Method: googleapis.firestore.v1beta1.projects.databases.indexes.create

Creates the specified index. A newly created index's initial state is CREATING. On completion of the returned google.longrunning.Operation, the state will be READY. If the index already exists, the call will return an ALREADY_EXISTS status. During creation, the process could result in an error, in which case the index will move to the ERROR state. The process can be recovered by fixing the data that caused the error, removing the index with delete, then re-creating the index with create. Indexes with a single field cannot be created.

This method waits—the workflow execution is paused—until the operation is complete, fails, or times out. The default timeout value is 1800 seconds (30 minutes) and can be changed to a maximum value of 31536000 seconds (one year) for long-running operations using the connector_params field. See the Connectors reference.

The connector uses polling to monitor the long-running operation, which might generate additional billable steps. For more information about retries and long-running operations, refer to Understand connectors.

The polling policy for the long-running operation can be configured. To set the connector-specific parameters (connector_params), refer to Invoke a connector call.

Raised exceptions

Exceptions
ConnectionError	In case of a network problem (such as DNS failure or refused connection).

TimeoutError	If a long-running operation takes longer to finish than the specified timeout limit.
TypeError	If an operation or function receives an argument of the wrong type.
