Class Type (2.33.0) 

Type(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Type represents the type of data that is written to, read from, or stored in Bigtable. It is heavily based on the GoogleSQL standard to help maintain familiarity and consistency across products and features.

For compatibility with Bigtable's existing untyped APIs, each Type includes an Encoding which describes how to convert to or from the underlying data.

Each encoding can operate in one of two modes:

  • Sorted: In this mode, Bigtable guarantees that Encode(X) <= Encode(Y) if and only if X <= Y. This is useful anywhere sort order is important, for example when encoding keys.
  • Distinct: In this mode, Bigtable guarantees that if X != Y then Encode(X) != Encode(Y). However, the converse is not guaranteed. For example, both "{'foo': '1', 'bar': '2'}" and "{'bar': '2', 'foo': '1'}" are valid encodings of the same JSON value.

The API clearly documents which mode is used wherever an encoding can be configured. Each encoding also documents which values are supported in which modes. For example, when encoding INT64 as a numeric STRING, negative numbers cannot be encoded in sorted mode. This is because INT64(1) > INT64(-1), but STRING("-00001") > STRING("00001").

This message has oneof_ fields (mutually exclusive fields). For each oneof, at most one member field can be set at the same time. Setting any member of the oneof automatically clears all other members.

Classes

Aggregate

Aggregate(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

A value that combines incremental updates into a summarized value.

Data is never directly written or read using type Aggregate. Writes will provide either the input_type or state_type, and reads will always return the state_type .

This message has oneof_ fields (mutually exclusive fields). For each oneof, at most one member field can be set at the same time. Setting any member of the oneof automatically clears all other members.

Array

Array(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

An ordered list of elements of a given type. Values of type Array are stored in Value.array_value.

Bool

Bool(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

bool Values of type Bool are stored in Value.bool_value.

Bytes

Bytes(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Bytes Values of type Bytes are stored in Value.bytes_value.

Date

Date(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Date Values of type Date are stored in Value.date_value.

Enum

Enum(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

A protobuf enum type. Values of type Enum are stored in Value.int_value.

Float32

Float32(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Float32 Values of type Float32 are stored in Value.float_value.

Float64

Float64(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Float64 Values of type Float64 are stored in Value.float_value.

Int64

Int64(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Int64 Values of type Int64 are stored in Value.int_value.

Map

Map(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

A mapping of keys to values of a given type. Values of type Map are stored in a Value.array_value where each entry is another Value.array_value with two elements (the key and the value, in that order). Normally encoded Map values won't have repeated keys, however, clients are expected to handle the case in which they do. If the same key appears multiple times, the last value takes precedence.

Proto

Proto(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

A protobuf message type. Values of type Proto are stored in Value.bytes_value.

String

String(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

String Values of type String are stored in Value.string_value.

Struct

Struct(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

A structured data value, consisting of fields which map to dynamically typed values. Values of type Struct are stored in Value.array_value where entries are in the same order and number as field_types.

Timestamp

Timestamp(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Timestamp Values of type Timestamp are stored in Value.timestamp_value.
