1. API Description

Domain name for API request: dlc.intl.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to create a data engine.

A maximum of 20 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

We recommend you to use API Explorer
Try it
API Explorer provides a range of capabilities, including online call, signature authentication, SDK code generation, and API quick search. It enables you to view the request, response, and auto-generated examples.

2. Input Parameters

The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.

Parameter Name Required Type Description
Action Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: CreateDataEngine.
Version Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: 2021-01-25.
Region Yes String Common Params. For more information, please see the list of regions supported by the product.
EngineType Yes String The engine type. Valid values: spark and presto.
DataEngineName Yes String The name of the virtual cluster.
ClusterType Yes String The cluster type. Valid values: spark_private, presto_private, presto_cu, and spark_cu.
Mode Yes Integer The billing mode. Valid values: 0 (shared engine), 1 (pay-as-you-go), and 2 (monthly subscription).
AutoResume Yes Boolean Whether to automatically start the clusters.
MinClusters No Integer The minimum number of clusters.
MaxClusters No Integer The maximum number of clusters.
CidrBlock No String The VPC CIDR block.
Message No String The description.
Size No Integer The cluster size.
PayMode No Integer The pay mode. Valid value: 0 (postpaid, default) and 1 (prepaid) (currently not available).
TimeSpan No Integer The usage duration of the resource. Postpaid: Fill in 3,600 as a fixed figure; prepaid: fill in a figure equal to or bigger than 1 which means purchasing resources for one month. The maximum figure is not bigger than 120. The default value is 1.
TimeUnit No String The unit of the resource period. Valid values: s (default) for the postpaid mode and m for the prepaid mode.
AutoRenew No Integer The auto-renewal status of the resource. For the postpaid mode, no renewal is required, and the value is fixed to 0. For the prepaid mode, valid values are 0 (manual), 1 (auto), and 2 (no renewal). If this parameter is set to 0 for a key account in the prepaid mode, auto-renewal applies. It defaults to 0.
Tags.N No Array of TagInfo The tags to be set for the resource being created.
AutoSuspend No Boolean Whether to automatically suspend clusters. Valid values: false (default, no) and true (yes).
CrontabResumeSuspend No Integer Whether to enable scheduled start and suspension of clusters. Valid values: 0 (disable) and 1 (enable). Note: This policy and the auto-suspension policy are mutually exclusive.
CrontabResumeSuspendStrategy No CrontabResumeSuspendStrategy The complex policy for scheduled start and suspension, including the start/suspension time and suspension policy.
EngineExecType No String The type of tasks to be executed by the engine, which defaults to SQL. Valid values: SQL and BATCH.
MaxConcurrency No Integer The max task concurrency of a cluster, which defaults to 5.
TolerableQueueTime No Integer The task queue time limit, which defaults to 0. When the actual queue time exceeds the value set here, scale-out may be triggered. Setting this parameter to 0 represents that scale-out may be triggered immediately after a task queues up.
AutoSuspendTime No Integer The cluster auto-suspension time, which defaults to 10 min.
ResourceType No String The resource type. Valid values: Standard_CU (standard) and Memory_CU (memory).
DataEngineConfigPairs.N No Array of DataEngineConfigPair The advanced configurations of clusters.
ImageVersionName No String The version name of cluster image, such as SuperSQL-P 1.1 and SuperSQL-S 3.2. If no value is passed in, a cluster is created using the latest image version.
MainClusterName No String The primary cluster, which is specified when a failover cluster is created.
ElasticSwitch No Boolean Whether to enable the scaling feature for a monthly subscribed Spark job cluster.
ElasticLimit No Integer The upper limit (in CUs) for scaling of the monthly subscribed Spark job cluster.
SessionResourceTemplate No SessionResourceTemplate The session resource configuration template for a Spark job cluster.
AutoAuthorization No Boolean Automatically grant permissions
EngineNetworkId No String Engine network ID
EngineGeneration No String Generation of the engine. SuperSQL means the supersql engine while Native means the standard engine. It is SuperSQL by default.

3. Output Parameters

Parameter Name Type Description
DataEngineId String The ID of the virtual engine.
RequestId String The unique request ID, generated by the server, will be returned for every request (if the request fails to reach the server for other reasons, the request will not obtain a RequestId). RequestId is required for locating a problem.
