BigQueryRead

BigQuery Read API.

The Read API can be used to read data from BigQuery.

New code should use the v1 Read API going forward, if they don't use Write API at the same time.

CreateReadSession

rpc CreateReadSession(CreateReadSessionRequest) returns (ReadSession)

Creates a new read session. A read session divides the contents of a BigQuery table into one or more streams, which can then be used to read data from the table. The read session also specifies properties of the data to be read, such as a list of columns or a push-down filter describing the rows to be returned.

A particular row can be read by at most one stream. When the caller has reached the end of each stream in the session, then all the data in the table has been read.

Data is assigned to each stream such that roughly the same number of rows can be read from each stream. Because the server-side unit for assigning data is collections of rows, the API does not guarantee that each stream will return the same number or rows. Additionally, the limits are enforced based on the number of pre-filtered rows, so some filters can lead to lopsided assignments.

Read sessions automatically expire 6 hours after they are created and do not require manual clean-up by the caller.
ReadRows

rpc ReadRows(ReadRowsRequest) returns (ReadRowsResponse)

Reads rows from the stream in the format prescribed by the ReadSession. Each response contains one or more table rows, up to a maximum of 100 MiB per response; read requests which attempt to read individual rows larger than 100 MiB will fail.

Each request also returns a set of stream statistics reflecting the current state of the stream.
SplitReadStream

rpc SplitReadStream(SplitReadStreamRequest) returns (SplitReadStreamResponse)

Splits a given ReadStream into two ReadStream objects. These ReadStream objects are referred to as the primary and the residual streams of the split. The original ReadStream can still be read from in the same manner as before. Both of the returned ReadStream objects can also be read from, and the rows returned by both child streams will be the same as the rows read from the original stream.

Moreover, the two child streams will be allocated back-to-back in the original ReadStream. Concretely, it is guaranteed that for streams original, primary, and residual, that original[0-j] = primary[0-j] and original[j-n] = residual[0-m] once the streams have been read to completion.

BigQueryWrite

BigQuery Write API.

The Write API can be used to write data to BigQuery.

The google.cloud.bigquery.storage.v1 API should be used instead of the v1beta2 API for BigQueryWrite operations.

AppendRows

rpc AppendRows(AppendRowsRequest) returns (AppendRowsResponse)

Appends data to the given stream.

If offset is specified, the offset is checked against the end of stream. The server returns OUT_OF_RANGE in AppendRowsResponse if an attempt is made to append to an offset beyond the current end of the stream or ALREADY_EXISTS if user provids an offset that has already been written to. User can retry with adjusted offset within the same RPC stream. If offset is not specified, append happens at the end of the stream.

The response contains the offset at which the append happened. Responses are received in the same order in which requests are sent. There will be one response for each successful request. If the offset is not set in response, it means append didn't happen due to some errors. If one request fails, all the subsequent requests will also fail until a success request is made again.

If the stream is of PENDING type, data will only be available for read operations after the stream is committed.
BatchCommitWriteStreams

rpc BatchCommitWriteStreams(BatchCommitWriteStreamsRequest) returns (BatchCommitWriteStreamsResponse)

Atomically commits a group of PENDING streams that belong to the same parent table. Streams must be finalized before commit and cannot be committed multiple times. Once a stream is committed, data in the stream becomes available for read operations.
CreateWriteStream

rpc CreateWriteStream(CreateWriteStreamRequest) returns (WriteStream)

Creates a write stream to the given table. Additionally, every table has a special COMMITTED stream named '_default' to which data can be written. This stream doesn't need to be created using CreateWriteStream. It is a stream that can be used simultaneously by any number of clients. Data written to this stream is considered committed as soon as an acknowledgement is received.
FinalizeWriteStream

rpc FinalizeWriteStream(FinalizeWriteStreamRequest) returns (FinalizeWriteStreamResponse)

Finalize a write stream so that no new data can be appended to the stream. Finalize is not supported on the '_default' stream.
FlushRows

rpc FlushRows(FlushRowsRequest) returns (FlushRowsResponse)

Flushes rows to a BUFFERED stream. If users are appending rows to BUFFERED stream, flush operation is required in order for the rows to become available for reading. A Flush operation flushes up to any previously flushed offset in a BUFFERED stream, to the offset specified in the request. Flush is not supported on the _default stream, since it is not BUFFERED.
GetWriteStream

rpc GetWriteStream(GetWriteStreamRequest) returns (WriteStream)

Gets a write stream.

AppendRowsRequest

Request message for AppendRows.

Fields
write_stream

string

Required. The stream that is the target of the append operation. This value must be specified for the initial request. If subsequent requests specify the stream name, it must equal to the value provided in the first request. To write to the _default stream, populate this field with a string in the format projects/{project}/datasets/{dataset}/tables/{table}/_default.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource writeStream:

  • bigquery.tables.updateData
offset

Int64Value

If present, the write is only performed if the next append offset is same as the provided value. If not present, the write is performed at the current end of stream. Specifying a value for this field is not allowed when calling AppendRows for the '_default' stream.
trace_id

string

Id set by client to annotate its identity. Only initial request setting is respected.

Union field response.

response can be only one of the following:
append_result

AppendResult

Result if the append is successful.
error

Status

Error returned when problems were encountered. If present, it indicates rows were not accepted into the system. Users can retry or continue with other append requests within the same connection.

Additional information about error signalling:

ALREADY_EXISTS: Happens when an append specified an offset, and the backend already has received data at this offset. Typically encountered in retry scenarios, and can be ignored.

OUT_OF_RANGE: Returned when the specified offset in the stream is beyond the current end of the stream.

INVALID_ARGUMENT: Indicates a malformed request or data.

ABORTED: Request processing is aborted because of prior failures. The request can be retried if previous failure is addressed.

INTERNAL: Indicates server side error(s) that can be retried.

avro_schema

AvroSchema

Output only. Avro schema.
arrow_schema

ArrowSchema

Output only. Arrow schema.

TableModifiers

Additional attributes when reading a table.

Fields
snapshot_time

Timestamp

The snapshot time of the table. If not set, interpreted as now.

TableReadOptions

Options dictating how we read a table.

Fields
selected_fields[]

string

Optional. The names of the fields in the table to be returned. If no field names are specified, then all fields in the table are returned.

Nested fields -- the child elements of a STRUCT field -- can be selected individually using their fully-qualified names, and will be returned as record fields containing only the selected nested fields. If a STRUCT field is specified in the selected fields list, all of the child elements will be returned.

As an example, consider a table with the following schema:

{ "name": "struct_field", "type": "RECORD", "mode": "NULLABLE", "fields": [ { "name": "string_field1", "type": "STRING", . "mode": "NULLABLE" }, { "name": "string_field2", "type": "STRING", "mode": "NULLABLE" } ] }

Specifying "struct_field" in the selected fields list will result in a read session schema with the following logical structure:

struct_field { string_field1 string_field2 }

Specifying "struct_field.string_field1" in the selected fields list will result in a read session schema with the following logical structure:

struct_field { string_field1 }

The order of the fields in the read session schema is derived from the table schema and does not correspond to the order in which the fields are specified in this list.
row_restriction

string

SQL text filtering statement, similar to a WHERE clause in a query. Aggregates are not supported.

Examples: "int_field > 5" "date_field = CAST('2014-9-27' as DATE)" "nullable_field is not NULL" "st_equals(geo_field, st_geofromtext("POINT(2, 2)"))" "numeric_field BETWEEN 1.0 AND 5.0"

Restricted to a maximum length for 1 MB.

Request message for SplitReadStream.

Fields
name

string

Required. Name of the stream to split.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource name:

  • bigquery.readsessions.update
fraction

double

A value in the range (0.0, 1.0) that specifies the fractional point at which the original stream should be split. The actual split point is evaluated on pre-filtered rows, so if a filter is provided, then there is no guarantee that the division of the rows between the new child streams will be proportional to this fractional value. Additionally, because the server-side unit for assigning data is collections of rows, this fraction will always map to a data storage boundary on the server side.

SplitReadStreamResponse

Fields
primary_stream

ReadStream

Primary stream, which contains the beginning portion of |original_stream|. An empty value indicates that the original stream can no longer be split.
remainder_stream

ReadStream

Remainder stream, which contains the tail of |original_stream|. An empty value indicates that the original stream can no longer be split.

StorageError

Structured custom BigQuery Storage error message. The error can be attached as error details in the returned rpc Status. In particular, the use of error codes allows more structured error handling, and reduces the need to evaluate unstructured error text strings.

Fields
code

StorageErrorCode

BigQuery Storage specific error code.
entity

string

Name of the failed entity.
error_message

string

Message that describes the error.

StorageErrorCode

Error code for StorageError.

STREAM_ALREADY_COMMITTED Stream is already committed.
STREAM_NOT_FOUND Stream is not found.
INVALID_STREAM_TYPE Invalid Stream type. For example, you try to commit a stream that is not pending.
INVALID_STREAM_STATE Invalid Stream state. For example, you try to commit a stream that is not finalized or is garbaged.
STREAM_FINALIZED Stream is finalized.
SCHEMA_MISMATCH_EXTRA_FIELDS There is a schema mismatch and it is caused by user schema has extra field than bigquery schema.
OFFSET_ALREADY_EXISTS Offset already exists.
OFFSET_OUT_OF_RANGE Offset out of range.
CMEK_NOT_PROVIDED Customer-managed encryption key (CMEK) not provided for CMEK-enabled data.
INVALID_CMEK_PROVIDED Customer-managed encryption key (CMEK) was incorrectly provided.

KMS_PERMISSION_DENIED Permission denied while using customer-managed encryption key.

StreamStats

Estimated stream statistics for a given Stream.

Fields
progress

Progress

Represents the progress of the current stream.

Progress

Fields
at_response_start

double

The fraction of rows assigned to the stream that have been processed by the server so far, not including the rows in the current response message.

This value, along with at_response_end, can be used to interpolate the progress made as the rows in the message are being processed using the following formula: at_response_start + (at_response_end - at_response_start) * rows_processed_from_response / rows_in_response.

Note that if a filter is provided, the at_response_end value of the previous response may not necessarily be equal to the at_response_start value of the current response.
at_response_end

double

Similar to at_response_start, except that this value includes the rows in the current response.

TableFieldSchema

A field in TableSchema

Fields

string

Optional. The field description. The maximum length is 1,024 characters.
max_length

int64

Optional. Maximum length of values of this field for STRINGS or BYTES.

If max_length is not specified, no maximum length constraint is imposed on this field.

If type = "STRING", then max_length represents the maximum UTF-8 length of strings in this field.

If type = "BYTES", then max_length represents the maximum number of bytes in this field.

It is invalid to set this field if type ≠ "STRING" and ≠ "BYTES".
precision

int64

Optional. Precision (maximum number of total digits in base 10) and scale (maximum number of digits in the fractional part in base 10) constraints for values of this field for NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC.

It is invalid to set precision or scale if type ≠ "NUMERIC" and ≠ "BIGNUMERIC".

If precision and scale are not specified, no value range constraint is imposed on this field insofar as values are permitted by the type.

Values of this NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC field must be in this range when:

  • Precision (P) and scale (S) are specified: [-10P-S + 10-S, 10P-S - 10-S]
  • Precision (P) is specified but not scale (and thus scale is interpreted to be equal to zero): [-10P + 1, 10P - 1].

Acceptable values for precision and scale if both are specified:

  • If type = "NUMERIC": 1 ≤ precision - scale ≤ 29 and 0 ≤ scale ≤ 9.
  • If type = "BIGNUMERIC": 1 ≤ precision - scale ≤ 38 and 0 ≤ scale ≤ 38.

Acceptable values for precision if only precision is specified but not scale (and thus scale is interpreted to be equal to zero):

  • If type = "NUMERIC": 1 ≤ precision ≤ 29.
  • If type = "BIGNUMERIC": 1 ≤ precision ≤ 38.

If scale is specified but not precision, then it is invalid.
