Lancedb

Notice

We will no longer be updating the old experimental rust crate (named `vectordb`). Instead, we are migrating this work to a new rust crate (named `lancedb`) which will no longer be experimental. There will be breaking changes going from `vectordb` to `lancedb` and we will release more details on migration later. The `lancedb` crate is not yet ready for widespread use.
