   # Possible output: TypeError
 
 
+Execute DataFrame operations using NativeQueryCompiler
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+By default, Modin distributes data across partitions and performs operations
+using the ``PandasQueryCompiler``. However, for certain scenarios such as handling small or empty DataFrames,
+distributing them may introduce unnecessary overhead. In such cases, it's more efficient to default
+to pandas at the query compiler layer. This can be achieved by setting the ``cfg.NativeDataframeMode``
+:doc:`configuration variable: </flow/modin/config>` to ``Pandas``. When set to ``Pandas``, all operations in Modin default to pandas, and the DataFrames are not distributed,
+avoiding additional overhead. This configuration can be toggled on or off depending on whether
+DataFrame distribution is required.
+
+DataFrames created while the ``NativeDataframeMode`` is active will continue to use the ``NativeQueryCompiler``
+even after the config is disabled. Modin supports interoperability between distributed Modin DataFrames and
+those using the ``NativeQueryCompiler``.
