The unique name of the table. Values are of the form projects/{project}/instances/{instance}/tables/[_a-zA-Z0-9][-_.a-zA-Z0-9]*. Views: NAME_ONLY, SCHEMA_VIEW, REPLICATION_VIEW, STATS_VIEW, FULL
Required. The list of fields to update. A mask specifying which fields (e.g. changeStreamConfig) in the table field should be updated. This mask is relative to the table field, not to the request message. The wildcard (*) path is currently not supported. Currently tables.patch is only supported for the following fields:
changeStreamConfig
changeStreamConfig.retention_period
deletionProtection
automatedBackupPolicy
automatedBackupPolicy.retention_period
automatedBackupPolicy.frequency
rowKeySchema
If columnFamilies is set in updateMask, it will return an UNIMPLEMENTED error.
This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".
ignoreWarnings
boolean
Optional. If true, ignore safety checks when updating the table.
