[emkornfield]

Thank you for opening a Pull Request! Before submitting your PR, there are a few things you can do to make sure it goes smoothly:

• Didn't open an issue because this seems trivial, happy to adapt if necessary.
• [x ] Ensure the tests and linter pass (mvn test verify
• [x ] Code coverage does not decrease (if any source code was changed)
• [x ] Appropriate docs were updated (if necessary)

@alvarowolfx seems like you might be a suggested reviewer here?

Look good on my end @emkornfield, but I'd ask @Neenu1995 for some Java specific review.

[emkornfield]

@shollyman could you take a look in place of Neenu? This change is to help a customer resolve an issue they are seeing.

Please also add IT tests to verify the functionality.

@Neenu1995 I don't appear to have access to the test buckets to verify a unit test. I can push what I think it likely a working unit test but would likely need your help to verify. Is there some other way I can formulate a unit test without access to the buckets?

[Neenu1995]

Hi @emkornfield,

Feel free to add the tests to the PR. We can help with the verification.

@Neenu1995 added a first stab at an integration test.

@Neenu1995 got integration test work (at least kokoro seems happy).

Thanks @emkornfield. LGTM.
