On September 15, 2026, all Cloud Composer 1 versions and versions 2.0.x of Cloud Composer 2 will reach their planned end of life. You will not be able to use environments with these versions. We recommend planning migration to Cloud Composer 3. Cloud Composer 2 versions 2.1.x and later are still supported and are not impacted by this change.
Manages long-running operations with an API service.
When an API method normally takes long time to complete, it can be designed to return Operation to the client, and the client can use this interface to receive the real response asynchronously by polling the operation resource, or pass the operation resource to another API (such as Pub/Sub API) to receive the response. Any API service that returns long-running operations should implement the Operations interface so developers can have a consistent client experience.
Deletes a long-running operation. This method indicates that the client is no longer interested in the operation result. It does not cancel the operation. If the server doesn't support this method, it returns google.rpc.Code.UNIMPLEMENTED.
Gets the latest state of a long-running operation. Clients can use this method to poll the operation result at intervals as recommended by the API service.
A list of operations that matches the specified filter in the request.
next_page_token
string
The standard List next-page token.
Operation
This resource represents a long-running operation that is the result of a network API call.
Fields
name
string
The server-assigned name, which is only unique within the same service that originally returns it. If you use the default HTTP mapping, the name should be a resource name ending with operations/{unique_id}.
Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains progress information and common metadata such as create time. Some services might not provide such metadata. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.
done
bool
If the value is false, it means the operation is still in progress. If true, the operation is completed, and either error or response is available.
Union field result. The operation result, which can be either an error or a valid response. If done == false, neither error nor response is set. If done == true, exactly one of error or response can be set. Some services might not provide the result. result can be only one of the following:
The normal, successful response of the operation. If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete, the response is google.protobuf.Empty. If the original method is standard Get/Create/Update, the response should be the resource. For other methods, the response should have the type XxxResponse, where Xxx is the original method name. For example, if the original method name is TakeSnapshot(), the inferred response type is TakeSnapshotResponse.
