Does this mean the catalog creates its own indexes "based on your
schema", or do you do that by hand?  If the former, does the
catalog adjust its fields if you change the schema?

Doing it by hand gives you more control over what gets cataloged
of course, but it also gives tight coupling between your
catalog and your metadata schema.

Cool! Is that sci-fi or the current state of things?
