    This class acts as an abstraction of a single dataset
    in the Cloud Datastore.

    A dataset is analogous to a database
    in relational database world,
    and corresponds to a single project
    using the Cloud Datastore.

    Typically, you would only have one of these per connection
    however it didn't seem right to collapse the functionality
    of a connection and a dataset together into a single class.

    Datasets (like :class:`gcloud.datastore.query.Query`)
    are immutable.
    That is, you cannot change the ID and connection
    references.
    If you need to modify the connection or ID,
    it's recommended to construct a new :class:`Dataset`.
