Entry
Creates an entry. You can create entries only with 'FILESET', 'CLUSTER', 'DATA_STREAM', or custom types. Data Catalog automatically creates entries with other types during metadata ingestion from integrated systems. You must enable the Data Catalog API in the project identified by the parent
parameter. For more information, see Data Catalog resource project. An entry group can have a maximum of 100,000 entries. Auto-naming is currently not supported for this resource.
Properties
Entry description that can consist of several sentences or paragraphs that describe entry contents. The description must not contain Unicode non-characters as well as C0 and C1 control codes except tabs (HT), new lines (LF), carriage returns (CR), and page breaks (FF). The maximum size is 2000 bytes when encoded in UTF-8. Default value is an empty string.
Fully Qualified Name (FQN) of the resource. Set automatically for entries representing resources from synced systems. Settable only during creation, and read-only later. Can be used for search and lookup of the entries.
The resource this metadata entry refers to. For Google Cloud Platform resources, linked_resource
is the Full Resource Name (https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/resource_names#full_resource_name). For example, the linked_resource
for a table resource from BigQuery is: //bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/{PROJECT_ID}/datasets/{DATASET_ID}/tables/{TABLE_ID}
Output only when the entry is one of the types in the EntryType
enum. For entries with a user_specified_type
, this field is optional and defaults to an empty string. The resource string must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), periods (.), colons (:), slashes (/), dashes (-), and hashes (#). The maximum size is 200 bytes when encoded in UTF-8.
Indicates the entry's source system that Data Catalog doesn't automatically integrate with. The user_specified_system
string has the following limitations: * Is case insensitive. * Must begin with a letter or underscore. * Can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores. * Must be at least 1 character and at most 64 characters long.
Custom entry type that doesn't match any of the values allowed for input and listed in the EntryType
enum. When creating an entry, first check the type values in the enum. If there are no appropriate types for the new entry, provide a custom value, for example, my_special_type
. The user_specified_type
string has the following limitations: * Is case insensitive. * Must begin with a letter or underscore. * Can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores. * Must be at least 1 character and at most 64 characters long.
