Feature Request: Expose metadata parameter in Storage asyncio gRPC client methods #17633
Description
Determine this is the right repository
- I determined this is the correct repository in which to report this feature request.
Summary of the feature request
Currently there is no way to pass additional information from client using python-storage sdk asycio grpc client. Passing metadata per call is often necessary for providing additional client information for observability to the underlying gRPC streams. Exposing metadata in each call so upstream clients can pass necessary headers and info.
Desired code experience
from google.cloud.storage.asyncio import StorageAsyncClient
async def main():
client = StorageAsyncClient()
# Example passing custom client info metadata
await client.get_object(
bucket_name="my-bucket",
object_name="my-object",
metadata=(("x-goog-api-client", "test-ua/additional-info"),)
)
### Expected results
_e.g. `my_new_feature()` should return FOO_
### API client name and version
`google-cloud-storage`
### Use case
This feature is useful in observability and tracking scenarios where custom information (like an `x-goog-api-client` header) needs to be passed asynchronously from the python-storage SDK down to the underlying gRPC stream.
### Additional context
I currently have a PR drafted that implements this functionality across `async_grpc_client.py`, `AsyncAppendableObjectWriter`, and `AsyncMultiRangeDownloader`.
