    The description object representing the ArcGIS.Core.Data.FeatureClass that will hold the index.
    Example
    Adding indexes in pre-existing dataset
    public void AddingIndexes(SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder, FeatureClassDefinition featureClassDefinition)
    {
      // Field names to add in the attribute index
      string fieldName = featureClassDefinition.GetFields().First(f => f.AliasName.Contains("Name")).Name;
      string fieldAddress = featureClassDefinition.GetFields().First(f => f.AliasName.Contains("Address")).Name;
    
      // Creating an attribute index with index name 'Idx' and two participating fields' name
      AttributeIndexDescription attributeIndexDescription = new AttributeIndexDescription("Idx", new TableDescription(featureClassDefinition), new List<string> { fieldName, fieldAddress });
    
      // Enqueue DDL operation for an attribute index creation 
      schemaBuilder.Create(attributeIndexDescription);
    
      // Creating the spatial index 
      SpatialIndexDescription spatialIndexDescription = new SpatialIndexDescription(new FeatureClassDescription(featureClassDefinition));
    
      // Enqueue DDL operation for the spatial index creation
      schemaBuilder.Create(spatialIndexDescription);
    
      // Execute build indexes operation
      bool isBuildSuccess = schemaBuilder.Build();
    
      if (!isBuildSuccess)
      {
        IReadOnlyList<string> errors = schemaBuilder.ErrorMessages;
        // Iterate and handle errors 
      }
    }
    Removing spatial index
    public void RemoveSpatialIndex(SchemaBuilder schemaBuilder, FeatureClassDefinition featureClassDefinition)
    {
      // Create a spatial description  
      SpatialIndexDescription spatialIndexDescription = new SpatialIndexDescription(new FeatureClassDescription(featureClassDefinition));
    
      // Enqueue the DDL operation to remove index 
      schemaBuilder.Delete(spatialIndexDescription);
    
      // Execute the delete index operation
      bool isDeleteIndexSuccess = schemaBuilder.Build();
    }
