List Backups for this Table.

Parameters
Name Description
cluster_id str

(Optional) Specifies a single cluster to list Backups from. If none is specified, the returned list contains all the Backups in this Instance.

filter_ str

(Optional) A filter expression that filters backups listed in the response. The expression must specify the field name, a comparison operator, and the value that you want to use for filtering. The value must be a string, a number, or a boolean. The comparison operator must be <, >, <=, >=, !=, =, or :. Colon ':' represents a HAS operator which is roughly synonymous with equality. Filter rules are case insensitive. The fields eligible for filtering are: - name - source_table - state - start_time (values of the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ) - end_time (values of the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ) - expire_time (values of the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ) - size_bytes To filter on multiple expressions, provide each separate expression within parentheses. By default, each expression is an AND expression. However, you can include AND, OR, and NOT expressions explicitly. Some examples of using filters are: - name:"exact" --> The Backup name is the string "exact". - name:howl --> The Backup name contains the string "howl" - source_table:prod --> The source table's name contains the string "prod". - state:CREATING --> The Backup is pending creation. - state:READY --> The Backup is created and ready for use. - (name:howl) AND (start_time < "2020年05月28日T14:50:00Z") --> The Backup name contains the string "howl" and the Backup start time is before 2020年05月28日T14:50:00Z. - size_bytes > 10000000000 --> The Backup size is greater than 10GB

order_by str

(Optional) An expression for specifying the sort order of the results of the request. The string value should specify one or more fields in Backup. The full syntax is described at https://aip.dev/132#ordering. Fields supported are: * name * source_table * expire_time * start_time * end_time * size_bytes * state For example, "start_time". The default sorting order is ascending. To specify descending order for the field, a suffix " desc" should be appended to the field name. For example, "start_time desc". Redundant space characters in the syntax are insigificant. If order_by is empty, results will be sorted by start_time in descending order starting from the most recently created backup.

page_size int

(Optional) The maximum number of resources contained in the underlying API response. If page streaming is performed per-resource, this parameter does not affect the return value. If page streaming is performed per-page, this determines the maximum number of resources in a page.

Exceptions
Type Description
`ValueErro
Returns
Type Description
google.api_core.page_iterator.Iterator Iterator of Backup resources within the current Instance.

list_column_families

list_column_families()

Exceptions
Type Description
`ValueErro
Returns
Type Description

mutate_rows

mutate_rows(rows, retry=<google.api_core.retry.Retry object>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>)

For example:

.. literalinclude:: snippets_table.py :start-after: [START bigtable_api_mutate_rows] :end-before: [END bigtable_api_mutate_rows] :dedent: 4

The method tries to update all specified rows. If some of the rows weren't updated, it would not remove mutations. They can be applied to the row separately. If row mutations finished successfully, they would be cleaned up.

Optionally, a retry strategy can be specified to re-attempt mutations on rows that return transient errors. This method will retry until all rows succeed or until the request deadline is reached. To specify a retry strategy of "do-nothing", a deadline of 0.0 can be specified.

Parameters

rows list

List or other iterable of .DirectRow instances.

retry google.api_core.retry.Retry
