Required. A mask specifying which fields in [Instance][google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.Instance] should be updated.

[Instance][google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.Instance] from being erased accidentally by clients that do not know
about them.
Required. The instance to update, which must always include the instance
name. Otherwise, only fields mentioned in [field_mask][google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.UpdateInstanceRequest.field_mask] need be included.
