| name | strOutput only. The resource name of the entity, of the form: projects/{project_number}/locations/{location_id}/lakes/{lake_id}/zones/{zone_id}/entities/{id}. | 
| display_name | strOptional. Display name must be shorter than or equal to 256 characters. | 
| description | strOptional. User friendly longer description text. Must be shorter than or equal to 1024 characters. |

| id | strRequired. A user-provided entity ID. It is mutable, and will be used as the published table name. Specifying a new ID in an update entity request will override the existing value.

| type_ | google.cloud.dataplex_v1.types.Entity.TypeRequired. Immutable. The type of entity. | 
| asset | strRequired. Immutable. The ID of the asset associated with the storage location containing the entity data. The entity must be with in the same zone with the asset. | 
| data_path | strRequired. Immutable. The storage path of the entity data. For Cloud Storage data, this is the fully-qualified path to the entity, such as gs://bucket/path/to/data. For
   BigQuery data, this is the name of the table resource, such
   asprojects/project_id/datasets/dataset_id/tables/table_id. | 
| data_path_pattern | strOptional. The set of items within the data path constituting the data in the entity, represented as a glob path. Example: gs://bucket/path/to/data/**/*.csv. | 
| catalog_entry | strOutput only. The name of the associated Data Catalog entry. | 
| system | google.cloud.dataplex_v1.types.StorageSystemRequired. Immutable. Identifies the storage system of the entity data. | 
| format_ | google.cloud.dataplex_v1.types.StorageFormatRequired. Identifies the storage format of the entity data. It does not apply to entities with data stored in BigQuery. | 
| compatibility | google.cloud.dataplex_v1.types.Entity.CompatibilityStatusOutput only. Metadata stores that the entity is compatible with. | 
| access | google.cloud.dataplex_v1.types.StorageAccessOutput only. Identifies the access mechanism to the entity. Not user settable. | 
| uid | strOutput only. System generated unique ID for the Entity. This ID will be different if the Entity is deleted and re-created with the same name. |
