    Immutable sequence used for indexing and alignment.

    The basic object storing axis labels for all pandas objects.

    .. versionchanged:: 2.0.0

       Index can hold all numpy numeric dtypes (except float16). Previously only
       int64/uint64/float64 dtypes were accepted.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : array-like (1-dimensional)
    dtype : NumPy dtype (default: object)
        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
    --------
    RangeIndex : Index implementing a monotonic integer range.
    CategoricalIndex : Index of :class:`Categorical` s.
    MultiIndex : A multi-level, or hierarchical Index.
    IntervalIndex : An Index of :class:`Interval` s.
    DatetimeIndex : Index of datetime64 data.
    TimedeltaIndex : Index of timedelta64 data.
    PeriodIndex : Index of Period data.

    Notes
    -----
    An Index instance can **only** contain hashable objects.
    An Index instance *can not* hold numpy float16 dtype.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> pd.Index([1, 2, 3])
    Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')

    >>> pd.Index(list('abc'))
    Index(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype='object')

    >>> pd.Index([1, 2, 3], dtype="uint8")
    Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='uint8')

        Compute indexer and mask for new index given the current index.

        The indexer should be then used as an input to ndarray.take to align the
        current data to the new index.

        Parameters
        ----------
        target : %(target_klass)s
        method : {None, 'pad'/'ffill', 'backfill'/'bfill', 'nearest'}, optional
            * default: exact matches only.
            * pad / ffill: find the PREVIOUS index value if no exact match.
            * backfill / bfill: use NEXT index value if no exact match
            * nearest: use the NEAREST index value if no exact match. Tied
              distances are broken by preferring the larger index value.
        limit : int, optional
            Maximum number of consecutive labels in ``target`` to match for
            inexact matches.
        tolerance : optional
            Maximum distance between original and new labels for inexact
            matches. The values of the index at the matching locations must
            satisfy the equation ``abs(index[indexer] - target) <= tolerance``.

            Tolerance may be a scalar value, which applies the same tolerance
            to all values, or list-like, which applies variable tolerance per
            element. List-like includes list, tuple, array, Series, and must be
            the same size as the index and its dtype must exactly match the
            index's type.

        Returns
        -------
        np.ndarray[np.intp]
            Integers from 0 to n - 1 indicating that the index at these
            positions matches the corresponding target values. Missing values
            in the target are marked by -1.
        %(raises_section)s
        Notes
        -----
        Returns -1 for unmatched values, for further explanation see the
        example below.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> index = pd.Index(['c', 'a', 'b'])
        >>> index.get_indexer(['a', 'b', 'x'])
        array([ 1,  2, -1])

        Notice that the return value is an array of locations in ``index``
        and ``x`` is marked by -1, as it is not in ``index``.
