event for each entity is retrieved. If null, retrieves all fields.
Note that the value of the key/value pair for `primaryFilter` and
`secondaryFilters` parameters can be of different data types, and matching is
data type sensitive. Users need to format the value properly. For example, `123`
and `"123"` means an integer and a string respectively. If the entity has a
string `"123"` for `primaryFilter`, but the parameter is set to the integer
`123`, the entity will not be matched. Similarly, `true` means a boolean while
`"true"` means a string. In general, the value will be casted as a certain Java
type in consistent with `jackson` library parsing a JSON clip.
