/**
 * Example of batch-driven update function.
 *
 * Because some update functions may require the batch API, the $sandbox
 * provides a place to store state. When $sandbox['#finished'] == TRUE,
 * calls to this update function are completed.
 *
 * The $sandbox param provides a way to store data during multiple invocations.
 * When the $sandbox['#finished'] == 1, execution is complete.
 *
 * This dummy 'update' function changes no state in the system. It simply
 * loads each node.
 *
 * To make this update function run again and again, execute the query
 * "update system set schema_version = 0 where name = 'batch_example';"
 * and then run /update.php.
 *
