Google Cloud Datastore Admin API

The Datastore Admin API provides several admin services for Cloud Datastore.

Concepts

Project, namespace, kind, and entity as defined in the Google Cloud Datastore API.

Operation: An Operation represents work being performed in the background.

EntityFilter: Allows specifying a subset of entities in a project. This is specified as a combination of kinds and namespaces (either or both of which may be all).

Services

Export/Import

The Export/Import service provides the ability to copy all or a subset of entities to/from Google Cloud Storage.

Exported data may be imported into Cloud Datastore for any Google Cloud Platform project. It is not restricted to the export source project. It is possible to export from one project and then import into another.

Exported data can also be loaded into Google BigQuery for analysis.

Exports and imports are performed asynchronously. An Operation resource is created for each export/import. The state (including any errors encountered) of the export/import may be queried via the Operation resource.

Index

The index service manages Cloud Datastore composite indexes.

Index creation and deletion are performed asynchronously. An Operation resource is created for each such asynchronous operation. The state of the operation (including any errors encountered) may be queried via the Operation resource.

Operation

The Operations collection provides a record of actions performed for the specified project (including any operations in progress). Operations are not created directly but through calls on other collections or resources.

An operation that is not yet done may be cancelled. The request to cancel is asynchronous and the operation may continue to run for some time after the request to cancel is made.

An operation that is done may be deleted so that it is no longer listed as part of the Operation collection.

ListOperations returns all pending operations, but not completed operations.

Operations are created by service DatastoreAdmin, but are accessed via service google.longrunning.Operations.

Creates service definition that can be registered with a server

Register service method with a service binder with or without implementation. Useful when customizing the service binding logic. Note: this method is part of an experimental API that can change or be removed without any prior notice.
