+## Differences with hash documents
+
+Indexing for hash documents is very similar to JSON indexing but you
+need to specify some slightly different options.
+
+When you create the schema for a hash index, you don't need to
+add aliases for the fields, since you use the basic names to access
+the fields anyway. Also, you must use `IndexDataType.HASH` for the `On()`
+option of `FTCreateParams` when you create the index. The code below shows these
+changes with a new index called `hash-idx:users`, which is otherwise the same as
+the `idx:users` index used for JSON documents in the previous examples.
+
+{{< clients-example java_home_json make_hash_index >}}
+{{< /clients-example >}}
+
+Use [`hset()`]({{< relref "/commands/hset" >}}) to add the hash
+documents instead of [`jsonSet()`]({{< relref "/commands/json.set" >}}).
+
+{{< clients-example java_home_json add_hash_data >}}
+{{< /clients-example >}}
+
+The query commands work the same here for hash as they do for JSON (but
+the name of the hash index is different). The results are returned in 
+a `List` of `Document` objects, as with JSON:
+
+{{< clients-example java_home_json query1_hash >}}
+{{< /clients-example >}}
