Forget about all metadata for an entity.

Parameters

int $entity_guid The GUID of the entity

ElggVolatileMetadataCache::filterMetadataHeavyEntities	(	array	$guids,
			$limit = `1024000`
	)

Filter out entities whose concatenated metadata values (INTs casted as string) exceed a threshold in characters.

This could be used to avoid overpopulating the cache if RAM usage becomes an issue.

Parameters

array	$guids	GUIDs of entities to examine
int	$limit	Limit in characters of all metadata (with ints casted to strings)

Returns: array
