Datastore V3 Major Version Changes

Datastore V3 is now available in Maven Central and brings the following changes:

• gRPC transport is enabled by default (swapped from HttpJson transport)
• gRPC default ChannelPool configurations updated to dynamically resize and better support initial load and request spikes

The major version bump did not remove any major functionality. This major version bump primarily serves as a signal regarding the default transport swap and the possible behavioral breaking change. As part of the major version bump, we have removed the existing methods marked as @Deprecated from the client library and bumped the classes and methods marked as @ObsoleteApi to be @Deprecated.

Impact

Transport Swap

If you are an existing gRPC Datastore user*, you should not experience any behavioral changes from this upgrade. Please monitor your applications after the upgrade.

If you are an existing HttpJson Datastore user, the default transport has been changed. If you cannot swap to use gRPC, then you will need to make the following changes to explicitly set the HttpTransportOptions if you wish to continue to use HttpJson.

   DatastoreOptions httpJsonTransportOptions =
        DatastoreOptions.newBuilder()
            .setTransportOptions(HttpTransportOptions.newBuilder().build())
            .build();
    Datastore datastore = httpJsonTransportOptions.getService();

Note*: Existing gRPC Datastore user refers to a users using the Datastore 2.x branch. To determine if you're using the the gRPC trasport:

1. If Datastore client is explicitly configured, check if this configuration is being set:

DatastoreOptions.newBuilder()
  .setTransportOptions(GrpcTransportOptions.newBuilder().build()) // Explicit gRPC configuration
  .build();

2. If Datastore class exists, check the TransportOption type from the options:

Datastore datastore = DatastoreOptions.newBuilder().build().getService();
TransportOptions transportOptions = datastore.getOptions().getTransportOptions();
System.out.println(transportOptions.getClass()); // gRPC -> class com.google.cloud.grpc.GrpcTransportOptions

New Feature: Client-Side Metrics

Datastore V3 introduces built-in client-side observability to help you monitor API performance and troubleshoot latency. The client library can now automatically record and export metrics (such as operation latencies and attempt counts) to Google Cloud Monitoring using a private OpenTelemetry pipeline. Additionally, you can configure the client to route these metrics to your own custom OpenTelemetry backend.

Note: Built-in export to Google Cloud Monitoring is currently disabled by default. To use this feature, you must explicitly enable it via DatastoreOpenTelemetryOptions.

@Deprecated annotation

Since we have added new methods with the @Deprecated annotation, you can experience new CI failures if you fail compilation from deprecated usages. The client library has marked the alternatives that you can migrate to properly move off these newly deprecated cases.
