Create a new namespace

Create new namespace id.
During the creation process, the implementation may modify user-provided properties, such as adding additional properties like created_at to user-provided properties, omitting any specific property, or performing actions based on any property value.

    This OpenAPI specification is a part of the Lance namespace specification.
    It contains 2 parts:


    The `components/schemas`, `components/responses`, `components/examples`,
    `tags` sections define

    the request and response shape for each operation in a Lance Namespace
    across all implementations.

    See https://lance.org/format/namespace/operations for more details.


    The `servers`, `security`, `paths`, `components/parameters` sections are for
    the

    Lance REST Namespace implementation, which defines a complete REST server
    that can work with Lance datasets.

    See https://lance.org/format/namespace/rest for more details.

            already exists.

            Case insensitive, supports both PascalCase and snake_case. Valid
            values are:
              * Create: the operation fails with 409.
              * ExistOk: the operation succeeds and the existing namespace is kept.
              * Overwrite: the existing namespace is dropped and a new empty namespace with this name is created.

    Context:
      type: object
      description: >
        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"}`.

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

            If namespace properties are supported, but none are set, it should
            return an empty object.
