Great to see this space moving! Any pointers on diff vs Kythe? Kythe has a mostly fixed schema, for one.

One of the pain points using Kythe is wiring up the indexer to the build system. Would Glean indexers be easier to wire up for the common cases?

Other is the index post-processing, which is not very scalable in the open source version (due to go-beam having rough Flunk support, for example).

Third, how does it link up references across compilation units? Is it heuristic, or relies on unique keys from indexers matching? Or across languages?
