Request Syntax

response = client.create_kx_changeset(
    environmentId='string',
    databaseName='string',
    changeRequests=[
        {
            'changeType': 'PUT'|'DELETE',
            's3Path': 'string',
            'dbPath': 'string'
        },
    ],
    clientToken='string'
)
Parameters:
  • environmentId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    A unique identifier of the kdb environment.

  • databaseName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the kdb database.

  • changeRequests (list) –

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of change request objects that are run in order. A change request object consists of changeType , s3Path, and dbPath. A changeType can have the following values:

    • PUT – Adds or updates files in a database.

    • DELETE – Deletes files in a database.

    All the change requests require a mandatory dbPath attribute that defines the path within the database directory. All database paths must start with a leading / and end with a trailing /. The s3Path attribute defines the s3 source file path and is required for a PUT change type. The s3path must end with a trailing / if it is a directory and must end without a trailing / if it is a file.

    Here are few examples of how you can use the change request object:

    • This request adds a single sym file at database root location. { "changeType": "PUT", "s3Path":"s3://bucket/db/sym", "dbPath":"/"}

    • This request adds files in the given s3Path under the 2020.01.02 partition of the database. { "changeType": "PUT", "s3Path":"s3://bucket/db/2020.01.02/", "dbPath":"/2020.01.02/"}

    • This request adds files in the given s3Path under the taq table partition of the database. [ { "changeType": "PUT", "s3Path":"s3://bucket/db/2020.01.02/taq/", "dbPath":"/2020.01.02/taq/"}]

    • This request deletes the 2020.01.02 partition of the database. [{ "changeType": "DELETE", "dbPath": "/2020.01.02/"} ]

    • The DELETE request allows you to delete the existing files under the 2020.01.02 partition of the database, and the PUT request adds a new taq table under it. [ {"changeType": "DELETE", "dbPath":"/2020.01.02/"}, {"changeType": "PUT", "s3Path":"s3://bucket/db/2020.01.02/taq/", "dbPath":"/2020.01.02/taq/"}]

    • (dict) –

      A list of change request objects.

      • changeType (string) – [REQUIRED]

        Defines the type of change request. A changeType can have the following values:

        • PUT – Adds or updates files in a database.

        • DELETE – Deletes files in a database.

      • s3Path (string) –

        Defines the S3 path of the source file that is required to add or update files in a database.

      • dbPath (string) – [REQUIRED]

        Defines the path within the database directory.

  • clientToken (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    A token that ensures idempotency. This token expires in 10 minutes.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.
