DESCRIPTION
    Create a Data Catalog entry.

EXAMPLES
    To create an entry for a Google Cloud Storage fileset, run:

        $ gcloud data-catalog entries create entry1 --location=us-central1 \
            --entry-group=group1 \
            --gcs-file-patterns="gs://bucket1/abc/*,gs://bucket1/file1" \
            --display-name="analytics data" --type=FILESET

    To create an entry for a Google Cloud Storage fileset with an inline
    schema, run:

        $ gcloud data-catalog entries create entry1 --location=us-central1 \
            --entry-group=group1 --gcs-file-patterns="gs://bucket1/*" \
            --display-name="sales data" \
            --schema="qtr=STRING,sales=FLOAT,year=STRING"

    To create an entry for a resource of a custom type, run:

        $ gcloud data-catalog entries create entry1 --location=us-central1 \
            --entry-group=group1 --display-name="sales data" \
            --linked-resource="www.resource.com" \
            --user-specified-type="type_name" \
            --user-specified-system="system_name"

    To create an entry for a Google Cloud Storage fileset with a schema from a
    file, run:

        $ gcloud data-catalog entries create entry1 --location=us-central1 \
            --entry-group=group1 --gcs-file-patterns="gs://bucket1/*" \
            --display-name="sales data" \
            --schema-from-file=/tmp/schema.json --type=FILESET

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Entry resource - Entry to create. The arguments in this group can be used
     to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not
     given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.

     To set the project attribute:
      ◆ provide the argument entry on the command line with a fully specified
        name;
      ◆ set the property core/project;
      ◆ provide the argument --project on the command line.

     This must be specified.

       ENTRY
          ID of the entry or fully qualified identifier for the entry.

          To set the entry attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument entry on the command line.

          This positional argument must be specified if any of the other
          arguments in this group are specified.

       --entry-group=ENTRY_GROUP
          Entry group of the entry.

          To set the entry-group attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument entry on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --entry-group on the command line.

       --location=LOCATION
          Location of the entry.

          To set the location attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument entry on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --location on the command line.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     Types can either be specified as a built-in type or described as a custom
     type.

     Exactly one of these must be specified:

       Built-in type can be specified for an entry. For types FILESET, a file
       pattern must be specified.

         --type=TYPE
            Type of the entry. TYPE must be one of: cluster, dashboard,
            database, database-schema, data-source-connection, data-stream,
            entry-type-unspecified, explore, fileset, lake, look, model,
            routine, service, table, zone.

            This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments
            in this group are specified.

         --gcs-file-patterns=[GCS_FILE_PATTERNS,...]
            Patterns to identify a set of files in Google Cloud Storage. A star
            (*) may be used at the end of a pattern to match arbitrary files
            beginning with that pattern.

            Examples of valid file patterns:
            ▫ gs://bucket_name/* - Matches all files in 'bucket_name'.
            ▫ gs://bucket_name/file* - Matches files prefixed by 'file' in
              'bucket_name'.
            ▫ gs://another_bucket/a.txt - Matches
              'gs://another_bucket/a.txt'.

       --user-specified-system=USER_SPECIFIED_SYSTEM
          External system from which the entry is fed. If --type is not used,
          then --user-specified-system must be provided.

          This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in
          this group are specified.

       Exactly one of these must be specified:

         For externally ingested resources, --user-specified-type and
         --user-specified-system are required. Linked resource and source
         system time stamps are optional.

           --user-specified-type=USER_SPECIFIED_TYPE
              Type of the entry coming from external system. If --type is not
              used, then --user-specified-type must be provided.

              This flag argument must be specified if any of the other
              arguments in this group are specified.

           --linked-resource=LINKED_RESOURCE
              Link to the resource in external system. If --type is not used,
              then --linked-resource may be provided.

           --source-system-create-time=SOURCE_SYSTEM_CREATE_TIME
              Creation timestamp of the resource in the external system. If
              --type is not used, then --source-system-create-time may be
              provided.

           --source-system-update-time=SOURCE_SYSTEM_UPDATE_TIME
              Update timestamp of the resource in the external system. If
              --type is not used, then --source-system-update-time may be
              provided.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --description=DESCRIPTION
        Textual description of the entry.

     --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME
        Human-readable name for the entry.

     Column schema for the entry. A schema consists of a list of column names
     along with their types, descriptions, modes, and nested subcolumns. For
     example:

         - column: first_name
           description: First name
           mode: REQUIRED
           type: STRING
         - column: last_name
           description: Last name
           mode: REQUIRED
           type: STRING
         - column: addresses
           description: Addresses
           mode: REPEATED
           type: RECORD
           subcolumns:
           - column: city
             description: City
             mode: NULLABLE
             type: STRING
           - column: state
             description: State
             mode: NULLABLE
             type: STRING

     At most one of these can be specified:

       --schema=[COLUMN_NAME=COLUMN_TYPE,...]
          Inline schema for the entry. When specifying a schema via this
          argument, only column names and types should be provided. Column
          modes will default to NULLABLE, and column descriptions and nested
          subcolumns are not supported.

       --schema-from-file=SCHEMA_FROM_FILE
          Path to a JSON or YAML file containing the schema for the entry. This
          can be used to specify schemas with column descriptions, column modes
          other than NULLABLE, and nested subcolumns.
