Baloo in KF5 is just a file indexer. It goes through your file and creates an
index optimized for searching. It also indexes tags, ratings and comments.
These tags, ratings and comments are obtained from the extended attributes of
the file via KFileMetaData::UserMetadata. This is a os independent wrapper on
top of xattr.

Digikam is currently only using KFileMetaData. It is not using Baloo.
Therefore, the dependency can be dropped.

You only need to use Baloo is you want to perform some kind of queries on the
index.
