+LanceDB is an open-source project and we welcome contributions from the community.
+This document outlines the process for contributing to LanceDB.
+
+## Reporting Issues
+
+If you encounter a bug or have a feature request, please open an issue on the
+[GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb).
+
+## Picking an issue
+
+We track issues on the GitHub issue tracker. If you are looking for something to
+work on, check the [good first issue](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/contribute) label. These issues are typically the best described and have the smallest scope.
+
+If there's an issue you are interested in working on, please leave a comment on the issue. This will help us avoid duplicate work. Additionally, if you have questions about the issue, please ask them in the issue comments. We are happy to provide guidance on how to approach the issue.
+
+## Configuring Git
+
+First, fork the repository on GitHub, then clone your fork:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/<username>/lancedb.git
+cd lancedb
+```
+
+Then add the main repository as a remote:
+
+```bash
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb.git
+git fetch upstream
+```
+
+## Setting up your development environment
+
+We have development environments for Python, Typescript, and Java. Each environment has its own setup instructions.
+
+* [Python](python/CONTRIBUTING.md)
+* [Typescript](nodejs/CONTRIBUTING.md)

+
+## Best practices for pull requests
+
+For the best chance of having your pull request accepted, please follow these guidelines:
+
+1. Unit test all bug fixes and new features. Your code will not be merged if it
+   doesn't have tests.
+1. If you change the public API, update the documentation in the `docs` directory.
+1. Aim to minimize the number of changes in each pull request. Keep to solving
+   one problem at a time, when possible.
+1. Before marking a pull request ready-for-review, do a self review of your code.
+   Is it clear why you are making the changes? Are the changes easy to understand?
+1. Use [conventional commit messages](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/) as pull request titles. Examples:
+    * New feature: `feat: adding foo API`
+    * Bug fix: `fix: issue with foo API`
+    * Documentation change: `docs: adding foo API documentation`
+1. If your pull request is a work in progress, leave the pull request as a draft.
+   We will assume the pull request is ready for review when it is opened.
+1. When writing tests, test the error cases. Make sure they have understandable
+   error messages.
+

 ## Building the docs
 
 ### Setup
-1. Install LanceDB. From LanceDB repo root: `pip install -e python`
-2. Install dependencies. From LanceDB repo root: `pip install -r docs/requirements.txt`
-3. Make sure you have node and npm setup
-4. Make sure protobuf and libssl are installed
+1. Install LanceDB Python. See setup in [Python contributing guide](../python/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+   Run `make develop` to install the Python package.
+2. Install documentation dependencies. From LanceDB repo root: `pip install -r docs/requirements.txt`
 
-### Building node module and create markdown files
+### Preview the docs
 
-See [Javascript docs README](./src/javascript/README.md)
-
-### Build docs
-From LanceDB repo root:
-
-Run: `PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml`
-
-If successful, you should see a `docs/site` directory that you can verify locally.
-
-### Run local server
-
-You can run a local server to test the docs prior to deployment by navigating to the `docs` directory and running the following command:
-
-```bash
+```shell
 cd docs
 mkdocs serve
 ```
 
-### Run doctest for typescript example
+If you want to just generate the HTML files:
 
-```bash
-cd lancedb/docs
-npm i
-npm run build
-npm run all
+```shell
+PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml
+```
+
+If successful, you should see a `docs/site` directory that you can verify locally.
+
+## Adding examples
+
+To make sure examples are correct, we put examples in test files so they can be
+run as part of our test suites.
+
+You can see the tests are at:
+
+* Python: `python/python/tests/docs`
+* Typescript: `nodejs/examples/`
+
+### Checking python examples
+
+```shell
+cd python
+pytest -vv python/tests/docs
+```
+
+### Checking typescript examples
+
+The `@lancedb/lancedb` package must be built before running the tests:
+
+```shell
+pushd nodejs
+npm ci
+npm run build
+popd
+```
+
+Then you can run the examples by going to the `nodejs/examples` directory and
+running the tests like a normal npm package:
+
+```shell
+pushd nodejs/examples
+npm ci
+npm test
+popd
+```
+
+## API documentation
+
+### Python
+
+The Python API documentation is organized based on the file `docs/src/python/python.md`.
+We manually add entries there so we can control the organization of the reference page.
+**However, this means any new types must be manually added to the file.** No additional
+steps are needed to generate the API documentation.
+
+### Typescript
+
+The typescript API documentation is generated from the typescript source code using [typedoc](https://typedoc.org/).
+
+When new APIs are added, you must manually re-run the typedoc command to update the API documentation.
+The new files should be checked into the repository.
+
+```shell
+pushd nodejs
+npm run docs
+popd
 ```

+### How to choose `m` and `ef_construction` for `IVF_HNSW_*` index?
+
+`m` determines the number of connections a new node establishes with its closest neighbors upon entering the graph. Typically, `m` falls within the range of 5 to 48. Lower `m` values are suitable for low-dimensional data or scenarios where recall is less critical. Conversely, higher `m` values are beneficial for high-dimensional data or when high recall is required. In essence, a larger `m` results in a denser graph with increased connectivity, but at the expense of higher memory consumption.
+
+`ef_construction` balances build speed and accuracy. Higher values increase accuracy but slow down the build process. A typical range is 150 to 300. For good search results, a minimum value of 100 is recommended. In most cases, setting this value above 500 offers no additional benefit. Ensure that `ef_construction` is always set to a value equal to or greater than `ef` in the search phase

+This section provides answers to the most common questions asked about LanceDB Cloud. By following these guidelines, you can ensure a smooth, performant experience with LanceDB Cloud.
+
+### Should I reuse the database connection?
+Yes! It is recommended to establish a single database connection and maintain it throughout your interaction with the tables within. 
+
+LanceDB uses HTTP connections to communicate with the servers. By re-using the Connection object, you avoid the overhead of repeatedly establishing HTTP connections, significantly improving efficiency.
+
+### Should I re-use the `Table` object?
+`table = db.open_table()` should be called once and used for all subsequent table operations. If there are changes to the opened table, `table` always reflect the **latest version** of the data. 
+
+### What should I do if I need to search for rows by `id`?
+LanceDB Cloud currently does not support an ID or primary key column. You are recommended to add a 
+user-defined ID column. To significantly improve the query performance with SQL causes, a scalar BITMAP/BTREE index should be created on this column. 
+
+### What are the vector indexing types supported by LanceDB Cloud?
+We support `IVF_PQ` and `IVF_HNSW_SQ` as the `index_type` which is passed to `create_index`. LanceDB Cloud tunes the indexing parameters automatically to achieve the best tradeoff between query latency and query quality.
+
+### When I add new rows to a table, do I need to manually update the index?
+No! LanceDB Cloud triggers an asynchronous background job to index the new vectors.
+
+Even though indexing is asynchronous, your vectors will still be immediately searchable. LanceDB uses brute-force search to search over unindexed rows. This makes you new data is immediately available, but does increase latency temporarily. To disable the brute-force part of search, set the `fast_search` flag in your query to `true`.
+
+### Do I need to reindex the whole dataset if only a small portion of the data is deleted or updated?
+No! Similar to adding data to the table, LanceDB Cloud triggers an asynchronous background job to update the existing indices. Therefore, no action is needed from users and there is absolutely no 
+downtime expected.
+
+### How do I know whether an index has been created?
+While index creation in LanceDB Cloud is generally fast, querying immediately after a `create_index` call may result in errors. It's recommended to use `list_indices` to verify index creation before querying.
+
+### Why is my query latency higher than expected?
+Multiple factors can impact query latency. To reduce query latency, consider the following:
+- Send pre-warm queries: send a few queries to warm up the cache before an actual user query.
+- Check network latency: LanceDB Cloud is hosted in AWS `us-east-1` region. It is recommended to run queries from an EC2 instance that is in the same region.
+- Create scalar indices: If you are filtering on metadata, it is recommended to create scalar indices on those columns. This will speedup searches with metadata filtering. See [here](../guides/scalar_index.md) for more details on creating a scalar index.

 ## Usage
 
+There are three key parameters to set when constructing an HNSW index:

+* `metric`: Use an `L2` euclidean distance metric. We also support `dot` and `cosine` distance.
+* `m`: The number of neighbors to select for each vector in the HNSW graph.

 This will allow you to search for phrases, but it will also significantly increase the index size and indexing time.
+
+
+## Incremental indexing
+
+LanceDB supports incremental indexing, which means you can add new records to the table without reindexing the entire table.
+
+This can make the query more efficient, especially when the table is large and the new records are relatively small.

-# Building Scalar Index
+# Building a Scalar Index
 
-Similar to many SQL databases, LanceDB supports several types of Scalar indices to accelerate search
+Scalar indices organize data by scalar attributes (e.g. numbers, categorical values), enabling fast filtering of vector data. In vector databases, scalar indices accelerate the retrieval of scalar data associated with vectors, thus enhancing the query performance when searching for vectors that meet certain scalar criteria. 
+
+Similar to many SQL databases, LanceDB supports several types of scalar indices to accelerate search
 over scalar columns.
 
-- `BTREE`: The most common type is BTREE. This index is inspired by the btree data structure
-  although only the first few layers of the btree are cached in memory.
-  It will perform well on columns with a large number of unique values and few rows per value.
-- `BITMAP`: this index stores a bitmap for each unique value in the column.
-  This index is useful for columns with a finite number of unique values and many rows per value.
-  For example, columns that represent "categories", "labels", or "tags"
-- `LABEL_LIST`: a special index that is used to index list columns whose values have a finite set of possibilities.
+- `BTREE`: The most common type is BTREE. The index stores a copy of the
+  column in sorted order. This sorted copy allows a binary search to be used to
+  satisfy queries.
+- `BITMAP`: this index stores a bitmap for each unique value in the column. It 
+  uses a series of bits to indicate whether a value is present in a row of a table
+- `LABEL_LIST`: a special index that can be used on `List<T>` columns to
+  support queries with `array_contains_all` and `array_contains_any`
+  using an underlying bitmap index.
   For example, a column that contains lists of tags (e.g. `["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]`) can be indexed with a `LABEL_LIST` index.
 
+!!! tips "How to choose the right scalar index type"
+
+    `BTREE`: This index is good for scalar columns with mostly distinct values and does best when the query is highly selective.
+    
+    `BITMAP`: This index works best for low-cardinality numeric or string columns, where the number of unique values is small (i.e., less than a few thousands).
+    
+    `LABEL_LIST`: This index should be used for columns containing list-type data.

     ### Add an Iterator
 
     You can also add a large dataset batch in one go using Iterator of any supported data types.
 
-    ```python
-    def make_batches():
-        for i in range(5):
-            yield [
-                    {"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "peach", "price": 6.0},
-                    {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "pear", "price": 5.0}

     ### Add a PyArrow table
 
     If you have data coming in as a PyArrow table, you can add it directly to the LanceDB table.
 
-    ```python
-    pa_table = pa.Table.from_arrays(
-            [
-                pa.array([[9.1, 6.7], [9.9, 31.2]],

-                pa.array(["mango", "orange"]),
-                pa.array([7.0, 4.0]),

     ### Add a Pydantic Model
 
     Assuming that a table has been created with the correct schema as shown [above](#creating-empty-table), you can add data items that are valid Pydantic models to the table.
 
-    ```python
-    pydantic_model_items = [
-        Item(vector=[8.1, 4.7], item="pineapple", price=10.0),
-        Item(vector=[6.9, 9.3], item="avocado", price=9.0)
-    ]
-
-    tbl.add(pydantic_model_items)
-    ```
-
-    ??? "Ingesting Pydantic models with LanceDB embedding API"
-        When using LanceDB's embedding API, you can add Pydantic models directly to the table. LanceDB will automatically convert the `vector` field to a vector before adding it to the table. You need to specify the default value of `vector` feild as None to allow LanceDB to automatically vectorize the data.

+## Changing schemas
+
+While tables must have a schema specified when they are created, you can
+change the schema over time. There's three methods to alter the schema of
+a table:
+
+* `add_columns`: Add new columns to the table
+* `alter_columns`: Alter the name, nullability, or data type of a column
+* `drop_columns`: Drop columns from the table
+
+### Adding new columns
+
+You can add new columns to the table with the `add_columns` method. New columns
+are filled with values based on a SQL expression. For example, you can add a new
+column `y` to the table, fill it with the value of `x * 2` and set the expected 
+data type for it.

+
+If you want to fill it with null, you can use `cast(NULL as <data_type>)` as
+the SQL expression to fill the column with nulls, while controlling the data
+type of the column. Available data types are base on the
+[DataFusion data types](https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/sql/data_types.html).
+You can use any of the SQL types, such as `BIGINT`:

+
+### Altering existing columns
+
+You can alter the name, nullability, or data type of a column with the `alter_columns`
+method.
+
+Changing the name or nullability of a column just updates the metadata. Because
+of this, it's a fast operation. Changing the data type of a column requires
+rewriting the column, which can be a heavy operation.

 # Rust-backed Client Migration Guide
 
-In an effort to ensure all clients have the same set of capabilities we have begun migrating the
-python and node clients onto a common Rust base library. In python, this new client is part of
-the same lancedb package, exposed as an asynchronous client. Once the asynchronous client has
-reached full functionality we will begin migrating the synchronous library to be a thin wrapper
-around the asynchronous client.
+In an effort to ensure all clients have the same set of capabilities we have
+migrated the Python and Node clients onto a common Rust base library. In Python,
+both the synchronous and asynchronous clients are based on this implementation.
+In Node, the new client is available as `@lancedb/lancedb`, which replaces
+the existing `vectordb` package.
 
-This guide describes the differences between the two APIs and will hopefully assist users
+This guide describes the differences between the two Node APIs and will hopefully assist users
 that would like to migrate to the new API.
 
-## Python
-### Closeable Connections
-
-The Connection now has a `close` method. You can call this when
-you are done with the connection to eagerly free resources. Currently
-this is limited to freeing/closing the HTTP connection for remote
-connections. In the future we may add caching or other resources to
-native connections so this is probably a good practice even if you
-aren't using remote connections.
-
-In addition, the connection can be used as a context manager which may
-be a more convenient way to ensure the connection is closed.
-
-```python
-import lancedb
-
-async def my_async_fn():
-    with await lancedb.connect_async("my_uri") as db:
-        print(await db.table_names())
-```
-
-It is not mandatory to call the `close` method. If you do not call it
-then the connection will be closed when the object is garbage collected.
-
-### Closeable Table
-
-The Table now also has a `close` method, similar to the connection. This
-can be used to eagerly free the cache used by a Table object. Similar to
-the connection, it can be used as a context manager and it is not mandatory
-to call the `close` method.
-
-#### Changes to Table APIs
-
-- Previously `Table.schema` was a property. Now it is an async method.
-- The method `Table.__len__` was removed and `len(table)` will no longer
-  work. Use `Table.count_rows` instead.
-
-#### Creating Indices
-
-The `Table.create_index` method is now used for creating both vector indices
-and scalar indices. It currently requires a column name to be specified (the
-column to index). Vector index defaults are now smarter and scale better with
-the size of the data.
-
-To specify index configuration details you will need to specify which kind of
-index you are using.
-
-#### Querying
-
-The `Table.search` method has been renamed to `AsyncTable.vector_search` for
-clarity.
-
-### Features not yet supported
-
-The following features are not yet supported by the asynchronous API. However,
-we plan to support them soon.
-
-- You cannot specify an embedding function when creating or opening a table.
-  You must calculate embeddings yourself if using the asynchronous API
-- The merge insert operation is not supported in the asynchronous API
-- Cleanup / compact / optimize indices are not supported in the asynchronous API
-- add / alter columns is not supported in the asynchronous API
-- The asynchronous API does not yet support any full text search or reranking
-  search
-- Remote connections to LanceDb Cloud are not yet supported.
-- The method Table.head is not yet supported.
