Walkthrough

Documentation files updated across the guides to rename references from "efficient-ingest" to "bulk-import" and update section headings for clarity and consistency. Link references in index files adjusted to point to renamed guides. No functional code or API changes.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Index and reference updates docs/howto/index.md, docs/integrate/pandas/index.md	Updated guide list links: changed references from "pandas-efficient-ingest" and "dask-efficient-ingest" to their "pandas-bulk-import" and "dask-bulk-import" equivalents
Documentation title and heading renames (efficient-ingest → bulk-import) docs/integrate/dask/usage.md, docs/integrate/pandas/efficient-ingest.md	Renamed top-level headings and page titles: dask-usage → dask-bulk-import; "Efficient data ingestion with Dask and CrateDB" → "Efficient bulk imports with Dask"; "Guide to efficient data ingestion to CrateDB with pandas" → "Efficient bulk imports with pandas"
Section heading restructuring docs/integrate/kafka/docker-python.md	Shortened and reformatted section headings for brevity: "Starting services" → "Start services", "Provisioning CrateDB and Kafka" → "Provision CrateDB and Kafka", "Loading data" → "Data loading", "Verifying the data" → "Explore data"; added period to one heading item

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~3 minutes

• All changes are documentation-only: heading renames, link reference updates, and minor punctuation adjustments
• No code logic, API changes, or functional modifications present
• Changes follow a consistent pattern across files (efficient-ingest → bulk-import naming convention)

Poem

🐰 Links renamed with care so neat,
From "ingest" to "bulk import" we greet,
Through pandas and dask they dance,
Headings trimmed in documentation's prance,
A naming-spree complete!

Docstring Coverage	⚠️ Warning	Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.	You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.

✅ Passed checks (2 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title Check	✅ Passed	The pull request title "Integrate: Improve guidance for data import / ingest / load" accurately reflects the primary objective of the changeset. The modifications consistently rename guides and headings related to data import workflows—changing "pandas-efficient-ingest" to "pandas-bulk-import", renaming "dask-usage" to "dask-bulk-import", and making heading names more concise. The title correctly identifies that this is fundamentally about improving how users discover and understand data import/ingest guidance through better naming, which directly corresponds to the actual changes made across multiple documentation files.
Description Check	✅ Passed	The pull request description is directly related to the changeset. It explicitly states "Better naming things for improved user guidance, accommodating Algolia search," which accurately describes the core purpose of renaming guides from "efficient-ingest" to "bulk-import" patterns and updating heading names for clarity and search optimization. The reference to GH-461 provides traceability, and while brief, the description conveys meaningful information about why these naming changes were made.
