Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Spanner Instance Admin V1 API class Google::Cloud::Spanner::Admin::Instance::V1::UpdateInstancePartitionRequest.
(::Google::Protobuf::FieldMask) — Required. A mask specifying which fields in

should be updated. The field mask must always be specified; this prevents
any future fields in
InstancePartition
from being erased accidentally by clients that do not know about them.
