- DESCRIPTION
- Imports entities into Google Cloud Datastore. Existing entities with the same key are overwritten. The import occurs in the background and its progress can be monitored and managed via the Operation resource that is created. If an Import operation is cancelled, it is possible that a subset of the data has already been imported to Cloud Datastore. This data will not be removed.
- EXAMPLES
-
To import all data exported to the output URL
gs://exampleBucket/exampleExport/exampleExport.overall_export_metadata, run:gcloud datastore import gs://exampleBucket/exampleExport/exampleExport.overall_export_metadataTo import all data exported to the output URL

INPUT_URL-

example:
gcloud datastore import --operation-labels=comment='customer orders','sales rep'=pending
