Description

Summary

Hi team, using lance in production, I found more often than not, devs need to investigate dataset information to see whether the storage version, compression, file size, etc are properly set.

Use case

Help users and infra devs especially to better understand lance dataset.

Proposed approach

No response

Design constraint check
  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md and this proposal does not conflict with the load-bearing design constraints.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue, so first inspect the existing dataset display flow and clarify the intended infra mode scope. Done should let users inspect dataset internals such as storage version, compression, and file size, with the expected details and interface agreed in advance.
