from_index(
index: Path ,
root: pathlib._local.Path | upath.core.UPath[Path, UPath] ,
snap = None,
)-> ‘PatchCatalog’
Catalog over an existing index, opened read-only.
Rows resolve against root, which may be remote. Nothing scans: an index scanned under another snap or max_shift raises rather than rescanning.
