Opening a database ran `list_tables` three times, opened the settings table
twice, and read and parsed the same settings row three times: once for the stored
vector dimension, once for the version behind the migration check, and once for
config validation. On object storage each of those is a round trip.
`_initialize` now reads both once and threads them down. `_init_tables` and
`_check_migrations` take what it read instead of fetching their own copy, and
`validate_config_compatibility` accepts the settings it should compare against,
still reading for itself when called directly.
Passing the pre-init read to validation is equivalent: nothing between the read
and the validation rewrites `embeddings`, which is all it compares.
The settings read no longer swallows every exception. It did before, when the
only consequence was falling back to the configured vector dimension; now the
same empty result feeds the migration check, where it would read as version
0.0.0 and declare every migration pending. Only decode failures are tolerated,
and a decoded non-object normalizes to {} rather than reaching callers that
expect a mapping.
Every `Store` built its own connection with its own caches and discarded them on
close, so the index a vector query loads was refetched by the next connection.
On object storage that first fetch dominates: measured on a ~500k-chunk 2560-dim
corpus over a ~200ms link, the first query cost ~41s and the second ~3s, and a
new connection reusing the session cost ~7s instead of ~47s.
`connect_lancedb` now passes a process-wide session, keyed on the configured
cache sizes so a caller asking for different sizes gets its own.
Also sets `read_consistency_interval`, defaulting to 30s. It was None, meaning a
connection never re-checked for other processes' writes. Per-call connections hid
that; a shared session makes connections long-lived enough for a reader to go
stale against the ingester.
All three settings reject negatives at the config boundary. A negative cache size
raises OverflowError and a negative interval panics inside Lance, so neither is
catchable further in. Zero stays valid for both: no cache, and check on every
read.
The routing tests now assert the kwargs they care about rather than the full call
signature, since every connection carries the two new kwargs.
check_source_accessible narrowed its handler to ValueError, but Path.exists
re-raises errno values outside its ignored set (EACCES, ENAMETOOLONG). Those
were swallowed before and now escaped into the rebuild sweep the guard exists
to protect. Catch OSError too.
Restore the arity guard in _common_path_prefix: without it an empty list
raises from min() and a single label yields a prefix covering the whole path.
Two tests would have hung rather than failed on regression (the vacuum skip
and the protected-wait cancellation); both are now bounded. The import
vacuum test raced against the done-callback that discards the task, and now
spies on the call instead, with a negative control.
Replace assertions that could not fail: blank-query search against an empty
corpus, a batch flush counted against an empty table, a picture description
asserting its own input state, and an FS scheme check with nothing on disk to
resolve. The get_model matrix asserted only the returned type across 26
cases and now pins the per-provider settings. The three batching tests now
count flushes, which revealed embed-only writes through chunks_table.add
rather than _flush_rebuild_batch.
Cover the remaining paths in the client, context, downloads, title
generation, document tools and store models, and add fail_under=100 so
uncovered lines fail CI.
Six lines that no test can reach get a pragma with its reason: the docling
import guard, the nameless PDF attachment, the FS symlink OSError guard that
resolve(strict=False) absorbs, the docling bbox and LanceDB document-id
shape guards, the tag-retention branch vacuum makes unreachable, and Monty's
Rust-thread print callback.
Fix test_find_config_file_user_config, which wrote its config into the cwd it
had chdir'd to, so the cwd branch answered first and the user-directory
lookup it names was never exercised.
Add vector-index creation tests including the warned failure, chunk
repository get_by_id, list_all pagination, blank-query and precomputed-vector
search, the unknown-score-column guard, settings row recreation, and
replace_for_document with no items.
Convert all LanceDB operations from sync calls wrapped in async
functions to the native async API (connect_async, AsyncConnection,
AsyncTable, AsyncQuery). Database I/O no longer blocks the event loop.
- Store and HaikuRAG use async context managers (async with). Store
initialization is deferred to __aenter__; direct construction
without async with is no longer supported.
- Index creation uses config objects (FTS, BTree, IvfPq) instead of
string-based index_type parameter.
- Upgrade callbacks are async.
- HaikuRAG tracks background vacuum tasks and awaits them in __aexit__
and before destructive rebuild operations to avoid races with
concurrent table mutations.
- temp_db_path fixture uses pytest's tmp_path for reliable async
cleanup.
