Wyatt Alt fc0d917d32 feat: refresh computed columns (#3938)
table.refresh_column("doubled") fills the rows of a declared column that
hold no value, in two passes per fragment: the first scans only the
unfilled
live rows to count exact gains and decide staging, the second streams
the
fragment's physical rows into a standalone column file published in one
DataReplacement -- committed under the dataset's own session -- so peak
memory is bounded by a scan batch. A row that holds a value keeps it;
deleted and already-filled rows never reach the expression, so a poison
value in them cannot fail the refresh. Refresh refuses under an LSM
write
spec, including the mem-wal catch-up flag that outlives unset and marks
retained SSTable rows.

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 more complete examples.
