- #974 discusses how we could add multi-dimensional indexing with broadcasting. This would subsume the need for separate methods like `sel_points` and allow also handle indexing grids with grids.
- #947 adds first class support for MultiIndex coordinates into xarray. This is good model for how a KDTree could work.
So I'm now thinking an API more like this:
```
>>> ds = ds.set_kdtree(spatial_index=['latitude', 'longitude'])
>>> ds
Dimensions: (x: 4, y: 5)
Coordinates:
* x (x) int64 0 1 2 3
* y (y) int64 0 1 2 3 4
* spatial_index (x, y) KDTree
- latitude (x, y) float64 0.49 0.5682 -0.3541 -0.9305 -0.9669 0.01558 ...
- longitude (x, y) float64 0.3758 1.429 -1.698 -1.344 0.5237 0.6152 ...
Data variables:
temperature (x, y) float64 0.5735 -0.4871 0.4708 0.4907 -0.3318 0.2883 ...
>>> result = ds.sel(latitude=other.latitude, longitude=other.longitude,
... method='nearest')
```
For building a tree with lat/lon remapped to spherical coordinates, we should write a method that converts lat and lon arrays into a tuple of x, y, z arrays (e.g., using `apply_ufunc` from #964). Then this looks like `ds.set_kdtree(spatial_index=latlon_to_xyy(ds.latitude, ds.longitude))`. Conceivably, we could add some sugar for this, e.g., `ds.geo.set_kdtree(spatial_index=['latitude', 'longitude'])`.

You certainly could try to put this into `isel_points`, and if you can do it in a clean fashion I an open to accepting it, but keep in mind that the method is going to go away when we finally get around to implementing #974. Work on #974 would probably be more productive, ultimately.

I think it has most of the necessary indexing machinery and you can put it in an xray.Dataset like an array. You could easily imagine hooking in a `transform` argument to `KDTreeIndex` to handle projection. But of course it hasn't been hooked up to any API yet.

For now, I actually think selecting individual points and then concatenating the resulting arrays together would be a reasonable start. Yes, it's kind of slow, but once you have a first draft put together that way with the right API we can optimize later.

The main complexity is that you'll want to write a version that also works with dask arrays. Let me know if that part is confusing, I can certainly help with that.
As for `sel_points`, we only need a kdtree if the underlying coordinates are 2D. If `latitude` and `longitude` (for example) are 1d, we can just use the existing machinery for remapping label based indexers to integers. This should be pretty straightforward, following the example of `isel`:

For n-dimensional indexing, kdtree seems sensible, especially if we can cache it on the coordinates. We probably want an explicit API for methods that add new coordinates -- something like `ds.set_kdtree(['latitude', 'longitude'])`.

This is also a good idea, though I would probably call the parameter `dim`, not `name`.
> One thing to keep in mind is that for many of us the ""nearest-neighbor"" part isn't really method='nearest', but instead more like, method='ingridcell' where the grid cell might be roughly square or might be something pretty different.
Indeed. As a start, we should be able to do nearest neighbor lookups with a tolerance soon -- I have a pandas PR that should add some of that basic functionality (https://github.com/pydata/pandas/pull/10411). In the long term, it would be useful to have some sort of representation of grid cells in the index itself, possibly something similar to `IntervalIndex` (https://github.com/pydata/pandas/pull/8707).

The challenge is that we want to go from an DataArray that looks like this:
```
In [4]: arr = xray.DataArray([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dims=['x', 'y'])
In [5]: arr
Out[5]:
array([[1, 2],
[3, 4]])
Coordinates:
* x (x) int64 0 1
* y (y) int64 0 1
```
To one that looks like that:
```
In [6]: xray.DataArray([1, 4], {'x': ('c', [0, 1]), 'y': ('c', [0, 1])}, dims='c')
Out[6]:
array([1, 4])
Coordinates:
y (c) int64 0 1
x (c) int64 0 1
* c (c) int64 0 1
```
Somehow, we need to figure out the name for the new dimension (`c` in this example).
My thought would be to have methods `sel_points` and `isel_points` that work similarly to `sel` and `isel`. This is straightforward if you already have xray 1D objects with a labeled dimension: `arr.sel_points(x=x, y=y)`, where `x` and `y` are along the `c` dimension.
If you don't already have 1D xray objects, I suppose we could also allow `arr.sel_points(x=('c', [0, 1]), y=('c', [0, 1]))` or `arr.sel_points('c', x=[0, 1], y=[0, 1])`.
