Summary

The client now honors read_consistency_interval for remote tables (LanceDB Cloud and Enterprise), sending freshness headers on reads and automatically pinning the minimum version after a write so you read your own writes.

Changes

  • Updated the consistency page to state read_consistency_interval works for both local and remote tables.
  • Replaced the "remote tables don't support this" callout with one that explains the freshness header, read-your-write behavior, and how checkout / restore reset that state.
  • Added a note that stronger consistency raises per-read latency and cost.

Context

Reflects the client-side work shipped in lancedb/lancedb#3439, which plumbs read_consistency_interval through the remote client and adds per-table freshness tracking on write responses.
