Summary
Implements distributed execution for the
VECTOR_SEARCHtable function, enabling Spark-parallel vector similarity search across Lance datasets. When enabled viaspark.sql.lance.search.distributed.enabled=true, the driver plans one Spark task per execution unit(indexed segment or fallback fragment), and each worker runs a local ANN scan or fallback to KNN scan without indexed segment. Results are merged with a global sort on
_distance.This provides horizontal scalability for vector search workloads on large datasets without requiring a centralized vector index server.
