Batches the supplied mutation groups in a collection of efficient transactions. All mutations in a group are committed atomically. However, mutations across groups can be committed non-atomically in an unspecified order and thus, they must be independent of each other. Partial failure is possible, that is, some groups might have been committed successfully, while some might have failed. The results of individual batches are streamed into the response as the batches are applied.
sessions.batchWrite requests are not replay protected, meaning that each mutation group can be applied more than once. Replays of non-idempotent mutations can have undesirable effects. For example, replays of an insert mutation can produce an already exists error or if you use generated or commit timestamp-based keys, it can result in additional rows being added to the mutation's table. We recommend structuring your mutation groups to be idempotent to avoid this issue.
Optional. If you don't set the excludeTxnFromChangeStreams option or if it's set to false, then any change streams monitoring columns modified by transactions will capture the updates made within that transaction.
Response body
The result of applying a batch of mutations.
If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:
The commit timestamp of the transaction that applied this batch. Present if status is OK, absent otherwise.
Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and use 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z", "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z" or "2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30".
A group of mutations to be committed together. Related mutations should be placed in a group. For example, two mutations inserting rows with the same primary key prefix in both parent and child tables are related.
