Discussion

This method provides a convenient way to configure the entity for a fetch request without having to retrieve an NSEntityDescription object. When the fetch is executed, the request uses the managed object context to find the entity with the given name. The model associated with the context’s persistent store coordinator must contain an entity named entityName.
