Lance table format explained with simple animations (tontinton.com) 30 points by wild_pointer 5mo ago ↗ HN
[–] willtemperley 5mo ago ↗ It's interesting to look at the relationship between this and Apache Arrow."The data types generally have a 1-1 correspondence with the Apache Arrow data types." [1]So it would probably be relatively simple to set up an Arrow Flight endpoint working with LanceDB.[1] https://lance.org/format/table/#manifest
