/**
 * Base class for data source controllers for external data sources.
 *
 * This data source controller is a base implementation for item types that
 * represent external data, not directly accessible in Drupal. You can use this
 * controller as a base class when you don't want to index items of the type via
 * Drupal, but only want the search capabilities of the Search API. In addition
 * you most probably also have to create a fitting service class for executing
 * the actual searches.
 *
 * To use most of the functionality of the Search API and related modules, you
 * will only have to specify some property information in getPropertyInfo(). If
 * you have a custom service class which already returns the extracted fields
 * with the search results, you will only have to provide a label and a type for
 * each field.
