## Summary by CodeRabbit
- **New Features**
- Added the ability to prewarm (load into memory) table indexes via new
methods in Python, Node.js, and Rust APIs, potentially reducing
cold-start query latency.
- **Bug Fixes**
- Ensured prewarming an index does not interfere with subsequent search
operations.
- **Tests**
- Introduced new test cases to verify full-text search index creation,
prewarming, and search functionalities in both Python and Node.js.
- **Chores**
- Updated dependencies for improved compatibility and performance.

We recently allowed this for lance but there was a check in lancedb as
well that was preventing it

## Summary by CodeRabbit
- **New Features**
- Added support for indexing fixed-size binary data using B-tree
structures for efficient data storage and retrieval.
- **Tests**
- Implemented automated tests to ensure the new binary indexing works
correctly and meets the expected configuration.

- adds `loss` into the index stats for vector index
- now `optimize` can retrain the vector index

binary vectors and hamming distance can work on only IVF_FLAT, so
introduce them all in this PR.

* Replaces Python implementation of Remote SDK with Rust one.
* Drops dependency on `attrs` and `cachetools`. Makes `requests` an
optional dependency used only for embeddings feature.
* Adds dependency on `nest-asyncio`. This was required to get hybrid
search working.
* Deprecate `request_thread_pool` parameter. We now use the tokio
threadpool.
* Stop caching the `schema` on a remote table. Schema is mutable and
there's no mechanism in place to invalidate the cache.
* Removed the client-side resolution of the vector column. We should
already be resolving this server-side.
BREAKING CHANGE: the return value of `index_stats` method has changed
and all `index_stats` APIs now take index name instead of UUID. Also
several deprecated index statistics methods were removed.
* Removes deprecated methods for individual index statistics
* Aligns public `IndexStatistics` struct with API response from LanceDB
Cloud.
* Implements `index_stats` for remote Rust SDK and Python async API.
