/**
 * Defines an interface for managing entity definition updates.
 *
 * During the application lifetime, the definitions of various entity types and
 * their data components (e.g., fields for fieldable entity types) can change.
 * For example, updated code can be deployed. Some entity handlers may need to
 * perform complex or long-running logic in response to the change. For
 * example, a SQL-based storage handler may need to update the database schema.
 *
 * To support this,
 * \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityLastInstalledSchemaRepositoryInterface has methods
 * to retrieve the last installed definitions as well as the definitions
 * specified by the current codebase. It also has create/update/delete methods
 * to bring the former up to date with the latter.
 *
 * However, it is not the responsibility of entity last installed schema repository
 * to decide how to report the differences or when to apply each update. This
 * interface is for managing that.
 *
 * This interface also provides methods to retrieve instances of the definitions
 * to be updated ready to be manipulated. In fact when definitions change in
 * code the system needs to be notified about that and the definitions stored in
 * state need to be reconciled with the ones living in code. This typically
 * happens in Update API functions, which need to take the system from a known
 * state to another known state. Relying on the definitions living in code might
 * prevent this, as the system might transition directly to the last available
 * state, and thus skipping the intermediate steps. Manipulating the definitions
 * in state allows to avoid this and ensures that the various steps of the
 * update process are predictable and repeatable.
