// Benchmark for opening a missing table as sibling-table cardinality grows.
//
// The fixture uses real `.lance` directories and marker files. Fixture creation is
// outside the timed section. Defaults intentionally cover 1k, 10k, and 100k siblings
// with 10 warmups and 100 distinct missing-table opens per scale:
//
// ```text
// cargo run --profile release-no-lto -p lancedb --example bench_open_missing_table
// ```
//
// `BENCH_SIBLINGS`, `BENCH_WARMUPS`, and `BENCH_TRIALS` override those defaults.
// Reduced settings are useful only as a smoke test. Performance comparisons require
// the same machine, filesystem, fixture sizes, settings, lockfile, and alternating
// baseline/candidate execution order.
