`IndexConfig` (returned by `Table::list_indices`) previously exposed only `name`, `index_type`, and `columns`. Lance's `describe_indices` provides richer per-index info cheaply (reads manifest metadata, often cached), so this surfaces it. Adds these `Option<T>` fields to `lancedb::index::IndexConfig`, populated in `NativeTable::list_indices` from the `IndexDescription`: - `index_uuid`: uuid of the first segment - `type_url`: protobuf type URL (`IndexDescription::type_url`) - `created_at`: minimum creation time across segments - `num_indexed_rows`: approximate rows indexed across segments - `num_unindexed_rows`: table row count minus `num_indexed_rows` - `size_bytes`: total size of index files across segments - `num_segments`: number of segments making up the index - `index_version`: on-disk index format version (first segment) - `index_details`: index-type-specific details as JSON This field set mirrors the lance-namespace `IndexContent` contract (lance-format/lance-namespace#348) so client and server agree on the same shape. Note these are populated **locally** via `describe_indices` — `NativeTable::list_indices` reads the dataset directly and does not depend on the namespace spec change. `RemoteTable` leaves the new fields `None` until a follow-up wires them through the server response (#3494). Bindings exposure will also be a follow up: #3495 Existing `list_indices` tests in `rust/lancedb/src/table.rs` are extended to assert the new fields.

The ultimate multimodal data platform for AI/ML applications.
LanceDB is designed for fast, scalable, and production-ready vector search. It is built on top of the Lance columnar format. You can store, index, and search over petabytes of multimodal data and vectors with ease. LanceDB is a central location where developers can build, train and analyze their AI workloads.
Demo: Multimodal Search by Keyword, Vector or with SQL
