Google Cloud BigQuery C++ Client Library
This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for interacting with Cloud BigQuery.
While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The quickstart/ directory contains a minimal environment to get started using this client library in a larger project. The following "Hello World" program is used in this quickstart, and should give you a taste of this library.
For detailed instructions on how to build and install this library, see the top-level README.
#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; }
