UpdateDatabaseDdlRequest

Enqueues the given DDL statements to be applied, in order but not necessarily all at once, to the database schema at some point (or points) in the future. The server checks that the statements are executable (syntactically valid, name tables that exist, etc.) before enqueueing them, but they may still fail upon later execution (e.g., if a statement from another batch of statements is applied first and it conflicts in some way, or if there is some data-related problem like a NULL value in a column to which NOT NULL would be added). If a statement fails, all subsequent statements in the batch are automatically cancelled.

Each batch of statements is assigned a name which can be used with the Operations][google.longrunning.Operations] API to monitor progress. See the operation_id][google.spanner.admin.database.v1.UpdateDatabaseDdlRequest.operation_id] field for more details.

InstanceAdminAsyncClient

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.

Wrapper for generating and processing read / query batches.

Database

Representation of a Cloud Spanner Database.

We can use a Database to:

create the database
reload the database
update the database
drop the database

Inside the context manager, checks out a session from the database, creates mutation groups from it, making the groups available.

Caller must not use the object to perform API requests outside the scope of the context manager.

SnapshotCheckout

Context manager for using a snapshot from a database.

Inside the context manager, checks out a session from the database, creates a snapshot from it, making the snapshot available.

KeyRange

Identify range of table rows via start / end points.

Specify either a start_open or start_closed key, or defaults to start_closed = []. Specify either an end_open or end_closed key, or defaults to end_closed = []. However, at least one key has to be specified. If no keys are specified, ValueError is raised.

KeySet

Identify table rows via keys / ranges.

AbstractSessionPool

Specifies required API for concrete session pool implementations.

BurstyPool

Concrete session pool implementation:

"Pings" existing sessions via session.exists before returning them.
Creates a new session, rather than blocking, when get is called on an empty pool.
Discards the returned session, rather than blocking, when put is called on a full pool.

FixedSizePool

Concrete session pool implementation:

Pre-allocates / creates a fixed number of sessions.
"Pings" existing sessions via session.exists before returning sessions that have not been used for more than 55 minutes and replaces expired sessions.
Blocks, with a timeout, when get is called on an empty pool. Raises after timing out.
Raises when put is called on a full pool. That error is never expected in normal practice, as users should be calling get followed by put whenever in need of a session.

PingingPool

Concrete session pool implementation:

Pre-allocates / creates a fixed number of sessions.
Sessions are used in "round-robin" order (LRU first).
"Pings" existing sessions in the background after a specified interval via an API call (session.ping()).
Blocks, with a timeout, when get is called on an empty pool. Raises after timing out.
Raises when put is called on a full pool. That error is never expected in normal practice, as users should be calling get followed by put whenever in need of a session.

The application is responsible for calling ping at appropriate times, e.g. from a background thread.

SessionCheckout

Context manager: hold session checked out from a pool.

TransactionPingingPool

Concrete session pool implementation:

Deprecated: TransactionPingingPool no longer begins a transaction for each of its sessions at startup. Hence the TransactionPingingPool is same as PingingPool and maybe removed in the future.

In addition to the features of PingingPool, this class creates and begins a transaction for each of its sessions at startup.

When a session is returned to the pool, if its transaction has been committed or rolled back, the pool creates a new transaction for the session and pushes the transaction onto a separate queue of "transactions to begin." The application is responsible for flushing this queue as appropriate via the pool's begin_pending_transactions method.

This class thinly wraps an initial ListSessionsResponse object, and provides an __aiter__ method to iterate through its sessions field.

If there are more pages, the __aiter__ method will make additional ListSessions requests and continue to iterate through the sessions field on the corresponding responses.

All the usual ListSessionsResponse attributes are available on the pager. If multiple requests are made, only the most recent response is retained, and thus used for attribute lookup.

ExecuteBatchDmlRequest

The request for ExecuteBatchDml][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.ExecuteBatchDml].

Statement

A single DML statement.

ParamTypesEntry

The abstract base class for a message.

ExecuteBatchDmlResponse

The response for ExecuteBatchDml][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.ExecuteBatchDml]. Contains a list of ResultSet][google.spanner.v1.ResultSet] messages, one for each DML statement that has successfully executed, in the same order as the statements in the request. If a statement fails, the status in the response body identifies the cause of the failure.

To check for DML statements that failed, use the following approach:

Check the status in the response message. The google.rpc.Code][google.rpc.Code] enum value OK indicates that all statements were executed successfully.
If the status was not OK, check the number of result sets in the response. If the response contains N ResultSet][google.spanner.v1.ResultSet] messages, then statement N+1 in the request failed.

Example 1:

Request: 5 DML statements, all executed successfully.
Response: 5 ResultSet][google.spanner.v1.ResultSet] messages, with the status OK.

Example 2:

Request: 5 DML statements. The third statement has a syntax error.
Response: 2 ResultSet][google.spanner.v1.ResultSet] messages, and a syntax error (INVALID_ARGUMENT) status. The number of ResultSet][google.spanner.v1.ResultSet] messages indicates that the third statement failed, and the fourth and fifth statements were not executed.

QueryOptions

Query optimizer configuration.

GetSessionRequest

The request for GetSession][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.GetSession].

KeyRange

KeyRange represents a range of rows in a table or index.

A range has a start key and an end key. These keys can be open or closed, indicating if the range includes rows with that key.

Keys are represented by lists, where the ith value in the list corresponds to the ith component of the table or index primary key. Individual values are encoded as described here][google.spanner.v1.TypeCode].

For example, consider the following table definition:

CREATE TABLE UserEvents (
  UserName STRING(MAX),
  EventDate STRING(10)
) PRIMARY KEY(UserName, EventDate);

The following keys name rows in this table:

["Bob", "2014-09-23"]
["Alfred", "2015-06-12"]

Since the UserEvents table's PRIMARY KEY clause names two columns, each UserEvents key has two elements; the first is the UserName, and the second is the EventDate.

Key ranges with multiple components are interpreted lexicographically by component using the table or index key's declared sort order. For example, the following range returns all events for user "Bob" that occurred in the year 2015:

"start_closed": ["Bob", "2015-01-01"]
"end_closed": ["Bob", "2015-12-31"]

Start and end keys can omit trailing key components. This affects the inclusion and exclusion of rows that exactly match the provided key components: if the key is closed, then rows that exactly match the provided components are included; if the key is open, then rows that exactly match are not included.

For example, the following range includes all events for "Bob" that occurred during and after the year 2000:

"start_closed": ["Bob", "2000-01-01"]
"end_closed": ["Bob"]

The next example retrieves all events for "Bob":

"start_closed": ["Bob"]
"end_closed": ["Bob"]

To retrieve events before the year 2000:

"start_closed": ["Bob"]
"end_open": ["Bob", "2000-01-01"]

The following range includes all rows in the table:

"start_closed": []
"end_closed": []

This range returns all users whose UserName begins with any character from A to C:

"start_closed": ["A"]
"end_open": ["D"]

This range returns all users whose UserName begins with B:

"start_closed": ["B"]
"end_open": ["C"]

Key ranges honor column sort order. For example, suppose a table is defined as follows:

CREATE TABLE DescendingSortedTable {
  Key INT64,
  ...
) PRIMARY KEY(Key DESC);

The following range retrieves all rows with key values between 1 and 100 inclusive:

"start_closed": ["100"]
"end_closed": ["1"]

Note that 100 is passed as the start, and 1 is passed as the end, because Key is a descending column in the schema.

KeySet

KeySet defines a collection of Cloud Spanner keys and/or key ranges. All the keys are expected to be in the same table or index. The keys need not be sorted in any particular way.

If the same key is specified multiple times in the set (for example if two ranges, two keys, or a key and a range overlap), Cloud Spanner behaves as if the key were only specified once.

LockHint

A lock hint mechanism for reads done within a transaction.

    LOCK_HINT_UNSPECIFIED is equivalent to LOCK_HINT_SHARED.
LOCK_HINT_SHARED (1):
    Acquire shared locks.

    By default when you perform a read as part of a read-write
    transaction, Spanner acquires shared read locks, which
    allows other reads to still access the data until your
    transaction is ready to commit. When your transaction is
    committing and writes are being applied, the transaction
    attempts to upgrade to an exclusive lock for any data you
    are writing. For more information about locks, see `Lock
    modes <https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/introspection/lock-statistics#explain-lock-modes>`__.
LOCK_HINT_EXCLUSIVE (2):
    Acquire exclusive locks.

    Requesting exclusive locks is beneficial if you observe high
    write contention, which means you notice that multiple
    transactions are concurrently trying to read and write to
    the same data, resulting in a large number of aborts. This
    problem occurs when two transactions initially acquire
    shared locks and then both try to upgrade to exclusive locks
    at the same time. In this situation both transactions are
    waiting for the other to give up their lock, resulting in a
    deadlocked situation. Spanner is able to detect this
    occurring and force one of the transactions to abort.
    However, this is a slow and expensive operation and results
    in lower performance. In this case it makes sense to acquire
    exclusive locks at the start of the transaction because then
    when multiple transactions try to act on the same data, they
    automatically get serialized. Each transaction waits its
    turn to acquire the lock and avoids getting into deadlock
    situations.

    Because the exclusive lock hint is just a hint, it should
    not be considered equivalent to a mutex. In other words, you
    should not use Spanner exclusive locks as a mutual exclusion
    mechanism for the execution of code outside of Spanner.

    **Note:** Request exclusive locks judiciously because they
    block others from reading that data for the entire
    transaction, rather than just when the writes are being
    performed. Unless you observe high write contention, you
    should use the default of shared read locks so you don't
    prematurely block other clients from reading the data that
    you're writing to.

OrderBy

An option to control the order in which rows are returned from a read.

    ORDER_BY_UNSPECIFIED is equivalent to ORDER_BY_PRIMARY_KEY.
ORDER_BY_PRIMARY_KEY (1):
    Read rows are returned in primary key order.

    In the event that this option is used in conjunction with
    the `partition_token` field, the API will return an
    `INVALID_ARGUMENT` error.
ORDER_BY_NO_ORDER (2):
    Read rows are returned in any order.

RequestOptions

Common request options for various APIs.

Priority

The relative priority for requests. Note that priority is not applicable for BeginTransaction][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.BeginTransaction].

The priority acts as a hint to the Cloud Spanner scheduler and does not guarantee priority or order of execution. For example:

Some parts of a write operation always execute at PRIORITY_HIGH, regardless of the specified priority. This may cause you to see an increase in high priority workload even when executing a low priority request. This can also potentially cause a priority inversion where a lower priority request will be fulfilled ahead of a higher priority request.
If a transaction contains multiple operations with different priorities, Cloud Spanner does not guarantee to process the higher priority operations first. There may be other constraints to satisfy, such as order of operations.

ResultSet

Results from Read][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.Read] or ExecuteSql][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.ExecuteSql].

ResultSetMetadata

Field

Transaction

A transaction.

TransactionOptions

Transactions:

Each session can have at most one active transaction at a time (note that standalone reads and queries use a transaction internally and do count towards the one transaction limit). After the active transaction is completed, the session can immediately be re-used for the next transaction. It is not necessary to create a new session for each transaction.

Transaction modes:

Cloud Spanner supports three transaction modes:

Locking read-write. This type of transaction is the only way to write data into Cloud Spanner. These transactions rely on pessimistic locking and, if necessary, two-phase commit. Locking read-write transactions may abort, requiring the application to retry.
Snapshot read-only. Snapshot read-only transactions provide guaranteed consistency across several reads, but do not allow writes. Snapshot read-only transactions can be configured to read at timestamps in the past, or configured to perform a strong read (where Spanner will select a timestamp such that the read is guaranteed to see the effects of all transactions that have committed before the start of the read). Snapshot read-only transactions do not need to be committed.

Queries on change streams must be performed with the snapshot read-only transaction mode, specifying a strong read. Please see TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.strong][google.spanner.v1.TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.strong] for more details.
Partitioned DML. This type of transaction is used to execute a single Partitioned DML statement. Partitioned DML partitions the key space and runs the DML statement over each partition in parallel using separate, internal transactions that commit independently. Partitioned DML transactions do not need to be committed.

For transactions that only read, snapshot read-only transactions provide simpler semantics and are almost always faster. In particular, read-only transactions do not take locks, so they do not conflict with read-write transactions. As a consequence of not taking locks, they also do not abort, so retry loops are not needed.

Transactions may only read-write data in a single database. They may, however, read-write data in different tables within that database.

Locking read-write transactions:

Locking transactions may be used to atomically read-modify-write data anywhere in a database. This type of transaction is externally consistent.

Clients should attempt to minimize the amount of time a transaction is active. Faster transactions commit with higher probability and cause less contention. Cloud Spanner attempts to keep read locks active as long as the transaction continues to do reads, and the transaction has not been terminated by Commit][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.Commit] or Rollback][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.Rollback]. Long periods of inactivity at the client may cause Cloud Spanner to release a transaction's locks and abort it.

Conceptually, a read-write transaction consists of zero or more reads or SQL statements followed by Commit][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.Commit]. At any time before Commit][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.Commit], the client can send a Rollback][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.Rollback] request to abort the transaction.

Semantics:

Cloud Spanner can commit the transaction if all read locks it acquired are still valid at commit time, and it is able to acquire write locks for all writes. Cloud Spanner can abort the transaction for any reason. If a commit attempt returns ABORTED, Cloud Spanner guarantees that the transaction has not modified any user data in Cloud Spanner.

Unless the transaction commits, Cloud Spanner makes no guarantees about how long the transaction's locks were held for. It is an error to use Cloud Spanner locks for any sort of mutual exclusion other than between Cloud Spanner transactions themselves.

Retrying aborted transactions:

When a transaction aborts, the application can choose to retry the whole transaction again. To maximize the chances of successfully committing the retry, the client should execute the retry in the same session as the original attempt. The original session's lock priority increases with each consecutive abort, meaning that each attempt has a slightly better chance of success than the previous.

Under some circumstances (for example, many transactions attempting to modify the same row(s)), a transaction can abort many times in a short period before successfully committing. Thus, it is not a good idea to cap the number of retries a transaction can attempt; instead, it is better to limit the total amount of time spent retrying.

Idle transactions:

A transaction is considered idle if it has no outstanding reads or SQL queries and has not started a read or SQL query within the last 10 seconds. Idle transactions can be aborted by Cloud Spanner so that they don't hold on to locks indefinitely. If an idle transaction is aborted, the commit will fail with error ABORTED.

If this behavior is undesirable, periodically executing a simple SQL query in the transaction (for example, SELECT 1) prevents the transaction from becoming idle.

Snapshot read-only transactions:

Snapshot read-only transactions provides a simpler method than locking read-write transactions for doing several consistent reads. However, this type of transaction does not support writes.

Snapshot transactions do not take locks. Instead, they work by choosing a Cloud Spanner timestamp, then executing all reads at that timestamp. Since they do not acquire locks, they do not block concurrent read-write transactions.

Unlike locking read-write transactions, snapshot read-only transactions never abort. They can fail if the chosen read timestamp is garbage collected; however, the default garbage collection policy is generous enough that most applications do not need to worry about this in practice.

Snapshot read-only transactions do not need to call Commit][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.Commit] or Rollback][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.Rollback] (and in fact are not permitted to do so).

To execute a snapshot transaction, the client specifies a timestamp bound, which tells Cloud Spanner how to choose a read timestamp.

The types of timestamp bound are:

Strong (the default).
Bounded staleness.
Exact staleness.

If the Cloud Spanner database to be read is geographically distributed, stale read-only transactions can execute more quickly than strong or read-write transactions, because they are able to execute far from the leader replica.

Each type of timestamp bound is discussed in detail below.

Strong: Strong reads are guaranteed to see the effects of all transactions that have committed before the start of the read. Furthermore, all rows yielded by a single read are consistent with each other -- if any part of the read observes a transaction, all parts of the read see the transaction.

Strong reads are not repeatable: two consecutive strong read-only transactions might return inconsistent results if there are concurrent writes. If consistency across reads is required, the reads should be executed within a transaction or at an exact read timestamp.

Queries on change streams (see below for more details) must also specify the strong read timestamp bound.

See TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.strong][google.spanner.v1.TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.strong].

Exact staleness:

These timestamp bounds execute reads at a user-specified timestamp. Reads at a timestamp are guaranteed to see a consistent prefix of the global transaction history: they observe modifications done by all transactions with a commit timestamp less than or equal to the read timestamp, and observe none of the modifications done by transactions with a larger commit timestamp. They will block until all conflicting transactions that may be assigned commit timestamps <= the read timestamp have finished.

The timestamp can either be expressed as an absolute Cloud Spanner commit timestamp or a staleness relative to the current time.

These modes do not require a "negotiation phase" to pick a timestamp. As a result, they execute slightly faster than the equivalent boundedly stale concurrency modes. On the other hand, boundedly stale reads usually return fresher results.

See TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.read_timestamp][google.spanner.v1.TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.read_timestamp] and TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.exact_staleness][google.spanner.v1.TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.exact_staleness].

Bounded staleness:

Bounded staleness modes allow Cloud Spanner to pick the read timestamp, subject to a user-provided staleness bound. Cloud Spanner chooses the newest timestamp within the staleness bound that allows execution of the reads at the closest available replica without blocking.

All rows yielded are consistent with each other -- if any part of the read observes a transaction, all parts of the read see the transaction. Boundedly stale reads are not repeatable: two stale reads, even if they use the same staleness bound, can execute at different timestamps and thus return inconsistent results.

Boundedly stale reads execute in two phases: the first phase negotiates a timestamp among all replicas needed to serve the read. In the second phase, reads are executed at the negotiated timestamp.

As a result of the two phase execution, bounded staleness reads are usually a little slower than comparable exact staleness reads. However, they are typically able to return fresher results, and are more likely to execute at the closest replica.

Because the timestamp negotiation requires up-front knowledge of which rows will be read, it can only be used with single-use read-only transactions.

See TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.max_staleness][google.spanner.v1.TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.max_staleness] and TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.min_read_timestamp][google.spanner.v1.TransactionOptions.ReadOnly.min_read_timestamp].

Old read timestamps and garbage collection:

Cloud Spanner continuously garbage collects deleted and overwritten data in the background to reclaim storage space. This process is known as "version GC". By default, version GC reclaims versions after they are one hour old. Because of this, Cloud Spanner cannot perform reads at read timestamps more than one hour in the past. This restriction also applies to in-progress reads and/or SQL queries whose timestamp become too old while executing. Reads and SQL queries with too-old read timestamps fail with the error FAILED_PRECONDITION.

You can configure and extend the VERSION_RETENTION_PERIOD of a database up to a period as long as one week, which allows Cloud Spanner to perform reads up to one week in the past.

Querying change Streams:

A Change Stream is a schema object that can be configured to watch data changes on the entire database, a set of tables, or a set of columns in a database.

When a change stream is created, Spanner automatically defines a corresponding SQL Table-Valued Function (TVF) that can be used to query the change records in the associated change stream using the ExecuteStreamingSql API. The name of the TVF for a change stream is generated from the name of the change stream: READ_<change_stream_name>.

All queries on change stream TVFs must be executed using the ExecuteStreamingSql API with a single-use read-only transaction with a strong read-only timestamp_bound. The change stream TVF allows users to specify the start_timestamp and end_timestamp for the time range of interest. All change records within the retention period is accessible using the strong read-only timestamp_bound. All other TransactionOptions are invalid for change stream queries.

In addition, if TransactionOptions.read_only.return_read_timestamp is set to true, a special value of 2^63 - 2 will be returned in the Transaction][google.spanner.v1.Transaction] message that describes the transaction, instead of a valid read timestamp. This special value should be discarded and not used for any subsequent queries.

Please see https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/change-streams for more details on how to query the change stream TVFs.

Partitioned DML transactions:

Partitioned DML transactions are used to execute DML statements with a different execution strategy that provides different, and often better, scalability properties for large, table-wide operations than DML in a ReadWrite transaction. Smaller scoped statements, such as an OLTP workload, should prefer using ReadWrite transactions.

Partitioned DML partitions the keyspace and runs the DML statement on each partition in separate, internal transactions. These transactions commit automatically when complete, and run independently from one another.

To reduce lock contention, this execution strategy only acquires read locks on rows that match the WHERE clause of the statement. Additionally, the smaller per-partition transactions hold locks for less time.

That said, Partitioned DML is not a drop-in replacement for standard DML used in ReadWrite transactions.

The DML statement must be fully-partitionable. Specifically, the statement must be expressible as the union of many statements which each access only a single row of the table.
The statement is not applied atomically to all rows of the table. Rather, the statement is applied atomically to partitions of the table, in independent transactions. Secondary index rows are updated atomically with the base table rows.
Partitioned DML does not guarantee exactly-once execution semantics against a partition. The statement will be applied at least once to each partition. It is strongly recommended that the DML statement should be idempotent to avoid unexpected results. For instance, it is potentially dangerous to run a statement such as UPDATE table SET column = column + 1 as it could be run multiple times against some rows.
The partitions are committed automatically - there is no support for Commit or Rollback. If the call returns an error, or if the client issuing the ExecuteSql call dies, it is possible that some rows had the statement executed on them successfully. It is also possible that statement was never executed against other rows.
Partitioned DML transactions may only contain the execution of a single DML statement via ExecuteSql or ExecuteStreamingSql.
If any error is encountered during the execution of the partitioned DML operation (for instance, a UNIQUE INDEX violation, division by zero, or a value that cannot be stored due to schema constraints), then the operation is stopped at that point and an error is returned. It is possible that at this point, some partitions have been committed (or even committed multiple times), and other partitions have not been run at all.

Given the above, Partitioned DML is good fit for large, database-wide, operations that are idempotent, such as deleting old rows from a very large table.

Type

Type indicates the type of a Cloud Spanner value, as might be stored in a table cell or returned from an SQL query.

TypeAnnotationCode

TypeAnnotationCode is used as a part of Type][google.spanner.v1.Type] to disambiguate SQL types that should be used for a given Cloud Spanner value. Disambiguation is needed because the same Cloud Spanner type can be mapped to different SQL types depending on SQL dialect. TypeAnnotationCode doesn't affect the way value is serialized.

TypeCode

TypeCode is used as part of Type][google.spanner.v1.Type] to indicate the type of a Cloud Spanner value.

Each legal value of a type can be encoded to or decoded from a JSON value, using the encodings described below. All Cloud Spanner values can be null, regardless of type; null\ s are always encoded as a JSON null.

    `allow_commit_timestamp=true`, the placeholder string
    `"spanner.commit_timestamp()"` can be used to instruct the
    system to insert the commit timestamp associated with the
    transaction commit.
DATE (5):
    Encoded as `string` in RFC 3339 date format.
STRING (6):
    Encoded as `string`.
BYTES (7):
    Encoded as a base64-encoded `string`, as described in RFC
    4648, section 4.
ARRAY (8):
    Encoded as `list`, where the list elements are represented
    according to
    `array_element_type][google.spanner.v1.Type.array_element_type]`.
STRUCT (9):
    Encoded as `list`, where list element `i` is represented
    according to
    [struct_type.fields[i]][google.spanner.v1.StructType.fields].
NUMERIC (10):
    Encoded as `string`, in decimal format or scientific
    notation format. Decimal format: `[+-]Digits[.[Digits]]`
    or `[+-][Digits].Digits`

    Scientific notation:
    `[+-]Digits[.[Digits]][ExponentIndicator[+-]Digits]` or
    `[+-][Digits].Digits[ExponentIndicator[+-]Digits]`
    (ExponentIndicator is `"e"` or `"E"`)
JSON (11):
    Encoded as a JSON-formatted `string` as described in RFC
    7159. The following rules are applied when parsing JSON
    input:

    -  Whitespace characters are not preserved.
    -  If a JSON object has duplicate keys, only the first key
       is preserved.
    -  Members of a JSON object are not guaranteed to have their
       order preserved.
    -  JSON array elements will have their order preserved.
PROTO (13):
    Encoded as a base64-encoded `string`, as described in RFC
    4648, section 4.
ENUM (14):
    Encoded as `string`, in decimal format.
INTERVAL (16):
    Encoded as `string`, in `ISO8601` duration format -
    `P[n]Y[n]M[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n[.fraction]]S` where `n` is an
    integer. For example, `P1Y2M3DT4H5M6.5S` represents time
    duration of 1 year, 2 months, 3 days, 4 hours, 5 minutes,
    and 6.5 seconds.
