Getting Started with Bigtable Instance Administrative Operations

This example is a very simple "Instance Admin" application, which illustrates how to:

Create a production instance.
List the existing instances.
Get the metadata for an instance.
List all the clusters in an instance.
Delete an instance.

Run the example

This example uses the Cloud Bigtable C++ Client Library to communicate with Cloud Bigtable.

To run the example program, follow the instructions for the example on GitHub.

The example uses the following headers:

#include "google/cloud/bigtable/admin/bigtable_instance_admin_client.h"

Define aliases

To make the example less verbose we define some aliases:

  namespace cbt = ::google::cloud::bigtable;
  namespace cbta = ::google::cloud::bigtable_admin;
  using ::google::cloud::future;
  using ::google::cloud::Location;
  using ::google::cloud::Project;
  using ::google::cloud::Status;
  using ::google::cloud::StatusOr;

Connect to the Cloud Bigtable Instance Admin Endpoint.

Create an object of type bigtable_admin::BigtableInstanceAdminClient to obtain information about Instances, Clusters, Application Profiles, and to change the IAM permissions in a Cloud Bigtable instance:

  auto instance_admin = cbta::BigtableInstanceAdminClient(
      cbta::MakeBigtableInstanceAdminConnection());

https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/app-profiles for more information about Cloud Bigtable application profiles.

Check if an Instance already exists

  std::cout << "\nCheck Instance exists:\n";
  auto const project = Project(project_id);
  std::string const project_name = project.FullName();
  StatusOr<google::bigtable::admin::v2::ListInstancesResponse> instances =
      instance_admin.ListInstances(project_name);
  if (!instances) throw std::move(instances).status();
  if (!instances->failed_locations().empty()) {
    std::cerr
        << "The service tells us it has no information about these locations:";
    for (auto const& failed_location : instances->failed_locations()) {
      std::cerr << " " << failed_location;
    }
    std::cerr << ". Continuing anyway\n";
  }
  std::string const instance_name = cbt::InstanceName(project_id, instance_id);
  auto is_instance =
      [&instance_name](google::bigtable::admin::v2::Instance const& i) {
        return i.name() == instance_name;
      };
  auto const& ins = instances->instances();
  auto instance_exists =
      std::find_if(ins.begin(), ins.end(), is_instance) != ins.end();
  std::cout << "The instance " << instance_id
            << (instance_exists ? " already exists" : " does not exist")
            << "\n";

See Also

BigtableInstanceAdminClient::GetInstance() for another operation to query if an instance exists.

Create a Production Instance

Use BigtableInstanceAdminClient::CreateInstance() to create a new instance:

    std::cout << "\nCreating a PRODUCTION Instance: ";

    // production instance needs at least 3 nodes
    google::bigtable::admin::v2::Cluster c;
    c.set_location(Location(project, zone).FullName());
    c.set_serve_nodes(3);
    c.set_default_storage_type(google::bigtable::admin::v2::HDD);

    google::bigtable::admin::v2::Instance in;
    in.set_display_name("Sample Instance");
    in.set_type(google::bigtable::admin::v2::Instance::PRODUCTION);

    future<void> creation_done =
        instance_admin
            .CreateInstance(project_name, instance_id, std::move(in),
                            {{cluster_id, std::move(c)}})
            .then(
                [instance_id](
                    future<StatusOr<google::bigtable::admin::v2::Instance>> f) {
                  auto instance = f.get();
                  if (!instance) {
                    std::cerr << "Could not create instance " << instance_id
                              << "\n";
                    throw std::move(instance).status();
                  }
                  std::cout << "Successfully created instance: "
                            << instance->DebugString() << "\n";
                });
    // Note how this blocks until the instance is created. In production code
    // you may want to perform this task asynchronously.
    creation_done.get();
    std::cout << "DONE\n";

List Instances in a Project

Use BigtableInstanceAdminClient::ListInstances() to list all the instances in the project:

  std::cout << "\nListing Instances:\n";
  instances = instance_admin.ListInstances(project_name);
  if (!instances) throw std::move(instances).status();
  if (!instances->failed_locations().empty()) {
    std::cerr
        << "The service tells us it has no information about these locations:";
    for (auto const& failed_location : instances->failed_locations()) {
      std::cerr << " " << failed_location;
    }
    std::cerr << ". Continuing anyway\n";
  }
  for (auto const& instance : instances->instances()) {
    std::cout << "  " << instance.name() << "\n";
  }
  std::cout << "DONE\n";

See Also

The gRPC API documentation for ListInstances has more details on when failed_locations might be populated.

Get an Instance Metadata

Use BigtableInstanceAdminClient::GetInstance() to retrieve the metadata of an instance:

  std::cout << "\nGet Instance:\n";
  auto instance = instance_admin.GetInstance(instance_name);
  if (!instance) throw std::move(instance).status();
  std::cout << "Instance details :\n" << instance->DebugString() << "\n";

List clusters in an Instance

Use BigtableInstanceAdminClient::ListClusters() to list all the clusters in an instance (or all the clusters in a project):

  std::cout << "\nListing Clusters:\n";
  StatusOr<google::bigtable::admin::v2::ListClustersResponse> cluster_list =
      instance_admin.ListClusters(instance_name);
  if (!cluster_list) throw std::move(cluster_list).status();
  if (!cluster_list->failed_locations().empty()) {
    std::cout << "The Cloud Bigtable service reports that the following "
                 "locations are temporarily unavailable and no information "
                 "about clusters in these locations can be obtained:\n";
    for (auto const& failed_location : cluster_list->failed_locations()) {
      std::cout << failed_location << "\n";
    }
  }
  std::cout << "Cluster Name List:\n";
  for (auto const& cluster : cluster_list->clusters()) {
    std::cout << "Cluster Name: " << cluster.name() << "\n";
  }
  std::cout << "DONE\n";

See Also

The bigtable_admin::BigtableInstanceAdminClient class also has functions to create, update, delete, and retrieve the metadata of a Cluster.

See Also

The gRPC API documentation for ListClusters has more details on when failed_locations might be populated.

Delete an instance

Finally, use BigtableInstanceAdminClient::DeleteInstance() to delete an instance:

  std::cout << "Deleting instance " << instance_id << "\n";
  Status delete_status = instance_admin.DeleteInstance(instance_name);
  if (!delete_status.ok()) throw std::runtime_error(delete_status.message());
  std::cout << "DONE\n";

Warning: Note that this function will delete the instance even if it contains tables with data in them. For mission critical data you must ensure that the data is backed up before calling this function. Put it all together
