot guarantee result
order)

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 a more complete example.
