## What Rewrite the top of Table Design > Indexes > Index Overview to be default-first: - **Lead with what every table already has**: an automatic prefix index on the sort key and a ZoneMap index on every column. - **Add a decision table** mapping query pattern → recommended index → "when needed" (Always / Often / Sometimes / Rarely), so a reader can tell which indexes are foundational versus situational. - **Rename** "Choosing an Index by Query Scenario" to "How Each Index Works", since selection now happens in the table up front and that section is the deeper explanation. ## Why The page previously opened with a prose "Quick Selection Guide" and then four scenario explanations, without stating that two useful indexes already exist by default. A reader could not quickly tell whether they need to add anything. Leading with "you already have prefix + ZoneMap; add a manual index only when a pattern is not covered" matches how an experienced user actually decides. ## Scope - English only. - Applies to both current docs (`docs/`) and `versioned_docs/version-4.x`. - No new files, no sidebar changes; the page id is unchanged. - The in-page anchor reference in "Index Design Principles" was updated to point at the new "Start Here" section. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
