Methods

batch()

public abstract StorageBatch batch()

Creates a new empty batch for grouping multiple service calls in one underlying RPC call.

Example of using a batch request to delete, update and get a blob.


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName1 = "my-blob-name1";
 String blobName2 = "my-blob-name2";
 StorageBatch batch = storage.batch();
 BlobId firstBlob = BlobId.of(bucketName, blobName1);
 BlobId secondBlob = BlobId.of(bucketName, blobName2);
 batch.delete(firstBlob).notify(new BatchResult.Callback<Boolean, StorageException>() {
   public void success(Boolean result) {
     // deleted successfully
   }

   public void error(StorageException exception) {
     // delete failed
   }
 });
 batch.update(BlobInfo.newBuilder(secondBlob).setContentType("text/plain").build());
 StorageBatchResult<Blob> result = batch.get(secondBlob);
 batch.submit();
 Blob blob = result.get(); // returns get result or throws StorageException
Returns
Type Description
StorageBatch

blobWriteSession(BlobInfo blobInfo, Storage.BlobWriteOption[] options)

public default BlobWriteSession blobWriteSession(BlobInfo blobInfo, Storage.BlobWriteOption[] options)

Create a new BlobWriteSession for the specified blobInfo and options.

The returned BlobWriteSession can be used to write an individual version, a new session must be created each time you want to create a new version.

By default, any MD5 value in the provided blobInfo is ignored unless the option BlobWriteOption#md5Match() is included in options.

By default, any CRC32c value in the provided blobInfo is ignored unless the option BlobWriteOption#crc32cMatch() is included in options.

Example of creating an object using BlobWriteSession:


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName = "my-blob-name";
 BlobId blobId = BlobId.of(bucketName, blobName);
 BlobInfo blobInfo = BlobInfo.newBuilder(blobId).build();
 ReadableByteChannel readableByteChannel = ...;
 BlobWriteSession blobWriteSession = storage.blobWriteSession(blobInfo, BlobWriteOption.doesNotExist());

 // open the channel for writing
 try (WritableByteChannel writableByteChannel = blobWriteSession.open()) {
   // copy all bytes
   ByteStreams.copy(readableByteChannel, writableByteChannel);
 } catch (IOException e) {
   // handle IOException
 }

 // get the resulting object metadata
 ApiFuture<BlobInfo> resultFuture = blobWriteSession.getResult();
 BlobInfo gen1 = resultFuture.get();

copy(Storage.CopyRequest copyRequest)

public abstract CopyWriter copy(Storage.CopyRequest copyRequest)

Sends a copy request. This method copies both blob's data and information. To override source blob's information supply a BlobInfo to the CopyRequest using either Storage.CopyRequest.Builder#setTarget(BlobInfo, Storage.BlobTargetOption...) or Storage.CopyRequest.Builder#setTarget(BlobInfo, Iterable).

This method returns a CopyWriter object for the provided CopyRequest. If source and destination objects share the same location and storage class the source blob is copied with one request and CopyWriter#getResult() immediately returns, regardless of the CopyRequest#megabytesCopiedPerChunk parameter. If source and destination have different location or storage class CopyWriter#getResult() might issue multiple RPC calls depending on blob's size.

Example of copying a blob.


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName = "my-blob-name";
 String copyBlobName = "copy_blob_name";
 CopyRequest request = CopyRequest.newBuilder()
     .setSource(BlobId.of(bucketName, blobName))
     .setTarget(BlobId.of(bucketName, copyBlobName))
     .build();
 Blob blob = storage.copy(request).getResult();

Example of copying a blob in chunks.


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName = "my-blob-name";
 String copyBlobName = "copy_blob_name";
 CopyRequest request = CopyRequest.newBuilder()
     .setSource(BlobId.of(bucketName, blobName))
     .setTarget(BlobId.of(bucketName, copyBlobName))
     .build();
 CopyWriter copyWriter = storage.copy(request);
 while (!copyWriter.isDone()) {
   copyWriter.copyChunk();
 }
 Blob blob = copyWriter.getResult();

Example of rotating the encryption key of a blob.


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName = "my-blob-name";
 String oldEncryptionKey = "old_encryption_key";
 String newEncryptionKey = "new_encryption_key";
 BlobId blobId = BlobId.of(bucketName, blobName);
 CopyRequest request = CopyRequest.newBuilder()
     .setSource(blobId)
     .setSourceOptions(BlobSourceOption.decryptionKey(oldEncryptionKey))
     .setTarget(blobId, BlobTargetOption.encryptionKey(newEncryptionKey))
     .build();
 Blob blob = storage.copy(request).getResult();

create(BlobInfo blobInfo, byte[] content, Storage.BlobTargetOption[] options)

public abstract Blob create(BlobInfo blobInfo, byte[] content, Storage.BlobTargetOption[] options)

Creates a new blob. Direct upload is used to upload content. For large content, #writer is recommended as it uses resumable upload. MD5 and CRC32C hashes of content are computed and used for validating transferred data. Accepts an optional userProject BlobGetOption option which defines the project id to assign operational costs. The content type is detected from the blob name if not explicitly set. Note that all non-editable metadata, such as generation or metageneration, will be ignored even if it's present in the provided BlobInfo object.

Example of creating a blob from a byte array:


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName = "my-blob-name";
 BlobId blobId = BlobId.of(bucketName, blobName);

create(BlobInfo blobInfo, InputStream content, Storage.BlobWriteOption[] options) (deprecated)

public abstract Blob create(BlobInfo blobInfo, InputStream content, Storage.BlobWriteOption[] options)

Creates a new blob. Direct upload is used to upload content. For large content, #writer is recommended as it uses resumable upload. By default any MD5 and CRC32C values in the given blobInfo are ignored unless requested via the BlobWriteOption.md5Match and BlobWriteOption.crc32cMatch options. The given input stream is closed upon success. Note that all non-editable metadata, such as generation or metageneration, will be ignored even if it's present in the provided BlobInfo object.

This method is marked as Deprecated because it cannot safely retry, given that it accepts an InputStream which can only be consumed once.

Example of creating a blob from an input stream.


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";

By default any MD5 and CRC32C values in the given blobInfo are ignored unless requested via the BlobWriteOption#md5Match() and BlobWriteOption#crc32cMatch() options. Note that all non-editable metadata, such as generation or metageneration, will be ignored even if it's present in the provided BlobInfo object.

#createFrom(BlobInfo, InputStream, BlobWriteOption...) )} invokes this method with a buffer size of 15 MiB. Users can pass alternative values. Larger buffer sizes might improve the upload performance but require more memory. This can cause an OutOfMemoryError or add significant garbage collection overhead. Smaller buffer sizes reduce memory consumption, that is noticeable when uploading many objects in parallel. Buffer sizes less than 256 KiB are treated as 256 KiB.

Parameters
Name Description
blobInfo BlobInfo

blob to create
content InputStream

input stream to read from
bufferSize int

generateSignedPostPolicyV4(BlobInfo blobInfo, long duration, TimeUnit unit, PostPolicyV4.PostFieldsV4 fields, PostPolicyV4.PostConditionsV4 conditions, Storage.PostPolicyV4Option[] options)

public abstract PostPolicyV4 generateSignedPostPolicyV4(BlobInfo blobInfo, long duration, TimeUnit unit, PostPolicyV4.PostFieldsV4 fields, PostPolicyV4.PostConditionsV4 conditions, Storage.PostPolicyV4Option[] options)

Generates a URL and a map of fields that can be specified in an HTML form to submit a POST request. The returned map includes a signature which must be provided with the request. Generating a presigned POST policy requires a service account signer. If an instance of com.google.auth.ServiceAccountSigner was passed to StorageOptions' builder via setCredentials(Credentials) or the default credentials are being used and the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS is set, generatPresignedPostPolicyV4 will use that credentials to sign the URL. If the credentials passed to StorageOptions do not implement ServiceAccountSigner (this is the case, for instance, for Google Cloud SDK credentials) then signUrl will throw an IllegalStateException unless an implementation of ServiceAccountSigner is passed using the PostPolicyV4Option#signWith(ServiceAccountSigner) option.

Example of generating a presigned post policy which has the condition that only jpeg images can be uploaded, and applies the public read acl to each image uploaded, and making the POST request:


 PostFieldsV4 fields = PostFieldsV4.newBuilder().setAcl("public-read").build();
 PostConditionsV4 conditions = PostConditionsV4.newBuilder().addContentTypeCondition(ConditionV4Type.MATCHES, "image/jpeg").build();

 PostPolicyV4 policy = storage.generateSignedPostPolicyV4(
     BlobInfo.newBuilder("my-bucket", "my-object").build(),
     7, TimeUnit.DAYS, fields, conditions);

 HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
 HttpPost request = new HttpPost(policy.getUrl());
 MultipartEntityBuilder builder = MultipartEntityBuilder.create();

 for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : policy.getFields().entrySet()) {
     builder.addTextBody(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
 }
 File file = new File("path/to/your/file/to/upload");
 builder.addBinaryBody("file", new FileInputStream(file), ContentType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM, file.getName());
 request.setEntity(builder.build());
 client.execute(request);

To prevent corrupting policies when you update an IAM policy with Storage.setIamPolicy, the ETAG value is used to perform optimistic concurrency.

Example of updating the IAM policy on a bucket.


 // We want to make all objects in our bucket publicly readable.
 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 Policy currentPolicy = storage.getIamPolicy(bucketName);
 Policy updatedPolicy =
     storage.setIamPolicy(
         bucketName,
         currentPolicy.toBuilder()
             .addIdentity(StorageRoles.objectViewer(), Identity.allUsers())
             .build());
Parameters
Name Description
bucket String

name of the bucket where the setIamPolicy operation takes place
policy com.google.cloud.Policy

policy to be set on the specified bucket
options BucketSourceOption[]

extra parameters to apply to this operation
Returns
Type Description
com.google.cloud.Policy

signUrl(BlobInfo blobInfo, long duration, TimeUnit unit, Storage.SignUrlOption[] options)

public abstract URL signUrl(BlobInfo blobInfo, long duration, TimeUnit unit, Storage.SignUrlOption[] options)

Generates a signed URL for a blob. If you have a blob that you want to allow access to for a fixed amount of time, you can use this method to generate a URL that is only valid within a certain time period. This is particularly useful if you don't want publicly accessible blobs, but also don't want to require users to explicitly log in. Signing a URL requires a service account signer. If an instance of com.google.auth.ServiceAccountSigner was passed to StorageOptions' builder via setCredentials(Credentials) or the default credentials are being used and the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS is set or your application is running in App Engine, then signUrl will use that credentials to sign the URL. If the credentials passed to StorageOptions do not implement ServiceAccountSigner (this is the case, for instance, for Google Cloud SDK credentials) then signUrl will throw an IllegalStateException unless an implementation of ServiceAccountSigner is passed using the SignUrlOption#signWith(ServiceAccountSigner) option.

A service account signer is looked for in the following order:

  1. The signer passed with the option SignUrlOption#signWith(ServiceAccountSigner)
  2. The credentials passed to StorageOptions
  3. The default credentials, if no credentials were passed to StorageOptions

Example of creating a signed URL that is valid for 1 week, using the default credentials for signing the URL, the default signing method (V2), and the default URL style (path-style):


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName = "my-blob-name";
 URL signedUrl = storage.signUrl(
     BlobInfo.newBuilder(bucketName, blobName).build(),
     7, TimeUnit.DAYS);

Example of creating a signed URL passing the SignUrlOption#withV4Signature() option, which enables V4 signing:


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName = "my-blob-name";
 URL signedUrl = storage.signUrl(
     BlobInfo.newBuilder(bucketName, blobName).build(),
     7, TimeUnit.DAYS,
     Storage.SignUrlOption.withV4Signature());

Example of creating a signed URL passing the SignUrlOption#withVirtualHostedStyle() option, which specifies the bucket name in the hostname of the URI, rather than in the path:


 URL signedUrl = storage.signUrl(
     BlobInfo.newBuilder(bucketName, blobName).build(),
     1, TimeUnit.DAYS,
     Storage.SignUrlOption.withVirtualHostedStyle());

Example of creating a signed URL passing the SignUrlOption#withPathStyle() option, which specifies the bucket name in path portion of the URI, rather than in the hostname:


 URL signedUrl = storage.signUrl(
     BlobInfo.newBuilder(bucketName, blobName).build(),
     1, TimeUnit.DAYS,
     Storage.SignUrlOption.withPathStyle());

Example of creating a signed URL passing the SignUrlOption#signWith(ServiceAccountSigner) option, that will be used for signing the URL:


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName = "my-blob-name";
 String kfPath = "/path/to/keyfile.json";
 URL signedUrl = storage.signUrl(
     BlobInfo.newBuilder(bucketName, blobName).build(),
     7, TimeUnit.DAYS,
     SignUrlOption.signWith(ServiceAccountCredentials.fromStream(new FileInputStream(kfPath))));

Note that the ServiceAccountSigner may require additional configuration to enable URL signing. See the documentation for the implementation for more details.

Example of creating a signed URL for a blob with generation:


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 String blobName = "my-blob-name";
 long generation = 1576656755290328L;

 URL signedUrl = storage.signUrl(
     BlobInfo.newBuilder(bucketName, blobName, generation).build(),
     7, TimeUnit.DAYS,
     SignUrlOption.withQueryParams(ImmutableMap.of("generation", String.valueOf(generation))));

Type Description
URL

testIamPermissions(String bucket, List<String> permissions, Storage.BucketSourceOption[] options)

public abstract List<Boolean> testIamPermissions(String bucket, List<String> permissions, Storage.BucketSourceOption[] options)

Tests whether the caller holds the permissions on the specified bucket. Returns a list of booleans in the same placement and order in which the permissions were specified.

Example of testing permissions on a bucket.


 String bucketName = "my-unique-bucket";
 List<Boolean> response =
     storage.testIamPermissions(
         bucketName,
         ImmutableList.of("storage.buckets.get", "storage.buckets.getIamPolicy"));
 for (boolean hasPermission : response) {
   // Do something with permission test response
 }
Parameters

update(BlobInfo blobInfo)

public abstract Blob update(BlobInfo blobInfo)

Updates the properties of the blob. This method issues an RPC request to merge the current blob properties with the properties in the provided blobInfo. Properties not defined in blobInfo will not be updated. To unset a blob property this property in blobInfo should be explicitly set to null.

Bucket or blob's name cannot be changed by this method. If you want to rename the blob or move it to a different bucket use the Blob#copyTo and #delete operations.

Property update alters the blob metadata generation and doesn't alter the blob generation.

Example of how to update blob's user provided metadata and unset the content type:


 Map<String, String> metadataUpdate = new HashMap<>();
 metadataUpdate.put("keyToAdd", "new value");
 metadataUpdate.put("keyToRemove", null);
 BlobInfo blobUpdate = BlobInfo.newBuilder(bucketName, blobName)
     .setMetadata(metadataUpdate)
     .setContentType(null)
     .build();
 Blob blob = storage.update(blobUpdate);

See Also: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/objects/update

Parameter
Name Description
blobInfo BlobInfo

information to update
Returns
Type Description
Blob

the updated blob

update(BlobInfo blobInfo, Storage.BlobTargetOption[] options)

public abstract Blob update(BlobInfo blobInfo, Storage.BlobTargetOption[] options)

Updates the blob properties if the preconditions specified by options are met. The property update works as described in #update(BlobInfo).

options parameter can contain the preconditions for applying the update. E.g. update of the blob properties might be required only if the properties have not been updated externally. StorageException with the code 412 is thrown if preconditions fail.

Example of updating the content type only if the properties are not updated externally:


 BlobId blobId = BlobId.of(bucketName, blobName);
 BlobInfo blobInfo = BlobInfo.newBuilder(blobId).setContentType("text/plain").build();
 Blob blob = storage.create(blobInfo);

 doSomething();

 BlobInfo update = blob.toBuilder().setContentType("multipart/form-data").build();
 Storage.BlobTargetOption option = Storage.BlobTargetOption.metagenerationMatch();
 try {
   storage.update(update, option);
 } catch (StorageException e) {
   if (e.getCode() == 412) {
     // the properties were updated externally
   } else {
     throw e;
   }
 }
