Google-cloud-dotnet: Firestore: allow batch-get of snapshots in a transaction

[Thaina]

Would you pleased to make a release after this feature?

[jskeet]

Yes, that should be doable. I'm making a few other changes in the near future though, so I'll wait until that batch is complete before releasing.

[Thaina]

Would you please update nuget for batch functionality. I need to use batchget with masking data. I need some API that could check existing document without downloading whole doc. Or else I need to revert back to use low level API

[jskeet]

What do you mean by "with masking data"? If the current code doesn't do what you need, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to it in the next week and a half.

If you just need the current code released, I'll see what I can do in the next couple of days, but please be aware that I have many other things I'm working on besides Firestore. (I'd hoped to complete #1883 before releasing again too, but I think we can release without that for now.)

[Thaina]

@jskeet I don't know if you have make it support internally but I have seen at least batchGet API have a field named mask that could mask the returned document

https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/reference/rest/v1beta1/projects.databases.documents/batchGet#request-body

As I said I want to just query to check that document already exist or not. And this document is so large. So I wish I could get only some field to return from batch get

I just think the batchGet api was implement this functionality, or is it not?

[jskeet]

No, the batch-get functionality I've implemented (see #1888) just takes a collection of document references. It sounds like doing a release won't help you after all.

@schmidt-sebastian Did you have any plans around this?

[Thaina]

@jskeet Then that's OK. I agree. thank you for your clarification

Then I would like to add my voice to support masking related feature too. It could boost performance and decrease docs returned size

[Thaina]

Can you make a release for firestore in nuget on this?

Are there any the pending task on firestore?

[jskeet]

I'm in the middle of implementing Watch, which is getting reasonably close now. There are some renames coming up too. I'd at least like to get the latter done before the next NuGet release.

[jskeet]

Okay, the rename stuff is going to take a little longer than I'd expected, so I'm going to publish a release with the current state of play (which doesn't include any public watch API) to unblock you for this.

[Thaina]

Thank you very much

The NuGet package for 1.0.0-beta03 has now been pushed, but it may take an hour or so to show up and be indexed. Have fun :)
