Class MutationsBatcher (2.21.0)

MutationsBatcher(
    table,
    flush_count=100,
    max_row_bytes=20971520,
    flush_interval=1,
    batch_completed_callback=None,
)

A MutationsBatcher is used in batch cases where the number of mutations is large or unknown. It will store DirectRow in memory until one of the size limits is reached, or an explicit call to flush() is performed. When a flush event occurs, the DirectRow in memory will be sent to Cloud Bigtable. Batching mutations is more efficient than sending individual request.

This class is not suited for usage in systems where each mutation must be guaranteed to be sent, since calling mutate may only result in an in-memory change. In a case of a system crash, any DirectRow remaining in memory will not necessarily be sent to the service, even after the completion of the mutate() method.

Note on thread safety: The same MutationBatcher cannot be shared by multiple end-user threads.

Parameters

NameDescription
table class

class:Table.

flush_count int

(Optional) Max number of rows to flush. If it reaches the max number of rows it calls finish_batch() to mutate the current row batch. Default is FLUSH_COUNT (1000 rows).

max_row_bytes int

(Optional) Max number of row mutations size to flush. If it reaches the max number of row mutations size it calls finish_batch() to mutate the current row batch. Default is MAX_ROW_BYTES (5 MB).

flush_interval float

(Optional) The interval (in seconds) between asynchronous flush. Default is 1 second.

batch_completed_callback Callable[list:[google.rpc.status_pb2.Status]] = None

(Optional) A callable for handling responses after the current batch is sent. The callable function expect a list of grpc Status.

Methods

__enter__

__enter__()

Starting the MutationsBatcher as a context manager

__exit__

__exit__(exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback)

Clean up resources. Flush and shutdown the ThreadPoolExecutor.

close

close()

Clean up resources. Flush and shutdown the ThreadPoolExecutor. Any errors will be raised.

Exceptions
TypeDescription
.batcherMutationsBatchError if there's any error in the mutations.

flush

flush()

Sends the current batch to Cloud Bigtable synchronously. For example:

.. literalinclude:: snippets_table.py :start-after: [START bigtable_api_batcher_flush] :end-before: [END bigtable_api_batcher_flush] :dedent: 4

Exceptions
TypeDescription
.batcherMutationsBatchError if there's any error in the mutations.

mutate

mutate(row)

Add a row to the batch. If the current batch meets one of the size limits, the batch is sent asynchronously.

For example:

.. literalinclude:: snippets_table.py :start-after: [START bigtable_api_batcher_mutate] :end-before: [END bigtable_api_batcher_mutate] :dedent: 4

Parameter
NameDescription
row class

DirectRow.

Exceptions
TypeDescription
Onof the following: * .table._BigtableRetryableError if any row returned a transient error. * RuntimeError if the number of responses doesn't match the number of rows that were retried

mutate_rows

mutate_rows(rows)

Add multiple rows to the batch. If the current batch meets one of the size limits, the batch is sent asynchronously.

For example:

.. literalinclude:: snippets_table.py :start-after: [START bigtable_api_batcher_mutate_rows] :end-before: [END bigtable_api_batcher_mutate_rows] :dedent: 4

Parameter
NameDescription
rows list:[DirectRow]

list:[DirectRow].

Exceptions
TypeDescription
Onof the following: * .table._BigtableRetryableError if any row returned a transient error. * RuntimeError if the number of responses doesn't match the number of rows that were retried
