partitionSpec property

PartitionSpec? partitionSpec
getter/setter pair

[partition_spec] determines whether to export to partitioned table(s) and how to partition the data.

If [partition_spec] is unset or [partition_spec.partition_key] is unset or PARTITION_KEY_UNSPECIFIED, the snapshot results will be exported to non-partitioned table(s). [force] will decide whether to overwrite existing table(s). If [partition_spec] is specified. First, the snapshot results will be written to partitioned table(s) with two additional timestamp columns, readTime and requestTime, one of which will be the partition key. Secondly, in the case when any destination table already exists, it will first try to update existing table's schema as necessary by appending additional columns. Then, if [force] is TRUE, the corresponding partition will be overwritten by the snapshot results (data in different partitions will remain intact); if [force] is unset or FALSE, it will append the data. An error will be returned if the schema update or data appension fails.

Implementation

PartitionSpec? partitionSpec;
