An entity defines a collection of entities for which features can be defined. An
entity can also contain associated metadata.
Attributes:
name: The unique name of the entity.
value_type: The type of the entity, such as string or float.
join_key: A property that uniquely identifies different entities within the
collection. The join_key property is typically used for joining entities
with their associated features. If not specified, defaults to the name.
description: A human-readable description.
tags: A dictionary of key-value pairs to store arbitrary metadata.
owner: The owner of the feature service, typically the email of the primary
maintainer.
created_timestamp: The time when the entity was created.
last_updated_timestamp: The time when the entity was last updated.
