+## Introduction
+Hudi employs index to find and update the location of incoming records during
write operations. To be specific, index assist in differentiating
+inserts vs updates. This blog talks about different indices and when to each
of them.
+
+Hudi dataset can be of two types in general, partitioned and non-partitioned.
So, most index has two implementations, one for partitioned dataset
+and another for non-partitioned called as global index.
+
+These are the types of index supported by Hudi as of now.
