Delete a schema revision for a topic

This document shows you how to delete schema revisions for Pub/Sub topics. The delete operation for a schema also deletes all the revisions associated with the schema.

Before you begin

Required roles and permissions

To get the permissions that you need to delete and manage schema revisions, ask your administrator to grant you the Pub/Sub Editor ( roles/pubsub.editor ) IAM role on your project. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations .

This predefined role contains the permissions required to delete and manage schema revisions. To see the exact permissions that are required, expand the Required permissionssection:

Required permissions

The following permissions are required to delete and manage schema revisions:

  • Create schema: pubsub.schemas.create
  • Attach schema to topic: pubsub.schemas.attach
  • Commit a schema revision: pubsub.schemas.commit
  • Delete a schema or a schema revision: pubsub.schemas.delete
  • Get a schema or schema revisions: pubsub.schemas.get
  • List schemas: pubsub.schemas.list
  • List schema revisions: pubsub.schemas.listRevisions
  • Rollback a schema: pubsub.schemas.rollback
  • Validate a message: pubsub.schemas.validate
  • Get the IAM policy for a schema: pubsub.schemas.getIamPolicy
  • Configure the IAM policy for a schema: pubsub.schemas.setIamPolicy

You might also be able to get these permissions with custom roles or other predefined roles .

You can grant roles and permissions to principals such as users, groups, domains, or service accounts. You can create a schema in one project and attach it to a topic located in a different project. Ensure that you have the required permissions for each project.

Delete a schema revision

The following are some important guidelines for deleting a schema revision:

  • You can delete one or multiple schema revisions from a schema.

  • If the schema has only one revision, you cannot delete the revision. Instead, delete the schema.

  • The delete operation for a schema also deletes all the revisions associated with the schema.

  • If you delete a schema, publishing messages to topics associated with that schema fails.

  • If you delete a schema revision, and it's specified as the first revision for a topic, the next revision is used instead for validation.

    If the deleted schema revision is specified as the last revision for a topic, the previous schema revision is used instead for validation.

    If the deleted schema revision falls within the specified revision range for a topic for validation, the revision is skipped.

You can delete a schema revision using the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, the Pub/Sub API, or the Cloud Client Libraries.

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Pub/Sub schemaspage.

    Go to Schemas

  2. Click the name of an existing schema.

    The Schema detailspage for the schema opens.

  3. Select the revision that you want to delete. You can also select multiple revisions.

  4. Click Delete revision.

  5. Confirm the delete operation.

gcloud

gcloud  
pubsub  
schemas  
delete-revision  
 SCHEMA_NAME@REVISION_ID 

Where:

  • REVISION_ID is the revision to which you want to roll back.

REST

To delete a schema revision, send a DELETE request like the following:

POST https://pubsub.googleapis.com/v1/projects/ PROJECT_ID 
/schemas/ SCHEMA_ID@REVISION_ID:deleteRevision 
Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token)
Content-Type: application/json --data @response-body.json

The response body should contain a JSON representation the deleted schema resource .

C++
