Summary

Documents two new environment variables that let you cap the size and duration of individual insert requests when bulk-loading into a remote LanceDB Enterprise table, so large ingests do not exceed the client read timeout.

Changes

  • Added a "Bulk ingests into a remote table" subsection under Ingestion in performance.mdx covering LANCE_CLIENT_MAX_BYTES_PER_REQUEST (default 8 GiB) and LANCE_CLIENT_MAX_REQUEST_DURATION (default half the read timeout), including when to lower each and an example export block.

Context

The remote write path now splits each partition into multiple insert parts uploaded under one upload id, so a single request no longer needs to stay open for the full partition. The two env vars are auto-picked up by the Python and TypeScript clients and are the user-facing knobs for avoiding operation timed out errors on very large ingests. Triggering PR: lancedb/lancedb#3630
