/**
 * @defgroup field_purge Field API bulk data deletion
 * @{
 * Cleans up after Field API bulk deletion operations.
 *
 * Field API provides functions for deleting data attached to individual
 * entities as well as deleting entire fields or field storages in a single
 * operation.
 *
 * When a single entity is deleted, the Entity storage performs the
 * following operations:
 * - Invoking the method \Drupal\Core\Field\FieldItemListInterface::delete() for
 *   each field on the entity. A file field type might use this method to delete
 *   uploaded files from the filesystem.
 * - Removing the data from storage.
 * - Invoking the global hook_entity_delete() for all modules that implement it.
 *   Each hook implementation receives the entity being deleted and can operate
 *   on whichever subset of the entity's bundle's fields it chooses to.
 *
 * Similar operations are performed on deletion of a single entity revision.
 *
 * When a bundle, field or field storage is deleted, it is not practical to
 * perform those operations immediately on every affected entity in a single
 * page request; there could be thousands or millions of them. Instead, the
 * appropriate field data items, fields, and/or field storages are marked as
 * deleted so that subsequent load or query operations will not return them.
 * Later, a separate process cleans up, or "purges", the marked-as-deleted data
 * by going through the three-step process described above and, finally,
 * removing deleted field storage and field records.
 *
 * Purging field data is made somewhat tricky by the fact that, while
 * $entity->delete() has a complete entity to pass to the various deletion
 * steps, the Field API purge process only has the field data it has previously
 * stored. It cannot reconstruct complete original entities to pass to the
 * deletion operations. It is even possible that the original entity to which
 * some Field API data was attached has been itself deleted before the field
 * purge operation takes place.
 *
 * Field API resolves this problem by using stub entities during purge
 * operations, containing only the information from the original entity that
 * Field API knows about: entity type, ID, revision ID, and bundle. It also
 * contains the field data for whichever field is currently being purged.
 *
 * See @link field Field API @endlink for information about the other parts of
 * the Field API.

/**
 * Purges a batch of deleted Field API data, field storages, or fields.

 * is defined as an argument to the function, and once each batch is finished,
 * it continues with the next batch until all have completed. If a deleted field
 * with no remaining data records is found, the field itself will
 * be purged. If a deleted field storage with no remaining fields is found, the
 * field storage itself will be purged.
 *
