Admin Operations

Admin operations are handled through the AdminClient class (aliased as google.cloud.pubsublite.AdminClient).

Instantiating an admin client requires you to provide a valid cloud region for the Pub/Sub Lite service:

from google.cloud.pubsublite import AdminClient
cloud_region = CloudRegion("us-central1")
admin_client = AdminClient(cloud_region)

Create a topic

To create a message, use the create_topic() method. This method accepts one positional arguments: a Topic object, where the name of the topic is passed along as a string.

Pub/Sub Lite topics have the canonical form of

projects/{project_number}/locations/{location}/topics/{topic_id}

A location (a.k.a. zone) is comprised of a cloud region and a zone ID.

A call to create a Pub/Sub Lite topic looks like:

from google.cloud.pubsublite import AdminClient, Topic
from google.cloud.pubsublite.types import (
    CloudRegion, CloudZone, TopicPath,
)

project_number = 1122334455
zone_id = "a"
topic_id = "your-topic-id"

cloud_region = CloudRegion(cloud_region)
location = CloudZone(cloud_region, zone_id)
topic_path = TopicPath(project_number, location, topic_id)

topic = Topic(
    name=str(topic_path),
    partition_config=Topic.PartitionConfig(
        # 1 partition
        count=1,
        # Publish at 4 MiB/s and subscribe at 8 MiB/s
        capacity=Topic.PartitionConfig.Capacity(
            publish_mib_per_sec=4,
            subscribe_mib_per_sec=8,
        ),
    ),
    retention_config=Topic.RetentionConfig(
        # 30 GiB
        per_partition_bytes=30 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024,
        # 7 days
        period=Duration(seconds=60 * 60 * 24 * 7),
    ),
)

admin_client = AdminClient(cloud_region)
response = admin_client.create_topic(topic)
