Here are some possibilities where utilities might come in handy:\r\n\r\n- any message with \"oneof\" gets confusjng, since users set multiple values (`AppProfile`, `DropRowRangeRequest`, `ModifyColumnFamiliesRequest`)\r\n- `Instance` messages are complex\r\n- `PartialUpdateInstanceRequest` use `google.protobuf.FieldMask` which is quite confusing\r\n- `CheckConsistency` is used for for polling, so it's ideal having a utility for this kind of functionality\r\n- \"TableExists\" type functionality should use ListTables instead of GetTable, since it's less expensive.  Users should have a clear API that produces the most efficient calls.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sduskis","@type":"Person","name":"sduskis"},"datePublished":"2018-04-10T14:05:02.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/3141/google-cloud-java/issues/3141"}
