+Renames an index in the database table for the model with ``model_name``.
+Exactly one of ``old_name`` and ``old_fields`` can be provided. ``old_fields``
+is an iterable of the strings, often corresponding to fields of
+:attr:`~django.db.models.Options.index_together`.
+
+On databases that don't support an index renaming statement (SQLite and MariaDB
+< 10.5.2), the operation will drop and recreate the index, which can be
+expensive.
