Instance

User-friendly container for Google Cloud Bigtable Instance.

class google.cloud.bigtable.instance.Instance(instance_id, client, display_name=None, instance_type=None, labels=None, _state=None)

Bases: object

Representation of a Google Cloud Bigtable Instance.

We can use an Instance to:

reload() itself
create() itself
update() itself
delete() itself

NOTE: For now, we leave out the default_storage_type (an enum) which if not sent will end up as data_v2_pb2.STORAGE_SSD.

Parameters
- instance_id (str) – The ID of the instance.
- client (Client) – The client that owns the instance. Provides authorization and a project ID.
- display_name (str) – (Optional) The display name for the instance in the Cloud Console UI. (Must be between 4 and 30 characters.) If this value is not set in the constructor, will fall back to the instance ID.
- instance_type (int) – (Optional) The type of the instance. Possible values are represented by the following constants: google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.Type.PRODUCTION. google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.Type.DEVELOPMENT, Defaults to google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.Type.UNSPECIFIED.
- labels (dict) – (Optional) Labels are a flexible and lightweight mechanism for organizing cloud resources into groups that reflect a customer’s organizational needs and deployment strategies. They can be used to filter resources and aggregate metrics. Label keys must be between 1 and 63 characters long. Maximum 64 labels can be associated with a given resource. Label values must be between 0 and 63 characters long. Keys and values must both be under 128 bytes.
- _state (int) – (OutputOnly) The current state of the instance. Possible values are represented by the following constants: google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.State.STATE_NOT_KNOWN. google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.State.READY. google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.State.CREATING.

Marks an instance and all of its tables for permanent deletion in 7 days.

Immediately upon completion of the request:

Billing will cease for all of the instance’s reserved resources.
The instance’s delete_time field will be set 7 days in the future.

Soon afterward:

All tables within the instance will become unavailable.

At the instance’s delete_time:

The instance and all of its tables will immediately and irrevocably disappear from the API, and their data will be permanently deleted.

Return type

bool
Returns

True if the table exists, else False.

classmethod from_pb(instance_pb, client)

    instance = client.instance(INSTANCE_ID)

    name = instance.name
    instance_pb = instance_pb2.Instance(
        name=name, display_name=INSTANCE_ID, type=PRODUCTION, labels=LABELS
    )

    instance2 = instance.from_pb(instance_pb, client)

Parameters
