Description

Parent PRD

#7331

What to build

Make ObjectStore::create return writers passed through the Lance-level wrapper for all schemes. LocalWriter stays specialized (temp-file atomic write) but is wrapped the same way as cloud ObjectWriter, so a wrapper observes buffered writes, multipart uploads, and shutdown uniformly.

Acceptance criteria

  • create returns wrapped writers for local, cloud, and any other scheme
  • LocalWriter atomic-write behavior preserved behind the wrapper
  • Test: a wrapper observes writes + shutdown on a file:// path (no file-object-store://)
  • Existing write/commit tests pass

Blocked by

  • Blocked by #7332

Design sections addressed

  • Phase 3 (Move Write Paths Behind Lance Writers)

Research direction

Start with ObjectStore::create and trace the Lance-level wrapper through LocalWriter and cloud ObjectWriter paths after blocked issue #7332 is resolved. Verify that file:// writes and shutdown are observed by the wrapper while LocalWriter atomic behavior remains intact, then run the existing write/commit tests.
