Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

The access token received from the authorization server in the OAuth 2.0 flow.

Path Parameters

id
string
required

string identifier of an object in a namespace, following the Lance Namespace spec. When the value is equal to the delimiter, it represents the root namespace. For example, v1/namespace/$/list performs a ListNamespace on the root namespace.

Query Parameters

delimiter
string

An optional delimiter of the string identifier, following the Lance Namespace spec. When not specified, the $ delimiter must be used.

Body

application/json
identity
object

Identity information of a request.

context
object

Arbitrary context as key-value pairs. How to use the context is custom to the specific implementation.

On a request, it carries caller-provided context to the implementation. On a response, it carries implementation-provided context back to the caller.

REST NAMESPACE ONLY Context entries are mapped to and from HTTP headers using the header. prefix:

  • On a request, any entry whose key starts with header. is sent as an HTTP request header with the prefix stripped. For example, the entry {"header.Authorization": "Bearer abc"} is sent as the request header Authorization: Bearer abc.
  • On a response, every HTTP response header is returned as an entry whose key is the header name prefixed with header.. For example, the response header x-request-id: abc123 is returned as the entry {"header.x-request-id": "abc123"}.
id
string[]
mode
string

The mode for dropping a namespace, deciding the server behavior when the namespace to drop is not found. Case insensitive, supports both PascalCase and snake_case. Valid values are:

  • Fail (default): the server must return 400 indicating the namespace to drop does not exist.
  • Skip: the server must return 204 indicating the drop operation has succeeded.
behavior
string

The behavior for dropping a namespace. Case insensitive, supports both PascalCase and snake_case. Valid values are:

  • Restrict (default): the namespace should not contain any table or child namespace when drop is initiated. If tables are found, the server should return error and not drop the namespace.
  • Cascade: all tables and child namespaces in the namespace are dropped before the namespace is dropped.

Response

Result of dropping a namespace

context
object

Arbitrary context as key-value pairs. How to use the context is custom to the specific implementation.

On a request, it carries caller-provided context to the implementation. On a response, it carries implementation-provided context back to the caller.

  • On a response, every HTTP response header is returned as an entry whose key is the header name prefixed with header.. For example, the response header x-request-id: abc123 is returned as the entry {"header.x-request-id": "abc123"}.
properties
object

If the implementation does not support namespace properties, it should return null for this field. Otherwise it should return the properties.

transaction_id
string[]

If present, indicating the operation is long running and should be tracked using DescribeTransaction
