A (kind, ID/name) pair used to construct a key path.
If either name or ID is set, the element is complete. If neither
is set, the element is incomplete.
This message has oneof_ fields (mutually exclusive fields).
For each oneof, at most one member field can be set at the same time.
Setting any member of the oneof automatically clears all other
members.
str
The kind of the entity. A kind matching regex __.*__ is
reserved/read-only. A kind must not contain more than 1500
bytes when UTF-8 encoded. Cannot be "".
id
int
The auto-allocated ID of the entity.
Never equal to zero. Values less than zero are
discouraged and may not be supported in the
future.
This field is a member of oneof_ id_type.
name
str
The name of the entity. A name matching regex __.*__ is
reserved/read-only. A name must not be more than 1500 bytes
when UTF-8 encoded. Cannot be "".
This field is a member of oneof_ id_type.
