Interface for entity queries.
Never instantiate classes implementing this interface directly. Always use the QueryFactory class.

* - nid
* - tags.value
* - tags this is the same as tags.value as .value is the default.
*
* For example, to find all entities containing both the Turkish 'merhaba'
* and the Polish 'siema' within a 'greetings' text field:
* @code

* ->execute();
* $entity_ids = $query->execute();

*
* @param $value
* The value for $field. In most cases, this is a scalar. For more complex
* options, 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).
