    # When processing large numbers of records, it's often a good idea to do so in batches to prevent memory ballooning.
    module ClassMethods
      # Yields each record that was found by the find +options+. The find is performed by find_in_batches
      # with a batch size of 1000 (or as specified by the +batch_size+ option).
      #
      # Example:
      #
      #   Person.find_each(:conditions => "age > 21") do |person|
      #     person.party_all_night!
      #   end
      #
      # Note: This method is only intended to use for batch processing of large amounts of records that wouldn't fit in
      # memory all at once. If you just need to loop over less than 1000 records, it's probably better just to use the
      # regular find methods.
      def find_each(options = {})
        find_in_batches(options) do |records|
          records.each { |record| yield record }
        end

        self
      end

      # Yields each batch of records that was found by the find +options+ as an array. The size of each batch is
      # set by the +batch_size+ option; the default is 1000.
      #
      # You can control the starting point for the batch processing by supplying the +start+ option. This is especially
      # useful if you want multiple workers dealing with the same processing queue. You can make worker 1 handle all the
      # records between id 0 and 10,000 and worker 2 handle from 10,000 and beyond (by setting the +start+ option on that
      # worker).
      #
      # It's not possible to set the order. That is automatically set to ascending on the primary key ("id ASC") 
      # to make the batch ordering work. This also mean that this method only works with integer-based primary keys.
      # You can't set the limit either, that's used to control the the batch sizes.
      #
      # Example:
      #
      #   Person.find_in_batches(:conditions => "age > 21") do |group|
      #     sleep(50) # Make sure it doesn't get too crowded in there!
      #     group.each { |person| person.party_all_night! }
      #   end
