/**
 * Marks a method in a [Dao] annotated class as an update method.
 *
 * The implementation of the method will update its parameters in the database if they already
 * exists (checked by primary keys). If they don't already exists, this option will not change the
 * database.
 *
 * All of the parameters of the Update method must either be classes annotated with [Entity]
 * or collections/array of it.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * ```
 * @Dao
 * public interface MusicDao {
 *     @Update
 *     fun updateSong(song: Song)
 *
 *     @Update
 *     fun updateSongs(songs: List<Song>): Int
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * If the target entity is specified via [entity] then the parameters can be of arbitrary
 * POJO types that will be interpreted as partial entities. For example:
 *
 * ```
 * @Entity
 * data class Playlist (
 *     @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
 *     val playlistId: Long,
 *     val name: String,
 *     @ColumnInfo(defaultValue = "")
 *     val description: String,
 *     @ColumnInfo(defaultValue = "normal")
 *     val category: String,
 *     @ColumnInfo(defaultValue = "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP")
 *     val createdTime: String,
 *     @ColumnInfo(defaultValue = "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP")
 *     val lastModifiedTime: String
 * )
 *
 * data class PlaylistCategory (
 *   val playlistId: Long,
 *   val category: String,
 *   val lastModifiedTime: String
 * )
 *
 * @Dao
 * public interface PlaylistDao {
 *   @Update(entity = Playlist::class)
 *   fun updateCategory(varargs category: Category)
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * @see [Insert]
 * @see [Delete]

     *
     * Only the columns represented by the partial entity fields will be updated if an entity with
