-        Generate content batches to efficiently iterate over all content.
-
-        Generates query sets that span the `content_qs` content of the repository
-        version. Each yielded query set evaluates to at most `batch_size` content records.
-        This is useful to limit the memory footprint when iterating over all content of
-        a repository version.
-
-        .. note::
-
-            * This generator is not safe against changes (i.e. add/remove content) during
-              the iteration!
-
-            * As the method uses slices internally, the queryset must be ordered to yield
-              stable results. By default, it is ordered by primary key.
-
-        Args:
-            content_qs (django.db.models.QuerySet) The queryset for Content that will be
-                restricted further to the content present in this repository version. If not given,
-                `Content.objects.all()` is used (to iterate over all content present in the
-                repository version). A plugin may want to use a specific subclass of
-                [pulpcore.plugin.models.Content][] or use e.g. `filter()` to select
-                a subset of the repository version's content.
-            order_by_params (tuple of str): The parameters for the `order_by` clause
-                for the content. The Default is `("pk",)`. This needs to
-                specify a stable order. For example, if you want to iterate by
-                decreasing creation time stamps use `("-pulp_created", "pk")` to
-                ensure that content records are still sorted by primary key even
-                if their creation timestamp happens to be equal.
-            batch_size (int): The maximum batch size.
-
-        Yields:
-            [django.db.models.QuerySet][]: A QuerySet representing a slice of the content.
-
-        Example:
-            The following code could be used to loop over all `FileContent` in
-            `repository_version`. It prefetches the related
-            [pulpcore.plugin.models.ContentArtifact][] instances for every batch::
-
-                repository_version = ...
-
-                batch_generator = repository_version.content_batch_qs(
-                    content_class=FileContent.objects.all()
-                )
-                for content_batch_qs in batch_generator:
-                    content_batch_qs.prefetch_related("contentartifact_set")
