Class InstanceAdminClient (2.11.0)

Cloud Spanner Instance Admin API.

The Cloud Spanner Instance Admin API can be used to create, delete, modify and list instances. Instances are dedicated Cloud Spanner serving and storage resources to be used by Cloud Spanner databases.

Each instance has a "configuration", which dictates where the serving resources for the Cloud Spanner instance are located (e.g., US-central, Europe). Configurations are created by Google based on resource availability.

Cloud Spanner billing is based on the instances that exist and their sizes. After an instance exists, there are no additional per-database or per-operation charges for use of the instance (though there may be additional network bandwidth charges). Instances offer isolation: problems with databases in one instance will not affect other instances. However, within an instance databases can affect each other. For example, if one database in an instance receives a lot of requests and consumes most of the instance resources, fewer resources are available for other databases in that instance, and their performance may suffer.

Equality

Instances of this class created via copy-construction or copy-assignment always compare equal. Instances created with equal std::shared_ptr<*Connection> objects compare equal. Objects that compare equal share the same underlying resources.

Performance

Creating a new instance of this class is a relatively expensive operation, new objects establish new connections to the service. In contrast, copy-construction, move-construction, and the corresponding assignment operations are relatively efficient as the copies share all underlying resources.

Thread Safety

Concurrent access to different instances of this class, even if they compare equal, is guaranteed to work. Two or more threads operating on the same instance of this class is not guaranteed to work. Since copy-construction and move-construction is a relatively efficient operation, consider using such a copy when using this class from multiple threads.

Required. The name of the project for which a list of supported instance configurations is requested. Values are of the form projects/<project>.

opts Options

Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type Description
StreamRange< google::spanner::admin::instance::v1::InstanceConfig >

a StreamRange to iterate of the results. See the documentation of this type for details. In brief, this class has begin() and end() member functions returning a iterator class meeting the input iterator requirements. The value type for this iterator is a StatusOr as the iteration may fail even after some values are retrieved successfully, for example, if there is a network disconnect. An empty set of results does not indicate an error, it indicates that there are no resources meeting the request criteria. On a successful iteration the StatusOr<T> contains elements of type google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.InstanceConfig, or rather, the C++ class generated by Protobuf from that type. Please consult the Protobuf documentation for details on the Protobuf mapping rules.

Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type Description
future< StatusOr< google::spanner::admin::instance::v1::Instance > >

A future that becomes satisfied when the LRO (Long Running Operation) completes or the polling policy in effect for this call is exhausted. The future is satisfied with an error if the LRO completes with an error or the polling policy is exhausted. In this case the StatusOr returned by the future contains the error. If the LRO completes successfully the value of the future contains the LRO's result. For this RPC the result is a google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.Instance proto message. The C++ class representing this message is created by Protobuf, using the Protobuf mapping rules.

UpdateInstance(google::spanner::admin::instance::v1::UpdateInstanceRequest const &, Options)

Updates an instance, and begins allocating or releasing resources as requested.

The returned long-running operation can be used to track the progress of updating the instance. If the named instance does not exist, returns NOT_FOUND.

Immediately upon completion of this request:

  • For resource types for which a decrease in the instance's allocation has been requested, billing is based on the newly-requested level.

Until completion of the returned operation:

  • Cancelling the operation sets its metadata's cancel_time, and begins restoring resources to their pre-request values. The operation is guaranteed to succeed at undoing all resource changes, after which point it terminates with a CANCELLED status.
  • All other attempts to modify the instance are rejected.
  • Reading the instance via the API continues to give the pre-request resource levels.

Upon completion of the returned operation:

  • Billing begins for all successfully-allocated resources (some types may have lower than the requested levels).
  • All newly-reserved resources are available for serving the instance's tables.
  • The instance's new resource levels are readable via the API.

The returned long-running operation will have a name of the format <instance_name>/operations/<operation_id> and can be used to track the instance modification. The metadata field type is UpdateInstanceMetadata. The response field type is Instance, if successful.

Authorization requires spanner.instances.update permission on the resource name.

Parameters
Name Description
request google::spanner::admin::instance::v1::UpdateInstanceRequest const &

Unary RPCs, such as the one wrapped by this function, receive a single request proto message which includes all the inputs for the RPC. In this case, the proto message is a google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.UpdateInstanceRequest. Proto messages are converted to C++ classes by Protobuf, using the Protobuf mapping rules.

opts Options

Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type Description
future< StatusOr< google::spanner::admin::instance::v1::Instance > >

A future that becomes satisfied when the LRO (Long Running Operation) completes or the polling policy in effect for this call is exhausted. The future is satisfied with an error if the LRO completes with an error or the polling policy is exhausted. In this case the StatusOr returned by the future contains the error. If the LRO completes successfully the value of the future contains the LRO's result. For this RPC the result is a google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.Instance proto message. The C++ class representing this message is created by Protobuf, using the Protobuf mapping rules.

DeleteInstance(std::string const &, Options)

Deletes an instance.

Immediately upon completion of the request:

  • Billing ceases for all of the instance's reserved resources.

Soon afterward:

  • The instance and all of its databases immediately and irrevocably disappear from the API. All data in the databases is permanently deleted.
Parameters
Name Description
name std::string const &

Required. The name of the instance to be deleted. Values are of the form projects/<project>/instances/<instance>
opts Options

DeleteInstance(google::spanner::admin::instance::v1::DeleteInstanceRequest const &, Options)

Deletes an instance.

Immediately upon completion of the request:

  • Billing ceases for all of the instance's reserved resources.

Soon afterward:

  • The instance and all of its databases immediately and irrevocably disappear from the API. All data in the databases is permanently deleted.
Parameters
Name Description
request google::spanner::admin::instance::v1::DeleteInstanceRequest const &

Unary RPCs, such as the one wrapped by this function, receive a single request proto message which includes all the inputs for the RPC. In this case, the proto message is a google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.DeleteInstanceRequest. Proto messages are converted to C++ classes by Protobuf, using the Protobuf mapping rules.

opts Options

Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

SetIamPolicy(std::string const &, google::iam::v1::Policy const &, Options)

Sets the access control policy on an instance resource.

Replaces any existing policy.

Authorization requires spanner.instances.setIamPolicy on resource.

Parameters
Name Description
resource std::string const &

REQUIRED: The resource for which the policy is being specified. See the operation documentation for the appropriate value for this field.

policy google::iam::v1::Policy const &

REQUIRED: The complete policy to be applied to the resource. The size of the policy is limited to a few 10s of KB. An empty policy is a valid policy but certain Cloud Platform services (such as Projects) might reject them.

opts Options

Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type Description
StatusOr< google::iam::v1::Policy >

the result of the RPC. The response message type (google.iam.v1.Policy) is mapped to a C++ class using the Protobuf mapping rules. If the request fails, the StatusOr contains the error details.

SetIamPolicy(std::string const &, IamUpdater const &, Options)

Updates the IAM policy for resource using an optimistic concurrency control loop.

The loop fetches the current policy for resource, and passes it to updater, which should return the new policy. This new policy should use the current etag so that the read-modify-write cycle can detect races and rerun the update when there is a mismatch. If the new policy does not have an etag, the existing policy will be blindly overwritten. If updater does not yield a policy, the control loop is terminated and kCancelled is returned.

Parameters
Name Description
resource std::string const &

Required. The resource for which the policy is being specified. See the operation documentation for the appropriate value for this field.

updater IamUpdater const &

Required. Functor to map the current policy to a new one.
