Unable to Download or Delete Trace Entries via Python Web and SDK

I believe this project is an improvement over Langfuse, although some features may still be incomplete.

Describe the bug

I am experiencing an issue with Laminar where trace entries cannot be downloaded or deleted using both the Python web interface and the Python SDK.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Attempt to retrieve traces using client.get_dataset() or equivalent methods in the Python SDK.
2. Attempt to delete trace entries via SDK or web interface.
3. Observe that the operations fail, or only partial results are returned.

Expected behavior

• The SDK and web interface should allow downloading all trace entries without timeout or missing data.
• Deleting trace entries should work as intended, including batch deletion if possible.

Environment

• Laminar ：self-hosted latest

Additional context

This issue significantly impacts the ability to manage and evaluate experiments efficiently.

Hey @dadastory thanks for opening this issue. Could you please elaborate more on your use case? In particular, why are you looking to delete and download traces.

We are currently reworking the documentation, but:

• Downloading traces and spans is available via our SQL query API / SDK. In python, you could do client.sql.query(sql="SELECT * FROM traces") or spans or dataset_datapoints. Further reference: https://docs.laminar.sh/platform/sql-editor
• Deleting traces is not allowed by design

However, we are more than happy to amend the above, as we have had similar requests for trace and span data deletion in the past.
