Method Detail

newTransaction

Transaction newTransaction(TransactionOptions options)

Returns a new Datastore transaction.

Parameters:

options - a transaction option indicating the mode of the transaction (read-only or read-write)

Throws:

DatastoreException - upon failure

newTransaction

Transaction newTransaction()

Returns a new Datastore transaction.

Throws:

DatastoreException - upon failure

runInTransaction

<T> T runInTransaction(Datastore.TransactionCallable<T> callable)

Invokes the callback's Datastore.TransactionCallable.run(com.google.cloud.datastore.DatastoreReaderWriter) method with a DatastoreReaderWriter that is associated with a new transaction. The transaction will be committed upon successful invocation. Any thrown exception will cause the transaction to rollback and will be propagated as a DatastoreException with the original exception as its root cause.

Example of running in a transaction.

 String callableResult = "my_callable_result";
 TransactionCallable<String> callable = new TransactionCallable<String>() {
   public String run(DatastoreReaderWriter readerWriter) {
     // use readerWriter to run in transaction
     return callableResult;
   }
 };
 String result = datastore.runInTransaction(callable);
 

Parameters:

callable - the callback to call with a newly created transactional readerWriter

Throws:

DatastoreException - upon failure

runInTransaction

<T> T runInTransaction(Datastore.TransactionCallable<T> callable,
                       TransactionOptions options)

Invokes the callback's Datastore.TransactionCallable.run(com.google.cloud.datastore.DatastoreReaderWriter) method with a DatastoreReaderWriter that is associated with a new transaction. The transaction will be committed upon successful invocation. Any thrown exception will cause the transaction to rollback and will be propagated as a DatastoreException with the original exception as its root cause. If TransactionOptions is set to read-write mode, previous transaction Id in the options will be automatically populated each time a transaction is retried.

Example of running in a transaction.

 String callableResult = "my_callable_result";
 TransactionCallable<String> callable = new TransactionCallable<String>() {
   public String run(DatastoreReaderWriter readerWriter) {
     // use readerWriter to run in transaction
     return callableResult;
   }
 };

 TransactionOptions options = TransactionOptions.newBuilder()
     .setReadWrite(TransactionOptions.ReadWrite
         .getDefaultInstance())
     .build();

 String result = datastore.runInTransaction(callable, options);
 

Parameters:

callable - the callback to call with a newly created transactional readerWriter

options - the Transaction options indicating whether the transaction mode is Read-only or Read-Write

Throws:

DatastoreException - upon failure

newBatch

Batch newBatch()

Returns a new Batch for processing multiple write operations in one request.

Example of starting a new batch.

 String keyName1 = "my_key_name_1";
 String keyName2 = "my_key_name_2";
 Key key1 = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind").newKey(keyName1);
 Key key2 = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind").newKey(keyName2);
 Batch batch = datastore.newBatch();
 Entity entity1 = Entity.newBuilder(key1).set("name", "John").build();
 Entity entity2 = Entity.newBuilder(key2).set("title", "title").build();
 batch.add(entity1);
 batch.add(entity2);
 batch.submit();
 

allocateId

Key allocateId(IncompleteKey key)

Allocate a unique id for the given key. The returned key will have the same information (projectId, kind, namespace and ancestors) as the given key and will have a newly assigned id.

Example of allocating an id.

 KeyFactory keyFactory = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind");
 IncompleteKey incompleteKey = keyFactory.newKey();

 // let cloud datastore automatically assign an id
 Key key = datastore.allocateId(incompleteKey);
 

Throws:

DatastoreException - upon failure

allocateId

List<Key> allocateId(IncompleteKey... keys)

Returns a list of keys using the allocated ids ordered by the input.

Example of allocating multiple ids in a single batch.

 KeyFactory keyFactory = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind");
 IncompleteKey incompleteKey1 = keyFactory.newKey();
 IncompleteKey incompleteKey2 = keyFactory.newKey();

 // let cloud datastore automatically assign the ids
 List<Key> keys = datastore.allocateId(incompleteKey1, incompleteKey2);
 

Throws:

DatastoreException - upon failure

See Also:

allocateId(IncompleteKey)

reserveIds

List<Key> reserveIds(Key... keys)

Reserve one or more keys, preventing them from being automatically allocated by Datastore.

Example of reserving multiple ids in a single batch.

 KeyFactory keyFactory = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind");
 Key key1 = keyFactory.newKey(10);
 Key key2 = keyFactory.newKey("name");
 List<Key> keys = datastore.reserveIds(key1, key2);

 

Throws:

DatastoreException - upon failure

add

Entity add(FullEntity<?> entity)

Datastore add operation: inserts the provided entity. This method will automatically allocate an id if necessary.

If an entity for entity.getKey() does not exist, entity is inserted. Otherwise, a DatastoreException is thrown with BaseServiceException.getReason() equal to "ALREADY_EXISTS".

Example of adding a single entity.

 String keyName = "my_key_name";
 Key key = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind").newKey(keyName);
 Entity.Builder entityBuilder = Entity.newBuilder(key);
 entityBuilder.set("propertyName", "value");
 Entity entity = entityBuilder.build();
 try {
   datastore.add(entity);
 } catch (DatastoreException ex) {
   if ("ALREADY_EXISTS".equals(ex.getReason())) {
     // entity.getKey() already exists
   }
 }
 

Specified by:

add in interface DatastoreWriter

Parameters:

entity - the entity to add

Returns:

an Entity with the same properties and a key that is either newly allocated or the same one if key is already complete

Throws:

DatastoreException - upon failure or if an entity for entity.getKey() already exists

add

List<Entity> add(FullEntity<?>... entities)

Datastore add operation: inserts the provided entities. This method will automatically allocate id for any entity with an incomplete key.

If none of entities' keys exist, all entities are inserted. If any of entities' keys already exists the method throws a DatastoreException with BaseServiceException.getReason() equal to "ALREADY_EXISTS". All entities in entities whose key did not exist are inserted. To achieve a transactional behavior, use Transaction.

Example of adding multiple entities.

 String keyName1 = "my_key_name1";
 String keyName2 = "my_key_name2";
 Key key1 = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind").newKey(keyName1);
 Entity.Builder entityBuilder1 = Entity.newBuilder(key1);
 entityBuilder1.set("propertyName", "value1");
 Entity entity1 = entityBuilder1.build();

 Key key2 = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind").newKey(keyName2);
 Entity.Builder entityBuilder2 = Entity.newBuilder(key2);
 entityBuilder2.set("propertyName", "value2");
 Entity entity2 = entityBuilder2.build();

 try {
   datastore.add(entity1, entity2);
 } catch (DatastoreException ex) {
   if ("ALREADY_EXISTS".equals(ex.getReason())) {
     // at least one of entity1.getKey() and entity2.getKey() already exists
   }
 }
 

Specified by:

add in interface DatastoreWriter

Returns:

a list of Entity ordered by input with the same properties and a key that is either newly allocated or the same one if was already complete

Throws:

DatastoreException - upon failure or if any of entities' keys already exists

See Also:

DatastoreWriter.add(FullEntity)

update

void update(Entity... entities)

A Datastore update operation. The operation will fail if an entity with the same key does not already exist.

Example of updating multiple entities.

 String keyName1 = "my_key_name_1";

 Key key1 = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind").newKey(keyName1);
 Entity.Builder entityBuilder1 = Entity.newBuilder(key1);
 entityBuilder1.set("propertyName", "updatedValue1");
 Entity entity1 = entityBuilder1.build();

 Key key2 = datastore.newKeyFactory().setKind("MyKind").newKey(keyName2);
 Entity.Builder entityBuilder2 = Entity.newBuilder(key2);
 entityBuilder2.set("propertyName", "updatedValue2");
 Entity entity2 = entityBuilder2.build();

 datastore.update(entity1, entity2);

Example of running a query to find all entities of one kind.

 String kind = "my_kind";
 StructuredQuery<Entity> query = Query.newEntityQueryBuilder()
     .setKind(kind)
     .build();
 QueryResults<Entity> results = datastore.run(query);
 List<Entity> entities = Lists.newArrayList();
 while (results.hasNext()) {
   Entity result = results.next();
   // do something with result
   entities.add(result);
 }
 

Example of running a query to find all entities with a matching property value.

default AggregationResults runAggregation(AggregationQuery query,
                                                   ReadOption... options)

Submits a AggregationQuery and returns AggregationResults. ReadOptions can be specified if desired.

Example of running an AggregationQuery to find the count of entities of one kind.

StructuredQuery example:

 EntityQuery selectAllQuery = Query.newEntityQueryBuilder()

GqlQuery example:

 GqlQuery<?> selectAllGqlQuery = Query.newGqlQueryBuilder(
         "AGGREGATE COUNT(*) AS total_count, COUNT_UP_TO(100) AS count_upto_100 OVER(SELECT * FROM Task)"
     )
     .setAllowLiteral(true)
     .build();
 AggregationQuery aggregationQuery = Query.newAggregationQueryBuilder()
     .over(selectAllGqlQuery)
     .build();
 AggregationResults aggregationResults = datastore.runAggregation(aggregationQuery);
 for (AggregationResult aggregationResult : aggregationResults) {
   System.out.println(aggregationResult.get("total_count"));
   System.out.println(aggregationResult.get("count_upto_100"));
 }
