Evaluate re-implementing inherited Index methods in the Arkouda accessor #5194
Description
Some Index functionality is inherited automatically through pd.Index when using ArkoudaExtensionArray. The same or similar functionality also exists on ak.Index, and an Index accessor is already available.
This ticket is to evaluate whether selectively re-implementing certain inherited pandas Index methods in the accessor would be worthwhile, for example to:
Improve performance
Avoid unnecessary conversions or round-trips
Better leverage Arkouda-native operations
The goal is to identify cases where overriding pandas-inherited behavior provides a clear benefit, and leave the rest as-is.
