Class Bucket (2.2.3)

public class Bucket extends BucketInfo

A Google cloud storage bucket.

Objects of this class are immutable. Operations that modify the bucket like #update return a new object. To get a Bucket object with the most recent information use #reload. Bucket adds a layer of service-related functionality over BucketInfo.

Methods

create(String blob, byte[] content, Bucket.BlobTargetOption[] options)

public Blob create(String blob, byte[] content, Bucket.BlobTargetOption[] options)

Creates a new blob in this bucket. Direct upload is used to upload content. For large content, Blob#writer(com.google.cloud.storage.Storage.BlobWriteOption...) is recommended as it uses resumable upload. MD5 and CRC32C hashes of content are computed and used for validating transferred data.

Example of creating a blob in the bucket from a byte array.


 String blobName = "my_blob_name";
 Blob blob = bucket.create(blobName, "Hello, World!".getBytes(UTF_8));
 
Parameters
Name Description
blob String

a blob name

content byte[]

the blob content

options BlobTargetOption[]

options for blob creation

Returns
Type Description
Blob

a complete blob information
