Google Bigtable v2 API - Struct BigtableVersion (3.2.0)

public struct BigtableVersion : IComparable, IComparable<BigtableVersion>, IEquatable<BigtableVersion>

Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Bigtable v2 API struct BigtableVersion.

A version which uniquely identifies a cell within a column.

Implements

IComparable, IComparable<BigtableVersion>, IEquatable<BigtableVersion>

Inherited Members

Object.GetType()

Namespace

Google.Cloud.Bigtable.V2

Assembly

Google.Cloud.Bigtable.V2.dll

Remarks

Note: version values are stored on the server as if they are microseconds since the Unix epoch. However, the server only supports millisecond granularity, so the server only allows microseconds in multiples of 1,000. BigtableVersion attempts to hide this complexity by exposing its underlying Value in terms of milliseconds, so if desired, a custom versioning scheme of 1, 2, ... can be used rather than 1000, 2000, ... However, access to the underlying microsecond value is still provided via Micros.

Note: when using ReadModifyWriteRow, modified columns automatically use a server version, which is based on the current timestamp since the Unix epoch. For those columns, other reads and writes should use BigtableVersion values constructed from DateTime values, as opposed to using a custom versioning scheme with 64-bit values.

Constructors

BigtableVersion(DateTime)

public BigtableVersion(DateTime timestamp)

Creates a new BigtableVersion value from the milliseconds of a timestamp since the Unix epoch.

Parameter
Name	Description
`timestamp`	`DateTime` The timestamp whose milliseconds since the Unix epoch should be used as the version value. It must be specified in UTC.

Remarks

BigtableVersion(Int64)

public BigtableVersion(long value)

Creates a new BigtableVersion value from a 64-bit value.

Parameter
Name	Description
`value`	`Int64` The non-negative version value, or -1 to initialize from the milliseconds of DateTime.UtcNow. Must be less than or equal to 9223372036854775.

Remarks

Properties

Micros

public readonly long Micros { get; }

Gets the version value interpreted as microseconds of a timestamp since the Unix epoch. Greater version values indicate newer cell values.

Property Value
Type	Description
`Int64`

Value

public readonly long Value { get; }

Gets the version value. Greater version values indicate newer cell values.

Property Value
Type	Description
`Int64`

Remarks

If timestamps are used as versions, this would be the milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

Methods

Compare(Nullable<BigtableVersion>, Nullable<BigtableVersion>)

public static int Compare(BigtableVersion? x, BigtableVersion? y)

Compares two nullable BigtableVersion values.

Parameters
Name	Description

CompareTo(BigtableVersion)

public int CompareTo(BigtableVersion other)

Parameter

`other`	`BigtableVersion`

Returns
Type	Description
`Int32`

CompareTo(Object)

public int CompareTo(object obj)

Parameter
Name	Description
`obj`	`Object`

Returns
Type	Description
`Int32`

GetHashCode()

public override int GetHashCode()

Returns
Type	Description
`Int32`

Overrides

ValueType.GetHashCode()

ToDateTime()

public DateTime ToDateTime()

Gets the DateTime equivalent to the version assuming the value is a timestamp milliseconds value since the Unix epoch.

Returns
Type	Description
`DateTime`	The DateTime representing the version timestamp.

ToString()

public override string ToString()

Returns
Type	Description
`String`

Overrides

ValueType.ToString()
