Class SchemaAwareStreamWriter<T> (2.38.0)

public class SchemaAwareStreamWriter<T> implements AutoCloseable

A StreamWriter that can write data to BigQuery tables. The SchemaAwareStreamWriter is built on top of a StreamWriter, and it converts all data to Protobuf messages using provided converter then calls StreamWriter's append() method to write to BigQuery tables. It maintains all StreamWriter functions, but also provides an additional feature: schema update support, where if the BigQuery table schema is updated, users will be able to ingest data on the new schema after some time (in order of minutes).

<T>newBuilder(String streamOrTableName, BigQueryWriteClient client, ToProtoConverter<T> toProtoConverter)

public static SchemaAwareStreamWriter.Builder<T> <T>newBuilder(String streamOrTableName, BigQueryWriteClient client, ToProtoConverter<T> toProtoConverter)

newBuilder that constructs a SchemaAwareStreamWriter builder with TableSchema being initialized by StreamWriter by default.

Parameters
Name	Description
`streamOrTableName`	`String` name of the stream that must follow "projects/[^/]+/datasets/[^/]+/tables/[^/]+/streams/[^/]+"
`client`	`BigQueryWriteClient` BigQueryWriteClient
`toProtoConverter`	`ToProtoConverter<T>`

Returns
Type	Description
`Builder<T>`	Builder

<T>newBuilder(String streamOrTableName, TableSchema tableSchema, BigQueryWriteClient client, ToProtoConverter<T> toProtoConverter)

public static SchemaAwareStreamWriter.Builder<T> <T>newBuilder(String streamOrTableName, TableSchema tableSchema, BigQueryWriteClient client, ToProtoConverter<T> toProtoConverter)

newBuilder that constructs a SchemaAwareStreamWriter builder.

The table schema passed in will be updated automatically when there is a schema update event. When used for Writer creation, it should be the latest schema. So when you are trying to reuse a stream, you should use Builder newBuilder( String streamOrTableName, BigQueryWriteClient client) instead, so the created Writer will be based on a fresh schema.

Parameters
Name	Description
`streamOrTableName`	`String` name of the stream that must follow "projects/[^/]+/datasets/[^/]+/tables/[^/]+/streams/[^/]+"
`tableSchema`	`TableSchema` The schema of the table when the stream was created, which is passed back through `WriteStream`
`client`	`BigQueryWriteClient`
`toProtoConverter`	`ToProtoConverter<T>`

Returns
Type	Description
`Builder<T>`	Builder

<T>newBuilder(String streamOrTableName, TableSchema tableSchema, ToProtoConverter<T> toProtoConverter)

public static SchemaAwareStreamWriter.Builder<T> <T>newBuilder(String streamOrTableName, TableSchema tableSchema, ToProtoConverter<T> toProtoConverter)

newBuilder that constructs a SchemaAwareStreamWriter builder with BigQuery client being initialized by StreamWriter by default.

Parameters
Name	Description
`streamOrTableName`	`String` name of the stream that must follow "projects/[^/]+/datasets/[^/]+/tables/[^/]+/streams/[^/]+" or table name "projects/[^/]+/datasets/[^/]+/tables/[^/]+"
`tableSchema`	`TableSchema` The schema of the table when the stream was created, which is passed back through `WriteStream`
`toProtoConverter`	`ToProtoConverter<T>`

Returns
Type	Description
`Builder<T>`	Builder

Methods

append(Iterable<T> items)

public ApiFuture<AppendRowsResponse> append(Iterable<T> items)

Writes a collection that contains objects to the BigQuery table by first converting the data to Protobuf messages, then using StreamWriter's append() to write the data at current end of stream. If there is a schema update, the current StreamWriter is closed. A new StreamWriter is created with the updated TableSchema.

Parameter
Name	Description
`items`	`Iterable<T>` The array that contains objects to be written

Returns
Type	Description
`ApiFuture<AppendRowsResponse>`	ApiFuture<AppendRowsResponse> returns an AppendRowsResponse message wrapped in an ApiFuture

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`
`DescriptorValidationException`

append(Iterable<T> items, long offset)

public ApiFuture<AppendRowsResponse> append(Iterable<T> items, long offset)

Writes a collection that contains objects to the BigQuery table by first converting the data to Protobuf messages, then using StreamWriter's append() to write the data at the specified offset. If there is a schema update, the current StreamWriter is closed. A new StreamWriter is created with the updated TableSchema.

Parameters
Name	Description
`items`	`Iterable<T>` The collection that contains objects to be written
`offset`	`long` Offset for deduplication

Returns
Type	Description
`ApiFuture<AppendRowsResponse>`	ApiFuture<AppendRowsResponse> returns an AppendRowsResponse message wrapped in an ApiFuture

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`
`DescriptorValidationException`

close()

public void close()

Closes the underlying StreamWriter.

getDescriptor()

public Descriptors.Descriptor getDescriptor()

Gets current descriptor

Returns
Type	Description
`Descriptor`	Descriptor

getInflightWaitSeconds()

public long getInflightWaitSeconds()

Returns the wait of a request in Client side before sending to the Server. Request could wait in Client because it reached the client side inflight request limit (adjustable when constructing the Writer). The value is the wait time for the last sent request. A constant high wait value indicates a need for more throughput, you can create a new Stream for to increase the throughput in exclusive stream case, or create a new Writer in the default stream case.

Returns
Type	Description
`long`

getLocation()

public String getLocation()

Gets the location of the destination

Returns
Type	Description
`String`	Descriptor

getMissingValueInterpretationMap()

public Map<String,AppendRowsRequest.MissingValueInterpretation> getMissingValueInterpretationMap()

Returns
Type	Description
`Map<String,MissingValueInterpretation>`	the missing value interpretation map used for the writer.

getStreamName()

public String getStreamName()

Returns
Type	Description
`String`	The name of the write stream associated with this writer.

getWriterId()

public String getWriterId()

Returns
Type	Description
`String`	A unique Id for this writer.

isClosed()

public boolean isClosed()

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`	if a writer can no longer be used for writing. It is due to either the SchemaAwareStreamWriter is explicitly closed or the underlying connection is broken when connection pool is not used. Client should recreate SchemaAwareStreamWriter in this case.

isUserClosed()

public boolean isUserClosed()

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`	if user explicitly closed the writer.

setMissingValueInterpretationMap(Map<String,AppendRowsRequest.MissingValueInterpretation> missingValueInterpretationMap)

public void setMissingValueInterpretationMap(Map<String,AppendRowsRequest.MissingValueInterpretation> missingValueInterpretationMap)

Sets the missing value interpretation map for the SchemaAwareStreamWriter. The input missingValueInterpretationMap is used for all append requests unless otherwise changed.

Parameter
Name	Description
`missingValueInterpretationMap`	`Map<String,MissingValueInterpretation>` the missing value interpretation map used by the SchemaAwareStreamWriter.
