Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Study the existing Rust source code to understand the Lance format (schema, page, and encoding), then design a Java API that mirrors core functionality like reading/writing tables, managing indices, and versioning. Start by setting up a Java project with Maven/Gradle and building a prototype that can read a simple Lance file.
