Manages long-running operations with an API service.
When an API method normally takes long time to complete, it can be designed
to return [Operation][google.longrunning.Operation] to the client, and the client can use this
interface to receive the real response asynchronously by polling the
operation resource, or pass the operation resource to another API (such as
Google Cloud Pub/Sub API) to receive the response. Any API service that
returns long-running operations should implement theOperationsinterface
so developers can have a consistent client experience.
