+// The map[string]interface{} parameter contains the previous schema version
+// state data for a managed resource instance. The keys are top level attribute
+// or block names mapped to values that can be type asserted similar to
+// fetching values using the ResourceData Get* methods:
+//
+//     - TypeBool: bool
+//     - TypeFloat: float
+//     - TypeInt: int
+//     - TypeList: []interface{}
+//     - TypeMap: map[string]interface{}
+//     - TypeSet: *Set
+//     - TypeString: string
+//
+// In certain scenarios, the map may be nil, so checking for that condition
+// upfront is recommended to prevent potential panics.
+//
+// The interface{} parameter is the result of the Provider type
+// ConfigureFunc field execution. If the Provider does not define
+// a ConfigureFunc, this will be nil. This parameter is conventionally
+// used to store API clients and other provider instance specific data.
+//
+// The map[string]interface{} return parameter should contain the upgraded
+// schema version state data for a managed resource instance. Values must
+// align to the typing mentioned above.
