  PetscSFSetGraphLayout - Set a `PetscSF` communication pattern using global indices and a `PetscLayout`

  Collective

  Input Parameters:
+ sf        - star forest
. layout    - `PetscLayout` defining the global space for roots, i.e. which roots are owned by each MPI process
. nleaves   - number of leaf vertices on the current process, each of these references a root on any MPI process
. ilocal    - locations of leaves in leafdata buffers, pass `NULL` for contiguous storage, that is the locations are in [0,`nleaves`)
. localmode - copy mode for `ilocal`
- gremote   - root vertices in global numbering corresponding to the leaves

  Level: intermediate

  Note:
  Global indices must lie in [0, N) where N is the global size of `layout`.
  Leaf indices in `ilocal` get sorted; this means the user-provided array gets sorted if localmode is `PETSC_OWN_POINTER`.

  Developer Notes:
  Local indices which are the identity permutation in the range [0,`nleaves`) are discarded as they
  encode contiguous storage. In such case, if localmode is `PETSC_OWN_POINTER`, the memory is deallocated as it is not
  needed

  PetscSFCreateFromLayouts - Creates a parallel star forest mapping between two `PetscLayout` objects

  Collective

  Input Parameters:
+ rmap - `PetscLayout` defining the global root space
- lmap - `PetscLayout` defining the global leaf space

  Output Parameter:
. sf - The parallel star forest

  Level: intermediate

  Notes:
  If the global length of `lmap` differs from the global length of `rmap` then the excess entries are ignored.

  The resulting `sf` used with `PetscSFBcastBegin()` and `PetscSFBcastEnd()` merely copies the array entries of `rootdata` to
  `leafdata`; moving them between MPI processes if needed. For example,
  if rmap is [0, 3, 5) and lmap is [0, 2, 6) and `rootdata` is (1, 2, 3) on MPI rank 0 and (4, 5) on MPI rank 1 then the
  `leafdata` would become (1, 2) on MPI rank 0 and (3, 4, 5, x) on MPI rank 1.

  PetscSFCreateByMatchingIndices - Create `PetscSF` by matching root and leaf indices

  Collective

  Input Parameters:
+ layout           - `PetscLayout` defining the global index space and the MPI rank that brokers each index
. numRootIndices   - size of `rootIndices`
. rootIndices      - array of global indices of which this process requests ownership
. rootLocalIndices - root local index permutation (`NULL` if no permutation)
. rootLocalOffset  - offset to be added to `rootLocalIndices`

. leafIndices      - array of global indices with which this process requires data associated
. leafLocalIndices - leaf local index permutation (`NULL` if no permutation)
- leafLocalOffset  - offset to be added to `leafLocalIndices`

  Output Parameters:
+ sfA - star forest representing the communication pattern from the layout space to the leaf space (`NULL` if not needed)
- sf  - star forest representing the communication pattern from the root space to the leaf space

  Level: advanced

  Example 1:

  leafLocalOffset  : 400          500          600

  [1] 500 <- (0,102)
  [2] 600 <- (0,101)
  [2] 601 <- (2,300)

  leafLocalOffset  : 400          500          600

.ve

  Notes:
  `layout` represents any partitioning of [0, N), where N is the total number of global indices, and its
  local size can be set to `PETSC_DECIDE`.

  If a global index x lies in the partition owned by process i, each process whose `rootIndices` contains x requests
  ownership of x and sends its own rank and the local index of x to process i.
  If multiple processes request ownership of x, the one with the highest rank is to own x.
  Process i then broadcasts the ownership information, so that each process whose `leafIndices` contains x knows the
  ownership information of x.
  The output `sf` is constructed by associating each leaf point to a root point in this way.

  Suppose there is point data ordered according to the global indices and partitioned according to the given layout.
  The optional output `sfA` can be used to push such data to leaf points.

  All indices in `rootIndices` and `leafIndices` must lie in the layout range. The union (over all processes) of `rootIndices`
  must cover that of `leafIndices`, but need not cover the entire layout.

  If (leafIndices, leafLocalIndices, leafLocalOffset) == (rootIndices, rootLocalIndices, rootLocalOffset), the output
  star forest is almost identity, so will only include non-trivial part of the map.

  Developer Notes:
  Current approach of a process of the highest rank gaining the ownership may cause load imbalance; consider using
  hash(rank, root_local_index) as the bid for the ownership determination.
