Ryan Green af54e0ce06 feat: add table stats API (#2363)
* Add a new "table stats" API to expose basic table and fragment
statistics with local and remote table implementations

### Questions
* This is using `calculate_data_stats` to determine total bytes in the
table. This seems like a potentially expensive operation - are there any
concerns about performance for large datasets?

### Notes
* bytes_on_disk seems to be stored at the column level but there does
not seem to be a way to easily calculate total bytes per fragment. This
may need to be added in lance before we can support fragment size
(bytes) statistics.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added a method to retrieve comprehensive table statistics, including
total rows, index counts, storage size, and detailed fragment size
metrics such as minimum, maximum, mean, and percentiles.
- Enabled fetching of table statistics from remote sources through
asynchronous requests.
- Extended table interfaces across Python, Rust, and Node.js to support
synchronous and asynchronous retrieval of table statistics.
- **Tests**
- Introduced tests to verify the accuracy of the new table statistics
feature for both populated and empty tables.

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.
