## Summary
- Transitions `LanceTable` and `RemoteTable` to use the unified
`create_index()` API matching `AsyncTable`
- Deprecates `create_scalar_index()` and `create_fts_index()` with
deprecation warnings
- Adds detection logic to distinguish legacy vs new API calls
- Adds `@overload` decorators for type checker compatibility
- Adds `accelerator` parameter to IVF config classes for GPU support
**New API:**
```python
table.create_index("vec", config=IvfPq(distance_type="l2"))
table.create_index("col", config=BTree())
table.create_index("text_col", config=FTS(with_position=True))
```
**Legacy API (deprecated):**
```python
table.create_index("l2", vector_column_name="vec") # emits DeprecationWarning
table.create_scalar_index("col", index_type="BTREE") # deprecated
table.create_fts_index("text_col") # deprecated
```
Fixes #2879

Preview Releases
Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.
pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb
