lancedb

This release introduces an async API for python. This API is more than just an asynchronous API, it shifts the python SDK to be based on the Rust SDK (instead of pylance). This paves the way for long term feature alignment across the SDKs. As a result, this new API is not yet as fully featured as the old API.

Notice

We will no longer be updating the old experimental rust crate (named vectordb). Instead, we are migrating this work to a new rust crate (named lancedb) which will no longer be experimental. There will be breaking changes going from vectordb to lancedb and we will release more details on migration later. The lancedb crate is not yet ready for widespread use.
