The Cloud BigQuery C++ Client library offers types and functions to use Cloud BigQuery from C++11 applications.
This library requires a C++14 compiler. It is supported (and tested) on multiple Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows.
QuickstartThe following instructions show you how to perform basic tasks in Cloud BigQuery using the C++ client library.
Before you beginIn order to use the Cloud BigQuery C++ client library from your own code, you'll need to configure your build system to fetch and compile the Cloud C++ client library. The Cloud BigQuery C++ client library natively supports the Bazel and CMake build systems. We've created a minimal, "Hello world", quickstart repo that includes detailed instructions on how to compile the library for use in your application. You can fetch the source from GitHub as normal:
git clone https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-cpp.git
cd google-cloud-cpp/google/cloud/bigquery/quickstart
Example: Hello World
The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/bigquery/quickstart/
directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud BigQuery C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/bigquery/storage/v1/bigquery_read_client.h"
#include <iostream>
namespace {
void ProcessRowsInAvroFormat(
::google::cloud::bigquery::storage::v1::AvroSchema const&,
::google::cloud::bigquery::storage::v1::AvroRows const&) {
// Code to deserialize avro rows should be added here.
}
} // namespace
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 3) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <project-id> <table-name>\n";
return 1;
}
// project_name should be in the format "projects/<your-gcp-project>"
std::string const project_name = "projects/" + std::string(argv[1]);
// table_name should be in the format:
// "projects/<project-table-resides-in>/datasets/<dataset-table_resides-in>/tables/<table
// name>" The project values in project_name and table_name do not have to be
// identical.
std::string const table_name = argv[2];
// Create a namespace alias to make the code easier to read.
namespace bigquery_storage = ::google::cloud::bigquery_storage_v1;
constexpr int kMaxReadStreams = 1;
// Create the ReadSession.
auto client = bigquery_storage::BigQueryReadClient(
bigquery_storage::MakeBigQueryReadConnection());
::google::cloud::bigquery::storage::v1::ReadSession read_session;
read_session.set_data_format(
google::cloud::bigquery::storage::v1::DataFormat::AVRO);
read_session.set_table(table_name);
auto session =
client.CreateReadSession(project_name, read_session, kMaxReadStreams);
if (!session) throw std::move(session).status();
// Read rows from the ReadSession.
constexpr int kRowOffset = 0;
auto read_rows = client.ReadRows(session->streams(0).name(), kRowOffset);
std::int64_t num_rows = 0;
for (auto const& row : read_rows) {
if (row.ok()) {
num_rows += row->row_count();
ProcessRowsInAvroFormat(session->avro_schema(), row->avro_rows());
}
}
std::cout << num_rows << " rows read from table: " << table_name << "\n";
return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
return 1;
}
Main classes
This library offers multiple *Client
classes, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a gRPC service
as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple gRPC services because they are part of the same product or are often used together. A typical example may be the administrative and data plane operations for a single product.
The library also has other classes that provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock the *Client
classes when testing your application.
bigquery_analyticshub_v1::AnalyticsHubServiceClient
bigquery_connection_v1::ConnectionServiceClient
bigquery_datapolicies_v1::DataPolicyServiceClient
bigquery_datatransfer_v1::DataTransferServiceClient
bigquery_migration_v2::MigrationServiceClient
bigquery_reservation_v1::ReservationServiceClient
bigquery_storage_v1::BigQueryReadClient
bigquery_storage_v1::BigQueryWriteClient
