Summary
Documents the new
blob_modeargument and PyArrow keyword forwarding on Pythonto_pandas(), surfaced through both local tables and query builders.Changes
tables/multimodal.mdxcovering the threeblob_modevalues (lazy,bytes,descriptions), with guidance on when to use each.to_pandaskwargs from local tables and from query builders.to_pandas()on remote tables still raisesNotImplementedError.Context
Upstream PR aligns LanceDB Python
to_pandas()with Lance's blob-aware pandas conversion: localLanceTable.to_pandas()now delegates to the Lance dataset withblob_modeplus**kwargs, and sync/async queryto_pandas()forward pandas kwargs afterflattenandtimeouthandling. Query APIs intentionally don't acceptblob_mode; remote tables remain unsupported.
