Class Client (2.16.0)

The Google Cloud Storage (GCS) Client.

This is the main class to interact with GCS. It provides member functions to invoke all the APIs in the service.

Performance

Creating an object of this type is a relatively low-cost operation. Connections to the service are created on demand. Copy-assignment and copy-construction are also relatively low-cost operations, they should be comparable to copying a few shared pointers. The first request (or any request that requires a new connection) incurs the cost of creating the connection and authenticating with the service. Note that the library may need to perform other bookkeeping operations that may impact performance. For example, access tokens need to be refreshed from time to time, and this may impact the performance of some operations.

Connection Pool

By default this class uses HTTPS to communicate with the service. Creating a new HTTPS session is relatively expensive, as it must go through the TCP/IP and SSL handshakes. To minimize this overhead the class maintains a connection pool to the service. After each request completes the connection is returned to the pool, and reused in future requests. Note that for downloads (implemented by the ReadObject() member function) the connection remains in use until the download completes. Therefore, having multiple downloads open at the same time requires multiple connections. The application can limit the maximum size of this connection pool using storage::ConnectionPoolSizeOption. If returning a connection to the pool would make the pool larger than this limit then the oldest connection in the pool is closed (recall that all connections in the pool are inactive). Note that this is the maximum size of the pool, the client library does not create connections until needed.

Note that the application may (at times) use more connections than the maximum size of the pool. For example if N downloads are in progress the library may need N connections, even if the pool size is smaller.

Two clients that compare equal share the same connection pool. Two clients created with the default constructor or with the constructor from a google::cloud::Options are never equal and do not share connection pools. Clients created via copy (or move) construction compare equal and share the connection pool.

Thread-safety

Instances of this class created via copy-construction or copy-assignment share the underlying pool of connections. Access to these copies via multiple threads is guaranteed to work. Two threads operating on the same instance of this class is not guaranteed to work.

Credentials

The default approach for creating a Client uses Google Application Default Credentials (ADCs). Note that a default-constructed client uses the ADCs:

  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  [](std::string const& bucket_name, std::string const& object_name) {
    auto client = gcs::Client();
    PerformSomeOperations(client, bucket_name, object_name);
  }

Finding or loading the ADCs can fail. This will result in run-time errors when making requests.

If you prefer to explicitly load the ADCs use:

  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::Options;
  using ::google::cloud::UnifiedCredentialsOption;
  [](std::string const& bucket_name, std::string const& object_name) {
    auto client = gcs::Client(Options{}.set<UnifiedCredentialsOption>(
        google::cloud::MakeGoogleDefaultCredentials()));
    PerformSomeOperations(client, bucket_name, object_name);
  }

To load a service account credentials key file use:

  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  [](std::string const& filename, std::string const& bucket_name,
     std::string const& object_name) {
    auto is = std::ifstream(filename);
    is.exceptions(std::ios::badbit);
    auto json_string =
        std::string(std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(is.rdbuf()), {});
    auto credentials =
        google::cloud::MakeServiceAccountCredentials(json_string);
    auto client = gcs::Client(
        google::cloud::Options{}.set<google::cloud::UnifiedCredentialsOption>(
            credentials));
    PerformSomeOperations(client, bucket_name, object_name);
  }

Other credential types are available, including:

Error Handling

This class uses StatusOr<T> to report errors. When an operation fails to perform its work the returned StatusOr<T> contains the error details. If the ok() member function in the StatusOr<T> returns true then it contains the expected result. Please consult the StatusOr<T> documentation for more details.

namespace gcs = google::cloud::storage;
gcs::Client client = ...;
google::cloud::StatusOr<gcs::BucketMetadata> bucket_metadata =
    client.GetBucketMetadata("my-bucket");

if (!bucket_metadata) {
  std::cerr << "Error getting metadata for my-bucket: "
            << bucket_metadata.status() << "\n";
  return;
}

// Use bucket_metadata as a smart pointer here, e.g.:
std::cout << "The generation for " << bucket_metadata->name() " is "
          << bucket_metadata->generation() << "\n";

In addition, the main page contains examples using StatusOr<T> to handle errors.

Optional Request Options

Most of the member functions in this class can receive optional request options. For example, the default when reading multi-version objects is to retrieve the latest version:

auto stream = gcs.ReadObject("my-bucket", "my-object");

Some applications may want to retrieve specific versions. In this case just provide the Generation request option:

auto stream = gcs.ReadObject(
    "my-bucket", "my-object", gcs::Generation(generation));

Each function documents the types accepted as optional request options. These parameters can be specified in any order. Specifying a request option that is not applicable to a member function results in a compile-time error.

All operations support the following common request options:

  • Fields: return a partial response, which includes only the desired fields.
  • QuotaUser: attribute the request to this specific label for quota purposes.
  • UserProject: change the request costs (if applicable) to this GCP project.
  • CustomHeader: include a custom header with the request. These are typically used for testing, though they are sometimes helpful if environments where HTTPS traffic is mediated by a proxy.
  • IfMatchEtag: a pre-condition, the operation succeeds only if the resource ETag matches. Typically used in OCC loops ("change X only if its Etag is still Y"). Note that GCS sometimes ignores this header, we recommend you use the GCS specific pre-conditions (e.g., IfGenerationMatch, IfMetagenerationMatch and their *NotMatch counterparts) instead.
  • IfNoneMatchEtag: a pre-condition, abort the operation if the resource ETag has not changed. Typically used in caching ("return the contents of X only if the Etag is different from the last value I got, which was Y"). Note that GCS sometimes ignores this header, we recommend you use the GCS specific pre-conditions (e.g., IfGenerationMatch, IfMetagenerationMatch and their *NotMatch counterparts) instead.
  • UserIp: attribute the request to this specific IP address for quota purpose. Not recommended, prefer QuotaUser instead.
Per-operation Overrides

In addition to the request options, which are passed on to the service to modify the request, you can specify options that override the local behavior of the library. For example, you can override the local retry policy:

  namespace g = ::google::cloud;
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  [](std::string const& bucket_name, std::string const& object_name_1,
     std::string const& object_name_2) {
    auto client = gcs::Client();
    auto metadata = client.InsertObject(
        bucket_name, object_name_1,
        "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog",
        g::Options{}.set<gcs::RetryPolicyOption>(
            gcs::LimitedTimeRetryPolicy(std::chrono::minutes(5)).clone()));
    if (!metadata) throw std::move(metadata).status();

    auto is =
        client.ReadObject(bucket_name, object_name_1,
                          g::Options{}.set<gcs::RetryPolicyOption>(
                              gcs::LimitedErrorCountRetryPolicy(10).clone()));
    auto contents = std::string{std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(is.rdbuf()), {}};
    if (is.bad()) throw google::cloud::Status(is.status());

    auto os = client.WriteObject(
        bucket_name, object_name_2,
        g::Options{}.set<gcs::RetryPolicyOption>(
            gcs::LimitedTimeRetryPolicy(std::chrono::minutes(5)).clone()));
    os << contents;
    os.Close();
    if (os.bad()) throw google::cloud::Status(os.metadata().status());

    auto result = client.DeleteObject(
        bucket_name, object_name_1, gcs::Generation(metadata->generation()),
        g::Options{}.set<gcs::RetryPolicyOption>(
            gcs::LimitedErrorCountRetryPolicy(12).clone()));
    if (!result.ok()) throw std::move(metadata).status();

    metadata = os.metadata();
    result = client.DeleteObject(
        bucket_name, object_name_2, gcs::Generation(metadata->generation()),
        g::Options{}.set<gcs::RetryPolicyOption>(
            gcs::LimitedErrorCountRetryPolicy(12).clone()));
    if (!result.ok()) throw std::move(metadata).status();
  }
Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies

The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and follows the recommended practice to backoff between retries.

The default policies are to continue retrying for up to 15 minutes, and to use truncated (at 5 minutes) exponential backoff, doubling the maximum backoff period between retries. Likewise, the idempotency policy is configured to retry all operations.

The application can override these policies when constructing objects of this class. The documentation for the constructors show examples of this in action.

Computes the difference between two BucketMetadata objects and patches a bucket based on that difference.

A Buckets: update request changes all the writeable attributes of a bucket, in contrast, a Buckets: patch request only changes the subset of the attributes included in the request.

This function creates a patch request to change the writeable attributes in original to the values in updated. Non-writeable attributes are ignored, and attributes not present in updated are removed. Typically this function is used after the application obtained a value with GetBucketMetadata and has modified these parameters.

PatchBucket(std::string, BucketMetadataPatchBuilder const &, Options &&...)

Patches the metadata in a Google Cloud Storage Bucket given a desired set changes.

A Buckets: update request changes all the writeable attributes of a bucket, in contrast, a Buckets: patch request only changes the subset of the attributes included in the request. This function creates a patch request based on the given BucketMetadataPatchBuilder which represents the desired set of changes.

Idempotency

Parameters
Name Description
bucket_name std::string

the bucket to be updated.

builder BucketMetadataPatchBuilder const &

the set of updates to perform in the Bucket.

options Options &&...

a list of optional query parameters and/or request headers. Valid types for this operation include IfMetagenerationMatch, IfMetagenerationNotMatch, PredefinedAcl, PredefinedDefaultObjectAcl, Projection, and UserProject.

typename...
Returns
Type Description
StatusOr< BucketMetadata >

GetNativeBucketIamPolicy(std::string const &, Options &&...)

Fetches the native IAM policy for a Bucket.

Google Cloud Identity & Access Management (IAM) lets administrators authorize who can take action on specific resources, including Google Cloud Storage Buckets. This operation allows you to query the IAM policies for a Bucket. IAM policies are a superset of the Bucket ACL, changes to the Bucket ACL are reflected in the IAM policy, and vice-versa. The documentation describes the mapping between legacy Bucket ACLs and IAM policies.

Consult the documentation for a more detailed description of IAM policies and their use in Google Cloud Storage.

Idempotency

This is a read-only operation and is always idempotent.

Example
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& bucket_name) {
    auto policy = client.GetNativeBucketIamPolicy(
        bucket_name, gcs::RequestedPolicyVersion(3));

    if (!policy) throw std::move(policy).status();
    std::cout << "The IAM policy for bucket " << bucket_name << " is "
              << *policy << "\n";
  }

SetNativeBucketIamPolicy(std::string const &, NativeIamPolicy const &, Options &&...)

Sets the native IAM Policy for a Bucket.

Google Cloud Identity & Access Management (IAM) lets administrators authorize who can take action on specific resources, including Google Cloud Storage Buckets. This operation allows you to set the IAM policies for a Bucket. IAM policies are a superset of the Bucket ACL, changes to the Bucket ACL are reflected in the IAM policy, and vice-versa. The documentation describes the mapping between legacy Bucket ACLs and IAM policies.

Consult the documentation for a more detailed description of IAM policies their use in Google Cloud Storage.

Idempotency

This operation is only idempotent if restricted by pre-conditions, in this case, IfMetagenerationMatch.

Example: adding a new member
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& bucket_name,
     std::string const& role, std::string const& member) {
    auto policy = client.GetNativeBucketIamPolicy(
        bucket_name, gcs::RequestedPolicyVersion(3));

    if (!policy) throw std::move(policy).status();

    policy->set_version(3);
    for (auto& binding : policy->bindings()) {
      if (binding.role() != role || binding.has_condition()) {
        continue;
      }
      auto& members = binding.members();
      if (std::find(members.begin(), members.end(), member) == members.end()) {
        members.emplace_back(member);
      }
    }

    auto updated = client.SetNativeBucketIamPolicy(bucket_name, *policy);
    if (!updated) throw std::move(updated).status();

    std::cout << "Updated IAM policy bucket " << bucket_name
              << ". The new policy is " << *updated << "\n";
  }
Example: removing a IAM member
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& bucket_name,
     std::string const& role, std::string const& member) {

        bucket_name, gcs::RequestedPolicyVersion(3));
    if (!policy) throw std::move(policy).status();

      auto& members = binding.members();
      if (binding.role() == role && !binding.has_condition()) {
        members.erase(std::remove(members.begin(), members.end(), member),
                      members.end());
      }
      if (!members.empty()) {
        updated_bindings.emplace_back(std::move(binding));
      }
    }
    policy->bindings() = std::move(updated_bindings);

    auto updated = client.SetNativeBucketIamPolicy(bucket_name, *policy);

TestBucketIamPermissions(std::string, std::vector< std::string >, Options &&...)

Tests the IAM permissions of the caller against a Bucket.

Google Cloud Identity & Access Management (IAM) lets administrators authorize who can take action on specific resources, including Google Cloud Storage Buckets. This operation tests the permissions of the caller for a Bucket. You must provide a list of permissions, this API will return the subset of those permissions that the current caller has in the given Bucket.

Consult the documentation for a more detailed description of IAM policies their use in Google Cloud Storage.

Idempotency

This is a read-only operation and is always idempotent.

Example
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& bucket_name,
     std::vector<std::string> const& permissions) {
    StatusOr<std::vector<std::string>> actual_permissions =
        client.TestBucketIamPermissions(bucket_name, permissions);
    if (!actual_permissions) throw std::move(actual_permissions).status();

    if (actual_permissions->empty()) {
      std::cout << "The caller does not hold any of the tested permissions the"
                << " bucket " << bucket_name << "\n";
      return;
    }

LockBucketRetentionPolicy(std::string const &, std::uint64_t, Options &&...)

Locks the retention policy for a bucket.

The Bucket Lock feature allows you to configure a data retention policy for a Cloud Storage bucket that governs how long objects in the bucket must be retained. The feature also allows you to lock the data retention policy, permanently preventing the policy from being reduced or removed.

Idempotency

This operation is always idempotent because the metageneration parameter is always required, and it acts as a pre-condition on the operation.

Example: lock the retention policy
  // [START storage_lock_retention_policy]
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& bucket_name) {

        client.LockBucketRetentionPolicy(bucket_name,
                                         original->metageneration());
    if (!updated_metadata) throw std::move(updated_metadata).status();

    if (!updated_metadata->has_retention_policy()) {
      std::cerr << "The bucket " << updated_metadata->name()
                << " does not have a retention policy, even though the"
                << " operation to set it was successful.\n"
                << "This is unexpected, and may indicate that another"
                << " application has modified the bucket concurrently.\n";
      return;

InsertObject(std::string const &, std::string const &, absl::string_view, Options &&...)

Creates an object given its name and contents.

If you need to perform larger uploads or uploads where the data is not contiguous in memory, use WriteObject(). This function always performs a single-shot upload, while WriteObject() always uses resumable uploads. The service documentation has recommendations on the upload size vs. single-shot or resumable uploads.

Idempotency

This operation is only idempotent if restricted by pre-conditions, in this case, IfGenerationMatch.

Example
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;

ListObjectsAndPrefixesReader

ReadObject(std::string const &, std::string const &, Options &&...)

Reads the contents of an object.

Returns an object derived from std::istream which can be used to read the contents of the GCS blob. The application should check the badbit (e.g. by calling stream.bad()) on the returned object to detect if there was an error reading from the blob. If badbit is set, the application can check the status() variable to get details about the failure. Applications can also set the exception mask on the returned stream, in which case an exception is thrown if an error is detected.

Idempotency

This is a read-only operation and is always idempotent.

Example
  // [START storage_stream_file_download]
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;

typename...
Returns
Type Description
ObjectReadStream

WriteObject(std::string const &, std::string const &, Options &&...)

Writes contents into an object.

This creates a std::ostream object to upload contents. The application can use either the regular operator<<(), or std::ostream::write() to upload data.

For small uploads where all the data is contiguous in memory we recommend using InsertObject(). The service documentation has specific recommendations on object sizes and upload types.

This function always uses resumable uploads. The application can provide a #RestoreResumableUploadSession() option to resume a previously created upload. The returned object has accessors to query the session id and the next byte expected by GCS.

If the application does not provide a #RestoreResumableUploadSession() option, or it provides the #NewResumableUploadSession() option then a new resumable upload session is created.

More information about buffering and recommendations around performance in the ObjectWriteStream class documentation.

Idempotency

This operation is only idempotent if restricted by pre-conditions, in this case, IfGenerationMatch.

Example
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& bucket_name,
     std::string const& object_name, int desired_line_count) {
    std::string const text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet";
    gcs::ObjectWriteStream stream =
        client.WriteObject(bucket_name, object_name);

    for (int lineno = 0; lineno != desired_line_count; ++lineno) {
      // Add 1 to the counter, because it is conventional to number lines
      // starting at 1.
      stream << (lineno + 1) << ": " << text << "\n";
    }

    stream.Close();

    StatusOr<gcs::ObjectMetadata> metadata = std::move(stream).metadata();
    if (!metadata) throw std::move(metadata).status();

              << " its size is: " << metadata->size()
              << "\nFull metadata: " << *metadata << "\n";
  }
Example: write an object with a CMEK.

    // Line numbers start at 1.
    for (int lineno = 1; lineno <= 10; ++lineno) {
      stream << lineno << ": placeholder text for CMEK example.\n";
    }

    stream.Close();

    StatusOr<gcs::ObjectMetadata> metadata = std::move(stream).metadata();
    if (!metadata) throw std::move(metadata).status();

        gcs::AutoFinalizeDisabled());
    auto session_id = stream.resumable_session_id();
    std::cout << "Created resumable upload: " << session_id << "\n";
    // Because this stream was created with `AutoFinalizeDisabled()` its
    // destructor will *not* finalize the upload, allowing a separate process or
    // function to resume and continue the upload.
    stream << "This data will not get uploaded, it is too small\n";
    return session_id;
  }
Example: resuming a resumable upload.
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& bucket_name,
     std::string const& object_name, std::string const& session_id) {

Parameters
Name Description
source_bucket_name std::string

the name of the bucket containing the source object.

source_object_name std::string

the name of the source object.

destination_bucket_name std::string

where the destination object will be located.

destination_object_name std::string

what to name the destination object.

options Options &&...

a list of optional query parameters and/or request headers. Valid types for this operation include DestinationKmsKeyName, DestinationPredefinedAcl, EncryptionKey, IfGenerationMatch, IfGenerationNotMatch, IfMetagenerationMatch, IfSourceGenerationMatch, IfSourceGenerationNotMatch, IfSourceMetagenerationMatch, IfSourceMetagenerationNotMatch, MaxBytesRewrittenPerCall, Projection, SourceEncryptionKey, SourceGeneration, UserProject, and WithObjectMetadata.

typename...
Returns
Type Description
ObjectRewriter

ResumeRewriteObject(std::string, std::string, std::string, std::string, std::string, Options &&...)

Creates an ObjectRewriter to resume a previously created rewrite.

Applications use this function to resume a rewrite operation, possibly created with RewriteObject(). Rewrite can reliably copy objects across location boundaries, and can rewrite objects with different encryption keys. For large objects this operation can take a long time, thus applications should consider checkpointing the rewrite token (accessible in the ObjectRewriter) and restarting the operation in the event the program is terminated.

Idempotency

This operation is only idempotent if restricted by pre-conditions, in this case, IfGenerationMatch.

Example
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& source_bucket_name,
     std::string const& source_object_name,
     std::string const& destination_bucket_name,
     std::string const& destination_object_name,
     std::string const& rewrite_token) {
    gcs::ObjectRewriter rewriter = client.ResumeRewriteObject(
        source_bucket_name, source_object_name, destination_bucket_name,
        destination_object_name, rewrite_token,
        gcs::MaxBytesRewrittenPerCall(1024 * 1024));

    auto callback = [](StatusOr<gcs::RewriteProgress> progress) {
      if (!progress) throw std::move(progress).status();
      std::cout << "Rewrote " << progress->total_bytes_rewritten << "/"
                << progress->object_size << "\n";
    };
    StatusOr<gcs::ObjectMetadata> metadata =
        rewriter.ResultWithProgressCallback(std::move(callback));
    if (!metadata) throw std::move(metadata).status();

    std::cout << "Rewrote object " << metadata->name() << " in bucket "
              << metadata->bucket() << "\nFull Metadata: " << *metadata << "\n";
  }
Parameters
Name Description

destination_object_name std::string

what to name the destination object.

rewrite_token std::string

the token from a previous successful rewrite iteration. Can be the empty string, in which case this starts a new rewrite operation.

options Options &&...

a list of optional query parameters and/or request headers. Valid types for this operation include DestinationKmsKeyName, DestinationPredefinedAcl, EncryptionKey, IfGenerationMatch, IfGenerationNotMatch, IfMetagenerationMatch, IfSourceGenerationMatch, IfSourceGenerationNotMatch, IfSourceMetagenerationMatch, IfSourceMetagenerationNotMatch, MaxBytesRewrittenPerCall, Projection, SourceEncryptionKey, SourceGeneration, UserProject, and WithObjectMetadata.

typename...
Returns
Type Description
ObjectRewriter

RewriteObjectBlocking(std::string, std::string, std::string, std::string, Options &&...)

Rewrites the object, blocking until the rewrite completes, and returns the resulting ObjectMetadata.

Applications use this function to reliably copy objects across location boundaries, and to rewrite objects with different encryption keys. The operation blocks until the rewrite completes, and returns the resulting ObjectMetadata.

Idempotency

This operation is only idempotent if restricted by pre-conditions, in this case, IfGenerationMatch.

Example
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& source_bucket_name,
     std::string const& source_object_name,

    StatusOr<gcs::ObjectMetadata> metadata = client.RewriteObjectBlocking(
        source_bucket_name, source_object_name, destination_bucket_name,
        destination_object_name);

    std::cout << "Rewrote object " << destination_object_name
              << " Metadata: " << *metadata << "\n";
  }
Example: using rewrite object to rotate the encryption key

            gcs::EncryptionKey::FromBase64Key(new_key_base64));
    if (!object_metadata) throw std::move(object_metadata).status();

    std::cout << "Rotated key on object " << object_metadata->name()
              << " in bucket " << object_metadata->bucket()
              << "\nFull Metadata: " << *object_metadata << "\n";
  }

DeleteNotification(std::string const &, std::string const &, Options &&...)

Delete an existing notification config in a given Bucket.

Cloud Pub/Sub Notifications sends information about changes to objects in your buckets to Google Cloud Pub/Sub service. You can create multiple notifications per Bucket, with different topics and filtering options. This function deletes one of the notification configs.

Idempotency

This operation is always idempotent because it only acts on a specific notification_id, the state after calling this function multiple times is to delete that notification. New notifications get different ids.

Example
  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  [](gcs::Client client, std::string const& bucket_name,
     std::string const& notification_id) {
    google::cloud::Status status =
        client.DeleteNotification(bucket_name, notification_id);
