ByteStreamClient extends BaseStub
in package

#### Introduction

The Byte Stream API enables a client to read and write a stream of bytes to and from a resource. Resources have names, and these names are supplied in the API calls below to identify the resource that is being read from or written to.

All implementations of the Byte Stream API export the interface defined here:

  • Read(): Reads the contents of a resource.

  • Write(): Writes the contents of a resource. The client can call Write() multiple times with the same resource and can check the status of the write by calling QueryWriteStatus().

Service parameters and metadata

The ByteStream API provides no direct way to access/modify any metadata associated with the resource.

Errors

The errors returned by the service are in the Google canonical error space.

Methods

__construct()  : mixed
QueryWriteStatus()  : UnaryCall
`QueryWriteStatus()` is used to find the `committed_size` for a resource that is being written, which can then be used as the `write_offset` for the next `Write()` call.
Read()  : ServerStreamingCall
`Read()` is used to retrieve the contents of a resource as a sequence of bytes. The bytes are returned in a sequence of responses, and the responses are delivered as the results of a server-side streaming RPC.
Write()  : ClientStreamingCall
`Write()` is used to send the contents of a resource as a sequence of bytes. The bytes are sent in a sequence of request protos of a client-side streaming RPC.

Methods

__construct()

public __construct(string $hostname, array<string|int, mixed> $opts[, Channel $channel = null ]) : mixed
Parameters
$hostname : string

hostname

$opts : array<string|int, mixed>

channel options

$channel : Channel = null

(optional) re-use channel object

QueryWriteStatus()

`QueryWriteStatus()` is used to find the `committed_size` for a resource that is being written, which can then be used as the `write_offset` for the next `Write()` call.

public QueryWriteStatus(QueryWriteStatusRequest $argument[, array<string|int, mixed> $metadata = [] ][, array<string|int, mixed> $options = [] ]) : UnaryCall

If the resource does not exist (i.e., the resource has been deleted, or the first Write() has not yet reached the service), this method returns the error NOT_FOUND.

The client may call QueryWriteStatus() at any time to determine how much data has been processed for this resource. This is useful if the client is buffering data and needs to know which data can be safely evicted. For any sequence of QueryWriteStatus() calls for a given resource name, the sequence of returned committed_size values will be non-decreasing.

Parameters
$argument : QueryWriteStatusRequest

input argument

$metadata : array<string|int, mixed> = []

metadata

$options : array<string|int, mixed> = []

call options

Return values
UnaryCall

Read()

`Read()` is used to retrieve the contents of a resource as a sequence of bytes. The bytes are returned in a sequence of responses, and the responses are delivered as the results of a server-side streaming RPC.

public Read(ReadRequest $argument[, array<string|int, mixed> $metadata = [] ][, array<string|int, mixed> $options = [] ]) : ServerStreamingCall
Parameters
$argument : ReadRequest

input argument

$metadata : array<string|int, mixed> = []

metadata

$options : array<string|int, mixed> = []

call options

Return values
ServerStreamingCall

Write()

`Write()` is used to send the contents of a resource as a sequence of bytes. The bytes are sent in a sequence of request protos of a client-side streaming RPC.

public Write([array<string|int, mixed> $metadata = [] ][, array<string|int, mixed> $options = [] ]) : ClientStreamingCall

A Write() action is resumable. If there is an error or the connection is broken during the Write(), the client should check the status of the Write() by calling QueryWriteStatus() and continue writing from the returned committed_size. This may be less than the amount of data the client previously sent.

Calling Write() on a resource name that was previously written and finalized could cause an error, depending on whether the underlying service allows over-writing of previously written resources.

When the client closes the request channel, the service will respond with a WriteResponse. The service will not view the resource as complete until the client has sent a WriteRequest with finish_write set to true. Sending any requests on a stream after sending a request with finish_write set to true will cause an error. The client should check the WriteResponse it receives to determine how much data the service was able to commit and whether the service views the resource as complete or not.

Parameters
$metadata : array<string|int, mixed> = []

$options : array<string|int, mixed> = []

Return values
ClientStreamingCall
