    pandas-on-Spark Index that corresponds to pandas Index logically. This might hold Spark Column

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : array-like (1-dimensional)
    dtype : dtype, default None
        If dtype is None, we find the dtype that best fits the data.
        If an actual dtype is provided, we coerce to that dtype if it's safe.
        Otherwise, an error will be raised.
    copy : bool
        Make a copy of input ndarray.
    name : object
        Name to be stored in the index.
    tupleize_cols : bool (default: True)
        When True, attempt to create a MultiIndex if possible.

    See Also
    --------
    MultiIndex : A multi-level, or hierarchical, Index.
    DatetimeIndex : Index of datetime64 data.

    Examples
    --------
