/**
 * Define new types of items that can be searched.
 *
 * This hook allows modules to define their own item types, for which indexes
 * can then be created. (Note that the Search API natively provides support for
 * all entity types that specify property information, so they should not be
 * added here. You should therefore also not use an existing entity type as the
 * identifier of a new item type.)
 *
 * The main part of defining a new item type is implementing its data source
 * controller class, which is responsible for loading items, providing metadata
 * and tracking existing items. The module defining a certain item type is also
 * responsible for observing creations, updates and deletions of items of that
 * type and notifying the Search API of them by calling
 * search_api_track_item_insert(), search_api_track_item_change() and
 * search_api_track_item_delete(), as appropriate.
 * The only other restriction for item types is that they have to have a single
 * item ID field, with a scalar value. This is, e.g., used to track indexed
 * items.
 *
 * Note, however, that you can also define item types where some of these
 * conditions are not met, as long as you are aware that some functionality of
 * the Search API and related modules might then not be available for that type.
 *
 * @return array
 *   An associative array keyed by item type identifier, and containing type
 *   information arrays with at least the following keys:
 *   - name: A human-readable name for the type.
 *   - datasource controller: A class implementing the
 *     SearchApiDataSourceControllerInterface interface which will be used as
 *     the data source controller for this type.
 *   - entity_type: (optional) If the type represents entities, the entity type.
 *     This is used by SearchApiAbstractDataSourceController for determining the
 *     entity type of items. Other datasource controllers might ignore this.
 *   Other, datasource-specific settings might also be placed here. These should
 *   be specified with the data source controller in question.
