add_done_callback(fn)

Add a callback to be executed when the operation is complete.

If the operation is not already complete, this will start a helper thread to poll for the status of the operation in the background.

Parameters

fn (Callable[Future]) – The callback to execute when the operation is complete.

cancel(client=None, retry: Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry] = <google.api_core.retry.Retry object>, timeout: Optional[float] = None) → bool

API call: cancel job via a POST request

See https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/jobs/cancel

Parameters

• client (Optional[google.cloud.bigquery.client.Client]) – the client to use. If not passed, falls back to the client stored on the current dataset.

• retry (Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry]) – How to retry the RPC.

• timeout (Optional[float]) – The number of seconds to wait for the underlying HTTP transport before using retry

Returns

Boolean indicating that the cancel request was sent.

Return type

bool

cancelled()

Check if the job has been cancelled.

This always returns False. It’s not possible to check if a job was cancelled in the API. This method is here to satisfy the interface for google.api_core.future.Future.

Returns

False

Return type

bool

property configuration: google.cloud.bigquery.job.copy_.CopyJobConfig

The configuration for this copy job.

property create_disposition

See google.cloud.bigquery.job.CopyJobConfig.create_disposition.

property created

Datetime at which the job was created.

Returns

the creation time (None until set from the server).

Return type

Optional[datetime.datetime]

property destination

Table into which data is to be loaded.

Type

google.cloud.bigquery.table.TableReference

property destination_encryption_configuration

Custom encryption configuration for the destination table.

Custom encryption configuration (e.g., Cloud KMS keys) or None if using default encryption.

See google.cloud.bigquery.job.CopyJobConfig.destination_encryption_configuration.

Type

google.cloud.bigquery.encryption_configuration.EncryptionConfiguration

done(retry: google.api_core.retry.Retry = <google.api_core.retry.Retry object>, timeout: Optional[float] = None, reload: bool = True) → bool

Checks if the job is complete.

Parameters

• retry (Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry]) – How to retry the RPC. If the job state is DONE, retrying is aborted early, as the job will not change anymore.

• timeout (Optional[float]) – The number of seconds to wait for the underlying HTTP transport before using retry.

• reload (Optional[bool]) – If True, make an API call to refresh the job state of unfinished jobs before checking. Default True.

Returns

True if the job is complete, False otherwise.

Return type

bool

property ended

Datetime at which the job finished.

Returns

the end time (None until set from the server).

Return type

Optional[datetime.datetime]

property error_result

Error information about the job as a whole.

Returns

the error information (None until set from the server).

Return type

Optional[Mapping]

property errors

Information about individual errors generated by the job.

Returns

the error information (None until set from the server).

Return type

Optional[List[Mapping]]

property etag

ETag for the job resource.

Returns

the ETag (None until set from the server).

Return type

Optional[str]

exception(timeout=<object object>)

Get the exception from the operation, blocking if necessary.

See the documentation for the result() method for details on how this method operates, as both result and this method rely on the exact same polling logic. The only difference is that this method does not accept retry and polling arguments but relies on the default ones instead.

Parameters

• timeout (int) – How long to wait for the operation to complete.

• None (If) –

• indefinitely. (wait) –

Returns

The operation’s

error.

Return type

Optional[google.api_core.GoogleAPICallError]
