str
A per-request tag which can be applied to queries or reads,
used for statistics collection. Both request_tag and
transaction_tag can be specified for a read or query that
belongs to a transaction. This field is ignored for requests
where it's not applicable (e.g. CommitRequest). Legal
characters for request_tag values are all printable
characters (ASCII 32 - 126) and the length of a request_tag
is limited to 50 characters. Values that exceed this limit
are truncated. Any leading underscore (_) characters will be
removed from the string.
transaction_tag
str
A tag used for statistics collection about this transaction.
Both request_tag and transaction_tag can be specified for a
read or query that belongs to a transaction. The value of
transaction_tag should be the same for all requests
belonging to the same transaction. If this request doesn't
belong to any transaction, transaction_tag will be ignored.
Legal characters for transaction_tag values are all
printable characters (ASCII 32 - 126) and the length of a
transaction_tag is limited to 50 characters. Values that
exceed this limit are truncated. Any leading underscore (_)
characters will be removed from the string.
Classes
Priority
Priority(value)
The relative priority for requests. Note that priority is not
applicable for
BeginTransaction][google.spanner.v1.Spanner.BeginTransaction].
The priority acts as a hint to the Cloud Spanner scheduler and does
not guarantee priority or order of execution. For example:
Some parts of a write operation always execute at
PRIORITY_HIGH, regardless of the specified priority. This may
cause you to see an increase in high priority workload even when
executing a low priority request. This can also potentially cause
a priority inversion where a lower priority request will be
fulfilled ahead of a higher priority request.
If a transaction contains multiple operations with different
priorities, Cloud Spanner does not guarantee to process the
higher priority operations first. There may be other constraints
to satisfy, such as order of operations.
