Fields

Union field consistency_type. For Cloud Firestore in Datastore mode, if you don't specify read_consistency then all lookups and queries default to read_consistency=STRONG. Note that, in Cloud Datastore, global queries defaulted to read_consistency=EVENTUAL.

Explicitly setting read_consistency=EVENTUAL will result in eventually consistent lookups and queries. consistency_type can be only one of the following:

readConsistency

enum (ReadConsistency)

The non-transactional read consistency to use.

transaction

string (bytes format)

The identifier of the transaction in which to read. A transaction identifier is returned by a call to Datastore.BeginTransaction.

A base64-encoded string.

readTime

string (Timestamp format)

Reads entities as they were at the given time. This value is only supported for Cloud Firestore in Datastore mode.

This must be a microsecond precision timestamp within the past one hour, or if Point-in-Time Recovery is enabled, can additionally be a whole minute timestamp within the past 7 days.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".

ReadConsistency

The possible values for read consistencies.

Enums
READ_CONSISTENCY_UNSPECIFIED Unspecified. This value must not be used.
STRONG Strong consistency.
EVENTUAL Eventual consistency.
