public sealed class Snapshot : IMessage<Snapshot>, IEquatable<Snapshot>, IDeepCloneable<Snapshot>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Bigtable Administration v2 API class Snapshot.
A snapshot of a table at a particular time. A snapshot can be used as a
checkpoint for data restoration or a data source for a new table.
Note: This is a private alpha release of Cloud Bigtable snapshots. This
feature is not currently available to most Cloud Bigtable customers. This
feature might be changed in backward-incompatible ways and is not recommended
for production use. It is not subject to any SLA or deprecation policy.
Output only. The size of the data in the source table at the time the
snapshot was taken. In some cases, this value may be computed
asynchronously via a background process and a placeholder of 0 will be used
in the meantime.
The time when the snapshot will be deleted. The maximum amount of time a
snapshot can stay active is 365 days. If 'ttl' is not specified,
the default maximum of 365 days will be used.
