   * Add a condition to the query or a condition group.
   *
   * For example, to find all entities containing both the Turkish 'merhaba'
   * and the Polish 'siema' within a 'greetings' text field:
   * @code
   *   $entity_ids = \Drupal::entityQuery($entity_type)
   *     ->condition('greetings', 'merhaba', '=', 'tr');

   *     ->execute();
   *   $entity_ids = $query->execute();
   * @endcode
   *
   * @param $field
   *   Name of the field being queried. It must contain a field name,
   *   optionally followed by a column name. The column can be "entity" for
   *   reference fields and that can be followed similarly by a field name
   *   and so on. Some examples:
   *   - nid
   *   - tags.value
   *   - tags
   *   - uid.entity.name
   *   "tags" "is the same as "tags.value" as value is the default column.
   *   If two or more conditions have the same field names they apply to the
   *   same delta within that field.
   * @param $value
   *   The value for $field. In most cases, this is a scalar and it's treated as
   *   case-insensitive. For more complex operators, it is an array. The meaning
   *   of each element in the array is dependent on $operator.
   * @param $operator
   *   Possible values:
   *   - '=', '<>', '>', '>=', '<', '<=', 'STARTS_WITH', 'CONTAINS',
   *     'ENDS_WITH': These operators expect $value to be a literal of the
   *     same type as the column.
   *   - 'IN', 'NOT IN': These operators expect $value to be an array of
   *     literals of the same type as the column.
   *   - 'BETWEEN': This operator expects $value to be an array of two literals
   *     of the same type as the column.
   * @param $langcode
   *   Language code (optional). If omitted, any translation satisfies the
   *   condition. However, if two or more conditions omit the langcode within
   *   one condition group then they are presumed to apply to the same
   *   translation. If within one condition group one condition has a langcode
   *   and another does not they are not presumed to apply to the same
   *   translation.
