A client for Cloud Datastore \u2013 A highly-scalable NoSQL database for web and mobile applications.
Here's a simple usage example for using google-cloud from App/Compute Engine. This example shows how to create a Datastore entity. For the complete source code see CreateEntity.java.
Datastore datastore = DatastoreOptions.getDefaultInstance().getService();
KeyFactory keyFactory = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("keyKind");
Key key = keyFactory.newKey("keyName");
Entity entity = Entity.newBuilder(key)
.set("name", "John Doe")
.set("age", 30)
.set("access_time", Timestamp.now())
.build();
datastore.put(entity);
This second example shows how to get and update a Datastore entity if it exists. For the complete source code see UpdateEntity.java.
Datastore datastore = DatastoreOptions.getDefaultInstance().getService();
KeyFactory keyFactory = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("keyKind");
Key key = keyFactory.newKey("keyName");
Entity entity = datastore.get(key);
if (entity != null) {
System.out.println("Updating access_time for " + entity.getString("name"));
entity = Entity.newBuilder(entity)
.set("access_time", Timestamp.now())
.build();
datastore.update(entity);
}
When using google-cloud from outside of App/Compute Engine, you have to specify a project ID and provide credentials. See Also: Google Cloud Datastore
Classes
BaseDatastoreBatchWriter
Base class for DatastoreBatchWriter.
BaseEntity<K>
A base class for entities (key and properties). An entity is a Google Cloud Datastore persistent data object. An entity holds one or more properties, represented by a name (as String) and a value (as com.google.cloud.datastore.Value), and may be associated with a key. For a list of possible values see ValueType. See Also: Google Cloud Datastore Entities, Properties, and Keys
BaseEntity.Builder<K,B>
BaseKey
Base class for keys.
BaseKey.Builder<B>
Base class for key builders.

FullEntity<K>
A full entity is a BaseEntity that holds all the properties associated with a Datastore entity (as opposed to ProjectionEntity).
FullEntity.Builder<K>
GqlQuery<V>
A Google Cloud Datastore GQL query.
A usage example:
When the type of the results is known the preferred usage would be:
Query<Entity> query =
Query.newGqlQueryBuilder(Query.ResultType.ENTITY, "select * from kind").build();
QueryResults<Entity> results = datastore.run(query);
while (results.hasNext()) {
Entity entity = results.next();
...
}
When the type of the results is unknown you can use this approach:
Query query = Query.newGqlQueryBuilder("select __key__ from kind").build();
QueryResults results = datastore.run(query);
if (Key.class.isAssignableFrom(results.getResultClass())) {
QueryResults<Key> keys = (QueryResults<Key>) results;
while (keys.hasNext()) {
Key key = keys.next();
...
}
}

QueryResults<Entity> results = datastore.run(query);
while (results.hasNext()) {
Entity entity = results.next();
...
}
A simple key-only query of all entities for a specific kind
Query<Key> keyOnlyQuery = Query.newKeyQueryBuilder().setKind(KIND1).build();
QueryResults<Key> results = datastore.run(keyOnlyQuery);
...
A less trivial example of a projection query that returns the first 10 results of "age" and "name" properties (sorted and grouped by "age") with an age greater than 18
Query<ProjectionEntity> query = Query.newProjectionEntityQueryBuilder()
.setKind(kind)
.setProjection(Projection.property("age"), Projection.first("name"))

Base class for all Google Cloud Datastore value types. All values must be associated with a non-null content (except NullValue). All values are immutable (including their content). To edit (a copy) use #toBuilder(). Unsupported value (deprecated or unrecognized) would be represented by RawValue.
Interfaces
Batch
An interface to represent a batch of write operations. Any write operation that is applied on a batch will only be sent to the Datastore upon #submit. A usage example:
Entity entity1 = datastore.get(key1);
Batch batch = datastore.newBatch();
Entity entity2 = Entity.newBuilder(key2).set("name", "John").build();
entity1 = Entity.newBuilder(entity1).clear().setNull("bla").build();
Entity entity3 = Entity.newBuilder(key3).set("title", "title").build();
batch.update(entity1);
batch.add(entity2, entity3);
batch.submit();
Batch.Response
Datastore
An interface for Google Cloud Datastore.
Datastore.TransactionCallable<T>
A callback for running with a transactional com.google.cloud.datastore.DatastoreReaderWriter. The associated transaction will be committed
after a successful return from the run method. Any propagated exception will cause the
transaction to be rolled-back.
DatastoreBatchWriter
An interface to represent a batch of write operations. All write operation for a batch writer will be applied to the Datastore in one RPC call.
DatastoreFactory
An interface for Datastore factories.
DatastoreReader
An interface to represent Google Cloud Datastore read operations.
DatastoreReaderWriter
An interface that combines both Google Cloud Datastore read and write operations.
DatastoreWriter
An interface to represent Google Cloud Datastore write operations.
QueryResults<V>
The result of a Google Cloud Datastore query submission. When the result is not typed it is
possible to cast it to its appropriate type according to the #getResultClass value.
Results are loaded lazily in batches, where batch size is set by Cloud Datastore. As a result, it
is possible to get a DatastoreException upon hasNext or next calls.
StructuredQuery.Builder<V>
Interface for StructuredQuery builders.
Transaction
A Google cloud datastore transaction. Similar to Batch any write operation that is
applied on a transaction will only be sent to the Datastore upon #commit. A call to
#rollback will invalidate the transaction and discard the changes. Any read operation
that is done by a transaction will be part of it and therefore a commit is guaranteed to
fail if an entity was modified outside of the transaction after it was read. Write operation on
this transaction will not be reflected by read operation (as the changes are only sent to the
Datastore upon commit. A usage example:
Transaction transaction = datastore.newTransaction();
try {
Entity entity = transaction.get(key);
if (!entity.contains("last_name") || entity.isNull("last_name")) {
String[] name = entity.getString("name").split(" ");
entity = Entity.newBuilder(entity)
.remove("name")
.set("first_name", name[0])
.set("last_name", name[1])
.build();
transaction.update(entity);
transaction.commit();
}
} finally {
if (transaction.isActive()) {
transaction.rollback();
}
}

Transaction.Response
ValueBuilder<V,P,B>
A common interface for Value builders.
Enums
ValueType
The type of a Datastore property. See Also: Google Cloud Datastore types

DatastoreException
Datastore service exception. See Also: Google Cloud Datastore error codes
