| ancestors            | core | array<string> |
| create_time          | core | timestamp     | Output only. Timestamp the Collection was created at.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| data_connector       | core | json          | Output only. The data connector, if present, manages the connection for data stores in the Collection. To set up the connector, use DataConnectorService.SetUpDataConnector method, which creates a new Collection while setting up the DataConnector singleton resource. Setting up connector on an existing Collection is not supported. This output only field contains a subset of the DataConnector fields, including `name`, `data_source`, `entities.entity_name` and `entities.data_store`. To get more details about a data connector, use the DataConnectorService.GetDataConnector method. |
