Cloud Talent Solution supports asynchronous batch operations, which allows you to put multiple API calls
into a single HTTP request. The returned response type is google.longrunning.operation. The
detailed status of the batch operation can be retrieved by calling the GetOperation method using the
name
field in google.longrunning.operation.
Using batching yields decreased latency in the API response time and higher throughput. Note that
successfully receiving a batch API response indicates only that the batch request has been created.
Actual data processing is done asynchronously. Batch operations created more than 30 days ago will
be no longer accessible by the GetOperation method.
Each batch is limited to 200 requests.
Batch operation progress indicator
The google.longrunning.operation created by calling the batch create or update method falls under
one of the following states:
- STATE_UNSPECIFIED (the default value)
- INITIALIZING
- PROCESSING
- SUCCEEDED
- FAILED
In state INITIALIZING, success_count, failure_count, and total_count fields are set to 0. If the
operation is in state PROCESSING the success_count and failure_count
may increase. In state SUCCEEDED, success_count + failure_count is always equal
to total_count, and success_count > 0. In state FAILED, success_count is
always 0.
