Summary

Documents the new Python blob v2 fetch APIs on local tables: lancedb.blob() schema helper, Table.fetch_blob_files() for lazy BlobFile handles, Table.fetch_blobs() for eager bytes, and to_pandas(blob_mode="bytes") on blob v2 columns. Notes that remote tables raise NotImplementedError today and calls out that query results auto-carry the row IDs fetch_* needs. Source: lancedb/lancedb#3578

Changes

  • Add a "Fetch blob v2 payloads on demand" section to tables/multimodal.mdx covering the lancedb.blob() schema helper and the fetch APIs.
  • Explain when to prefer lazy BlobFile handles vs. eager bytes vs. to_pandas(blob_mode="bytes").
  • Document the auto-injected _rowid metadata so users know they can pass query results directly into fetch_*.
