/**
* @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.
