+ *     of columns. Overriding field-type indexes should be done
+ *     carefully, for it might seriously affect the site's performance.

+ * @defgroup field_purge Field API bulk data deletion
+ * @{
+ * Clean 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 instances in a single
+ * operation.
+ *
+ * Deleting field data items for an entity with field_attach_delete() involves
+ * three separate operations:
+ * - Invoking the Field Type API hook_field_delete() for each field on the
+ * entity. The hook for each field type receives the entity and the specific
+ * field being deleted. A file field module might use this hook to delete
+ * uploaded files from the filesystem.
+ * - Invoking the Field Storage API hook_field_storage_delete() to remove
+ * data from the primary field storage. The hook implementation receives the
+ * entity being deleted and deletes data for all of the entity's bundle's
+ * fields.
+ * - Invoking the global Field Attach API hook_field_attach_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.
+ *
+ * These hooks are invoked immediately when field_attach_delete() is
+ * called. Similar operations are performed for field_attach_delete_revision().
+ *
+ * When a field, bundle, or field instance is deleted, it is not practical to
+ * invoke these hooks immediately on every affected entity in a single page
+ * request; there could be thousands or millions of them. Instead, the
+ * appropriate field data items, instances, and/or fields 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 and instance records.
+ *
+ * Purging field data is made somewhat tricky by the fact that, while
+ * field_attach_delete() has a complete entity to pass to the various deletion
+ * hooks, 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 hooks. 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 "pseudo-entities" during purge
+ * operations. A pseudo-entity contains 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 instance is
+ * currently being purged. For example, suppose that the node type 'story' used
+ * to contain a field called 'subtitle' but the field was deleted. If node 37
+ * was a story with a subtitle, the pseudo-entity passed to the purge hooks
+ * would look something like this:
+ *
+ * @code
+ *   $entity = stdClass Object(
+ *     [nid] => 37,
+ *     [vid] => 37,
+ *     [type] => 'story',
+ *     [subtitle] => array(
+ *       [0] => array(
+ *         'value' => 'subtitle text',
+ *       ),
+ *     ),
+ *   );
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * See @link field Field API @endlink for information about the other parts of
+ * the Field API.
