Will Jones 1cf3917a87 ci: make rust ci faster, get ci green (#2782)
* Add `ci` profile for smaller build caches. This had a meaningful
impact in Lance, and I expect a similar impact here.
https://github.com/lancedb/lance/pull/5236
* Get caching working in Rust. Previously was not working due to
`workspaces: rust`.
* Get caching working in NodeJs lint job. Previously wasn't working
because we installed the toolchain **after** we called `- uses:
Swatinem/rust-cache@v2`, which invalidates the cache locally.
* Fix broken pytest from async io transition
(`pytest.PytestRemovedIn9Warning`)
* Altered `get_num_sub_vectors` to handle bug in case of 4-bit PQ. This
was cause of `rust future panicked: unknown error`. Raised an issue
upstream to change panic to error:
https://github.com/lancedb/lance/issues/5257
* Call `npm run docs` to fix doc issue.
* Disable flakey Windows test for consistency. It's just an OS-specific
timer issue, not our fault.
* Fix Windows absolute path handling in namespaces. Was causing CI
failure `OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume
label syntax is incorrect: `

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.
