Covers both the pylance format and the lancedb API.\nlicense: MIT\n---\n\n# Lance Data Format Expert\n\n## Scope\n\nDesign, debugging, and optimization of Lance and LanceDB systems for ML-native\ndata, embeddings, vector retrieval, and multimodal storage.\n\nCovers the Lance format and LanceDB specifically. For general lakehouse table\nformats use the `iceberg` or `paimon` skills.\n\n## Current Facts\n\n- **Lance format project:** v9.0.0, released July 24, 2026. `pylance` 9.0.0 on PyPI. v10.0.0 is in beta; do not present beta as the stable recommendation.\n- **LanceDB Python:** 0.36.0, released July 29, 2026. `python-v0.35.0` never shipped a stable build, so PyPI goes 0.34.0 straight to 0.36.0.\n- **The Lance repository moved** from `lancedb/lance` to `lance-format/lance`, with homepage `lance.org`. The old URL redirects.\n- **Release tags collide across languages.** LanceDB Python releases are tagged `python-vX.Y.Z`, while bare `vX.Y.Z` tags are the Node and Rust clients. A bare `v0.33.0` tag published July 28, 2026 is Node/Rust, not Python. Never read a bare tag as a Python version.\n- **Python packages:** install `pylance` for the Lance format and `lancedb` for the embedded/vector database API. The bare `lance` name on PyPI is an unrelated package by a different author. `lancedb-compat` is a same-API wheel for pre-Haswell x86_64 hosts without AVX2.\n- **Python support:** both packages declare `requires-python >=3.10`. The `cp39-abi3` wheel tag is an ABI compatibility marker, not an install gate, so 3.9 does not work despite what the filename suggests.\n- **Vector index types:** `IVF_FLAT`, `IVF_SQ`, `IVF_PQ`, `IVF_HNSW_SQ`, `IVF_HNSW_PQ`, `IVF_HNSW_FLAT`, and `IVF_RQ`.\n- **Recent breaking changes:** v8.0.0 moved the bitmap index to a segment-based architecture and moved distributed BTree builds into the segmented index framework. v9.0.0 made FTS v2 the default index format and renamed `FMIndexIndexDetails` to `FMIndexDetails`.\n\n## Inspect First\n\nEstablish before recommending or changing anything:\n\n1. Whether this is a **Lance format** question (`pylance`, `.lance`, dataset\n   versioning, storage layout) or a **LanceDB** question (`lancedb`, tables,\n   search, indexes, reranking). The APIs differ.\n2. Installed versions of both packages, and verify API names against the\n   installed version before writing detailed code.\n3. Row count, vector dimensionality, and fragment count. Whether an index is\n   needed at all depends on these.\n4. Storage location. Object storage changes the latency model completely.\n5. For search-quality complaints, the current index type and parameters and the\n   measured recall, before changing anything.\n\n## Decision Rules\n\n- Build a vector index only once the dataset is large enough to need one.\n  Brute-force search on a small dataset is often faster and always exact.\n- Choose the index for the binding constraint: IVF_PQ for large\n  memory-constrained datasets at some recall cost, IVF_HNSW_FLAT for higher\n  recall at higher memory cost, IVF_RQ when memory reduction matters more than\n  either.\n- Add scalar indexes on frequently filtered columns and combine filtering with\n  vector search to shrink the candidate set.\n- Use full-text or hybrid search when relevance depends on language rather than\n  on vector distance alone.\n- Batch writes. Each write creates a fragment, and fragment count drives read\n  amplification.\n- On object storage, expect latency bounded by serial metadata, index, and\n  data-page round trips rather than by bandwidth.\n- Prefer `list_tables()` over the deprecated `table_names()`, and session-level\n  cache configuration over the deprecated per-table `index_cache_size`.\n\n## Safety\n\n- Compaction and version cleanup permanently drop older dataset versions and\n  the ability to time travel to them. Confirm nothing pins an old version\n  first.\n- Overwrite mode replaces the table rather than appending. Confirm the intended\n  write mode against an existing table.\n- Rebuilding an index on a large dataset is expensive in time and memory. State\n  the expected cost before starting one.\n- Keep object storage credentials out of code and notebooks; use environment\n  variables or platform secrets.\n\n## Verify\n\n- After building an index, confirm it exists and that query latency actually\n  changed. Do not assume the index is being used.\n- Measure recall against a brute-force baseline on a sample before accepting an\n  ANN configuration. Report the measured number.\n- After compaction, compare fragment count and query latency before and after.\n- Report row count, index type and parameters, and measured latency and recall,\n  rather than claiming an index should help.\n\n## Update Checklist\n\n- Confirm latest `lance-format/lance` release before changing SDK guidance.\n- Confirm latest stable `lancedb` release on PyPI before changing Python\n  guidance, and read `python-v*` tags rather than bare `v*` tags.\n","tagline":"Design, index, query, and tune Lance datasets and LanceDB tables for ML and AI workloads.
