8Edges are a generic way of storing a relationship between two objects (like a
9Task and its attached files).
10
11An edge is defined by a source PHID (the edge origin), a destination PHID
12(the edge destination) and an edge type (which describes the relationship,
13like "is subscribed to" or "has attached file").
14
15Every edge is directional, and stored alongside the source object. Some edges
16are configured to automatically write an inverse edge, effectively building
17a bidirectional relationship. The strength of storing relationships like this
18is that they work when databases are partitioned or sharded.
