LanceDB is an open-source database for vector-search built with persistent storage, which greatly simplifies retrieval, filtering and management of embeddings.
|
|
|
|
The key features of LanceDB include:
|
|
|
|
* Production-scale vector search with no servers to manage.
|
|
|
|
* Store, query and filter vectors, metadata and multi-modal data (text, images, videos, point clouds, and more).
|
|
|
|
* Support for vector similarity search, full-text search and SQL.
|
|
|
|
* Native Python and Javascript/Typescript support.
|
|
|
|
* Zero-copy, automatic versioning, manage versions of your data without needing extra infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
* GPU support in building vector index(*).
|
|
|
|
* Ecosystem integrations with [LangChain 🦜️🔗](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/vectorstores/lancedb/), [LlamaIndex 🦙](https://gpt-index.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/vector_stores/LanceDBIndexDemo.html), Apache-Arrow, Pandas, Polars, DuckDB and more on the way.
|
|
|
|
LanceDB's core is written in Rust 🦀 and is built using <a href="https://github.com/lancedb/lance">Lance</a>, an open-source columnar format designed for performant ML workloads.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
**Javascript**
|
|
```shell
|
|
npm install @lancedb/lancedb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
|
|
|
|
const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
|
|
const table = await db.createTable("vectors", [
|
|
{ id: 1, vector: [0.1, 0.2], item: "foo", price: 10 },
|
|
{ id: 2, vector: [1.1, 1.2], item: "bar", price: 50 },
|
|
], {mode: 'overwrite'});
|
|
|
|
|
|
const query = table.vectorSearch([0.1, 0.3]).limit(2);
|
|
const results = await query.toArray();
|
|
|
|
// You can also search for rows by specific criteria without involving a vector search.
|
|
const rowsByCriteria = await table.query().where("price >= 10").toArray();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Python**
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip install lancedb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import lancedb
|
|
|
|
uri = "data/sample-lancedb"
|
|
db = lancedb.connect(uri)
|
|
table = db.create_table("my_table",
|
|
data=[{"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
|
|
{"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
|
|
result = table.search([100, 100]).limit(2).to_pandas()
|
|
```
