An idiomatic C++ client library for the Batch API, a fully managed service to schedule, queue, and execute batch jobs on Google's infrastructure.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/batch/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Batch API C++ client library API.
The main class in this library is batch_v1::BatchServiceClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock batch_v1::BatchServiceClient when testing your application.
Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies.
The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and uses exponential backoff to backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.
