Class InstanceAdminClient (1.10.0) 

InstanceAdminClient(

Cloud Spanner Instance Admin API

The Cloud Spanner Instance Admin API can be used to create, delete, modify and list instances. Instances are dedicated Cloud Spanner serving and storage resources to be used by Cloud Spanner databases.

Each instance has a "configuration", which dictates where the serving resources for the Cloud Spanner instance are located (e.g., US-central, Europe). Configurations are created by Google based on resource availability.

Cloud Spanner billing is based on the instances that exist and their sizes. After an instance exists, there are no additional per-database or per-operation charges for use of the instance (though there may be additional network bandwidth charges). Instances offer isolation: problems with databases in one instance will not affect other instances. However, within an instance databases can affect each other. For example, if one database in an instance receives a lot of requests and consumes most of the instance resources, fewer resources are available for other databases in that instance, and their performance may suffer.

Methods

InstanceAdminClient

InstanceAdminClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

Constructor.

Parameters
NameDescription
channel grpc.Channel

DEPRECATED. A Channel instance through which to make calls. This argument is mutually exclusive with credentials; providing both will raise an exception.

credentials google.auth.credentials.Credentials

The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify this application to the service. If none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment. This argument is mutually exclusive with providing a transport instance to transport; doing so will raise an exception.

client_config dict

DEPRECATED. A dictionary of call options for each method. If not specified, the default configuration is used.

client_info google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo

The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If None, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.

client_options Union[dict, google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions]

Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint should be set through client_options.

create_instance

create_instance(parent, instance_id, instance, retry=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, metadata=None)

Creates an instance and begins preparing it to begin serving. The returned long-running operation can be used to track the progress of preparing the new instance. The instance name is assigned by the caller. If the named instance already exists, CreateInstance returns ALREADY_EXISTS.

Immediately upon completion of this request:

  • The instance is readable via the API, with all requested attributes but no allocated resources. Its state is CREATING.

Until completion of the returned operation:

  • Cancelling the operation renders the instance immediately unreadable via the API.
  • The instance can be deleted.
  • All other attempts to modify the instance are rejected.

Upon completion of the returned operation:

  • Billing for all successfully-allocated resources begins (some types may have lower than the requested levels).
  • Databases can be created in the instance.
  • The instance's allocated resource levels are readable via the API.
  • The instance's state becomes READY.

The returned long-running operation will have a name of the format <instance_name>/operations/<operation_id> and can be used to track creation of the instance. The metadata field type is CreateInstanceMetadata. The response field type is Instance, if successful.

update_instance

update_instance(instance, field_mask, retry=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, metadata=None)

Updates an instance, and begins allocating or releasing resources as requested. The returned long-running operation can be used to track the progress of updating the instance. If the named instance does not exist, returns NOT_FOUND.

Immediately upon completion of this request:

  • For resource types for which a decrease in the instance's allocation has been requested, billing is based on the newly-requested level.

Until completion of the returned operation:

  • Cancelling the operation sets its metadata's cancel_time, and begins restoring resources to their pre-request values. The operation is guaranteed to succeed at undoing all resource changes, after which point it terminates with a CANCELLED status.
  • All other attempts to modify the instance are rejected.
  • Reading the instance via the API continues to give the pre-request resource levels.

Upon completion of the returned operation:

  • Billing begins for all successfully-allocated resources (some types may have lower than the requested levels).
  • All newly-reserved resources are available for serving the instance's tables.
  • The instance's new resource levels are readable via the API.

The returned long-running operation will have a name of the format <instance_name>/operations/<operation_id> and can be used to track the instance modification. The metadata field type is UpdateInstanceMetadata. The response field type is Instance, if successful.

Authorization requires spanner.instances.update permission on resource name.

.. rubric:: Example

client = spanner_admin_instance_v1.InstanceAdminClient()

field_mask Union[dict, FieldMask]

Required. A mask specifying which fields in [][google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.UpdateInstanceRequest.instance] should be updated. The field mask must always be specified; this prevents any future fields in [][google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.Instance] from being erased accidentally by clients that do not know about them. If a dict is provided, it must be of the same form as the protobuf message FieldMask
