+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.

+## 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.

+    ```
+    **API Reference:** [lancedb.Table.addColumns](../js/classes/Table.md/#addcolumns)
+
+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`:
+
+```sql
+cast(NULL as BIGINT)
+```

+Using Arrow data types and the `arrow_typeof` function is not yet supported.
+
+<!-- TODO: we could provide a better formula for filling with nulls:

+-->
+
+### 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 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.

+        This converts the query from a FTS Query to a Hybrid query. Results
+        from the vector search will be combined with results from the FTS query.
+
+        This method will attempt to convert the input to the query vector
+        expected by the embedding model.  If the input cannot be converted
+        then an error will be thrown.
+
+        By default, there is no embedding model, and the input should be
+        something that can be converted to a pyarrow array of floats.  This
+        includes lists, numpy arrays, and tuples.
+
+        If there is only one vector column (a column whose data type is a
+        fixed size list of floats) then the column does not need to be specified.
+        If there is more than one vector column you must use
+        [AsyncVectorQuery.column][lancedb.query.AsyncVectorQuery.column] to specify
+        which column you would like to compare with.
+
+        If no index has been created on the vector column then a vector query
+        will perform a distance comparison between the query vector and every
+        vector in the database and then sort the results.  This is sometimes
+        called a "flat search"
+
+        For small databases, with tens of thousands of vectors or less, this can
+        be reasonably fast.  In larger databases you should create a vector index
+        on the column.  If there is a vector index then an "approximate" nearest
+        neighbor search (frequently called an ANN search) will be performed.  This
+        search is much faster, but the results will be approximate.
+
+        The query can be further parameterized using the returned builder.  There
+        are various ANN search parameters that will let you fine tune your recall
+        accuracy vs search latency.
+
+        Hybrid searches always have a [limit][].  If `limit` has not been called then
+        a default `limit` of 10 will be used.
+
+        Typically, a single vector is passed in as the query. However, you can also
+        pass in multiple vectors.  This can be useful if you want to find the nearest
+        vectors to multiple query vectors. This is not expected to be faster than
+        making multiple queries concurrently; it is just a convenience method.
+        If multiple vectors are passed in then an additional column `query_index`
+        will be added to the results.  This column will contain the index of the
+        query vector that the result is nearest to.
