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
Specification for a group of BigQuery tables with the [prefix]YYYYMMDD
name pattern. For more information, see Introduction to partitioned tables (https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/partitioned-tables#partitioning_versus_sharding).
Specification that applies to a BigQuery table. Valid only for entries with the TABLE
type.
Business Context of the entry. Not supported for BigQuery datasets
Specification that applies to Cloud Bigtable system. Only settable when integrated_system
is equal to CLOUD_BIGTABLE
Specification that applies to a table resource. Valid only for entries with the TABLE
or EXPLORE
type.
Physical location of the entry.
Specification that applies to a data source connection. Valid only for entries with the DATA_SOURCE_CONNECTION
type.
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.
Display name of an entry. The maximum size is 500 bytes when encoded in UTF-8. Default value is an empty string.
Specification that applies to a fileset resource. Valid only for entries with the FILESET
type.
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.
Specification that applies to a Cloud Storage fileset. Valid only for entries with the FILESET
type.
Indicates the entry's source system that Data Catalog integrates with, such as BigQuery, Pub/Sub, or Dataproc Metastore.
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.
Specification that applies to Looker sysstem. Only settable when user_specified_system
is equal to LOOKER
Additional information related to the entry. Private to the current user.
Specification that applies to a user-defined function or procedure. Valid only for entries with the ROUTINE
type.
Schema of the entry. An entry might not have any schema attached to it.
Specification that applies to a Service resource.
Timestamps from the underlying resource, not from the Data Catalog entry. Output only when the entry has a system listed in the IntegratedSystem
enum. For entries with user_specified_system
, this field is optional and defaults to an empty timestamp.
Specification that applies to a relational database system. Only settable when user_specified_system
is equal to SQL_DATABASE
Resource usage statistics.
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.
