    - `etag` string, required — The ETag (or entity tag) HTTP response header is an identifier for a specific version of a resource. It lets caches be more efficient and save bandwidth, as a web server does not need to resend a full response if the content was not changed.

      - `bypassSelectors` boolean — If set to true, then router will match workers to jobs even if they don't match label selectors. Warning: You may get workers that are not qualified for a job they are matched with if you set this variable to true. This flag is intended more for temporary usage. By default, set to false.
