The entity's properties.
The map's keys are property names.
A property name matching regex .* is reserved.
A reserved property name is forbidden in certain documented contexts.
The map keys, represented as UTF-8, must not exceed 1,500 bytes and cannot
be empty.
The entity's key.
An entity must have a key, unless otherwise documented (for example,
an entity in Value.entity_value may have no key).
An entity's kind is its key path's last element's kind,
or null if it has no key.
