Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**
In the table provider for `lance` in the `scan` method I sometimes have to do a small amount of I/O to load dataset metadata if the metadata is not already in the cache. The `scan` method is async so I assume this is ok. However, I use `spawn_blocking` to trigger this I/O and it fails because the runtime is not active.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The runtime should be attached before calling `scan`.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Currently I work around this by forcing the metadata to be cached before creating the table provider but this is inconvenient.
**Additional context**
Can provide additional details (stack traces, lance reproducers, etc.) on request.
