* 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.
