Fields
`name`	`string` The server-assigned name, which is only unique within the same service that originally returns it. If you use the default HTTP mapping, the `name` should be a resource name ending with `operations/{unique_id}`.
`metadata`	`object` Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains progress information and common metadata such as create time. Some services might not provide such metadata. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any. An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field `"@type"` contains a URI identifying the type. Example: `{ "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" }`.
`done`	`boolean` If the value is `false`, it means the operation is still in progress. If `true`, the operation is completed, and either `error` or `response` is available.
Union field `result`. The operation result, which can be either an `error` or a valid `response`. If `done` == `false`, neither `error` nor `response` is set. If `done` == `true`, exactly one of `error` or `response` may be set. Some services might not provide the result. `result` can be only one of the following:
`error`	`object (Status)` The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.
`response`	`object` The normal, successful response of the operation. If the original method returns no data on success, such as `Delete`, the response is `google.protobuf.Empty`. If the original method is standard `Get`/`Create`/`Update`, the response should be the resource. For other methods, the response should have the type `XxxResponse`, where `Xxx` is the original method name. For example, if the original method name is `TakeSnapshot()`, the inferred response type is `TakeSnapshotResponse`. An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field `"@type"` contains a URI identifying the type. Example: `{ "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" }`.
