// ## API Overview
//
// [Watcher][] lets a client watch for updates to a named entity, such as a
// directory or database table. For each watched entity, the client receives a
// reliable stream of watch events, without re-ordering.
//
// Watching is done by sending an RPC to a service that implements the API. The
// argument to the RPC contains the name of the entity. The result stream
// consists of a sequence of Change messages that the service continues to
// send until the call fails or is cancelled.
//
// ## Data model
//
// This API assumes that each *entity* has a name and a
// set of *elements*, where each element has a name and a value. The
// entity's name must be a unique identifier within the service, such as
// a resource name. What constitutes an entity or element is
// implementation-specific: for example, a file system implementation
// might define an entity as either a directory or a file, and elements would be
// child files or directories of that entity.
//
// The Watch API allows a client to watch an entity E's immediate
// elements or the whole tree rooted at E. Elements are organized into
// a hierarchy ("" at the top; the rest follows the natural hierarchy of the
// namespace of elements that is being watched). For example, when
// recursively watching a filesystem namespace, X is an ancestor of
// X/Y and X/Y/Z).
//
// ## Watch request
//
// When a client makes a request to watch an entity, it can indicate
// whether it wants to receive the initial state of the entity, just
// new changes to the entity, or resume watching from a particular
// point in a previous watch stream, specified with a `resume_marker` value.
// It can also indicate whether it wants to watch only one entity or all
// entities in the subtree rooted at a particular entity's name.
//
// On receiving a watch request for an entity, the server sends one or more
// messages to the client. The first message informs the client that the server
// has registered the client's request: the instant of time when the
// client receives the event is referred to as the client's "watch
// point" for that entity.
//
// ## Atomic delivery
//
// The response stream consists of a sequence of Change messages. Each
// message contains an `continued` bit. A sub-sequence of Change messages with
// `continued=true` followed by a Change message with `continued=false` forms an
// *atomic group*. Systems that support multi-element atomic updates may
// guarantee that all changes resulting from a single atomic
// update are delivered in the same atomic group. It is up to the
// documentation of a particular system that implements the Watch API to
// document whether or not it supports such grouping. We expect that most
// callers will ignore the notion of atomic delivery and the `continued` bit,
// i.e., they will just process each Change message as it is received.
//
// ## Batching
//
// Multiple Change messages may be grouped into a single ChangeBatch message
// to reduce message transfer overhead. A single ChangeBatch may contain many
// atomic groups, or a single atomic group may be split across many
// ChangeBatch messages.
//
// ## Initial State
//
// The first atomic group delivered by a watch call is special. It is
// delivered as soon as possible and contains the initial state of the
// entity being watched. The client should consider itself caught up
// after processing this first atomic group.
//
// The messages in the first atomic group will either refer to the
// entity itself (`Change.element` == "") or to elements inside the
// entity (`Change.element` != ""). Here are the cases to consider:
//
// 1. `resume_marker` is "" or not specified: For every element P
// (including the entity itself) that exists, there will be at least
// one message delivered with element == P and the last such message
// will contain the current state of P. For every element Q
// (including the entity itself) that does not exist, either no
// message will be delivered, or the last message for Q will have
// state == DOES_NOT_EXIST. At least one message for element="" will
// be delivered.
//
// 2. `resume_marker` == "now": there will be exactly one message with
// element = "" and state INITIAL_STATE_SKIPPED. The client cannot
// assume whether or not the entity exists after receiving this
// message.
//
// 3. `resume_marker` has a value R from a preceding watch call on this
// entity: The same messages as described in (1) will be delivered to
// the client, except that any information implied by messages received
// on the preceding call up to and including R may not be
// delivered. The expectation is that the client will start with state
// it had built up from the preceding watch call, apply the changes
// received from this call, and build an up-to-date view of the entity
// without having to fetch a potentially large amount of information
// that has not changed. Note that some information that had already
// been delivered by the preceding call might be delivered again.
//
// ## Ordering and Reliability
//
// The Change messages that apply to a particular element of the entity are
// delivered eventually in order without loss for the duration of the RPC. Note
// however that if multiple Changes apply to the same element, the
// implementation is free to suppress them and deliver just the last one. The
// underlying system must provide the guarantee that any relevant update
// received for an entity E after a client's watch point for E MUST be delivered
// to that client.
//
// These tight guarantees allow for the following simplifications in the client:
//
// 1. The client does not need to have a separate polling loop to make up for
// missed updates.
//
// 2. The client does not need to manage timestamps/versions manually; the
// last update delivered corresponds to the eventual state of the entity.
//
// Example: a calendar entry may have elements named { "starttime", "endtime",
// "attendees" } with corresponding values or it may have a single element name
// "entry" with a serialized proto for the calendar entry.
//
// ## Ordering constraints for parents/descendants
//
// The Watch API provides guarantees regarding the order in which
// messages for a parent and its descendants are delivered:
//
// 1. The creation of an ancestor (i.e., the first EXISTS message for
// the ancestor) is reported before the creation of any of its
// descendants.
//
// 2. The deletion of an ancestor (via a DOES_NOT_EXIST message)
// implies the deletion of all its descendants. The service will
// not deliver any messages for the descendants until the parent
// has been recreated.
// The service that a client uses to connect to the watcher system.
// The errors returned by the service are in the canonical error space,
// see [google.rpc.Code][].
service Watcher {
// Start a streaming RPC to get watch information from the server.
rpc Watch(Request) returns (stream ChangeBatch) {
option (google.api.http) = { get: "/v1/watch" };
}
}
// The message used by the client to register interest in an entity.
message Request {
// The `target` value **must** be a valid URL path pointing to an entity
// to watch. Note that the service name **must** be
// removed from the target field (e.g., the target field must say
// "/foo/bar", not "myservice.googleapis.com/foo/bar"). A client is
// also allowed to pass system-specific parameters in the URL that
// are only obeyed by some implementations. Some parameters will be
// implementation-specific. However, some have predefined meaning
// and are listed here:
//
// * recursive = true|false [default=false]
// If set to true, indicates that the client wants to watch all elements
// of entities in the subtree rooted at the entity's name in `target`. For
// descendants that are not the immediate children of the target, the
// `Change.element` will contain slashes.
//
// Note that some namespaces and entities will not support recursive
// watching. When watching such an entity, a client must not set recursive
// to true. Otherwise, it will receive an `UNIMPLEMENTED` error.
//
// Normal URL encoding must be used inside `target`. For example, if a query
// parameter name or value, or the non-query parameter portion of `target`
// contains a special character, it must be %-encoded. We recommend that
// clients and servers use their runtime's URL library to produce and consume
// target values.
string target = 1;
// The `resume_marker` specifies how much of the existing underlying state is
// delivered to the client when the watch request is received by the
// system. The client can set this marker in one of the following ways to get
// different semantics:
//
// * Parameter is not specified or has the value "".
// Semantics: Fetch initial state.
// The client wants the entity's initial state to be delivered. See the
// description in "Initial State".
//
// * Parameter is set to the string "now" (UTF-8 encoding).
// Semantics: Fetch new changes only.
// The client just wants to get the changes received by the system after
// the watch point. The system may deliver changes from before the watch
// point as well.
//
// * Parameter is set to a value received in an earlier
// `Change.resume_marker` field while watching the same entity.
// Semantics: Resume from a specific point.
// The client wants to receive the changes from a specific point; this
// value must correspond to a value received in the `Change.resume_marker`
// field. The system may deliver changes from before the `resume_marker`
// as well. If the system cannot resume the stream from this point (e.g.,
// if it is too far behind in the stream), it can raise the
// `FAILED_PRECONDITION` error.
//
// An implementation MUST support an unspecified parameter and the
// empty string "" marker (initial state fetching) and the "now" marker.
// It need not support resuming from a specific point.
