Description
The read_lance API has already been developed, but this API is more geared towards data processing ETL. It is not very suitable for analysis query scenarios.
A new API is needed to query Lance, such as count, sample, and ANN queries.
The first version should strive to keep the API simple, while not creating new concepts, and should try to reuse the APIs and data structures that lance and ray already have.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing read_lance API and the Lance and Ray APIs and data structures it already uses. Design a simple query API covering count, sample, and ANN queries without introducing new concepts. Done means the design explains how multiple actors can scan Lance concurrently while reusing the existing interfaces.
