 * Outlines how a module can use the Batch API.
 *
 * Batches allow heavy processing to be spread out over several page
 * requests, ensuring that the processing does not get interrupted
 * because of a PHP timeout, while allowing the user to receive feedback
 * on the progress of the ongoing operations. It also can reduce out of memory
 * situations.
 *
 * The @link batch_example.install .install file @endlink also shows how the
 * Batch API can be used to handle long-running hook_update_N() functions.
 *
 * Two harmless batches are defined:
 * - batch 1: Load the node with the lowest nid 100 times.
 * - batch 2: Load all nodes, 20 times and uses a progressive op, loading nodes
 *   by groups of 5.
