Create a materialized view
Create a materialized view at identifier id. The view may be query-backed, UDTF-backed, or chunker-backed, controlled by the kind discriminator.
Request body
Arbitrary context as key-value pairs. How to use the context is custom to the specific implementation.
On a request, it carries caller-provided context to the implementation. On a response, it carries implementation-provided context back to the caller.
REST NAMESPACE ONLY Context entries are mapped to and from HTTP headers using the header. prefix:
- On a request, any entry whose key starts with header. is sent as an HTTP request header with the prefix stripped. For example, the entry {"header.Authorization": "Bearer abc"} is sent as the request header Authorization: Bearer abc.
- On a response, every HTTP response header is returned as an entry whose key is the header name prefixed with header.. For example, the response header x-request-id: abc123 is returned as the entry {"header.x-request-id": "abc123"}.
View identifier path (namespace + view name)
The materialized view kind.
- query — plain query-backed view (no UDTF), 1:1 rows.
- udtf — batch UDTF-backed view (N:M rows, full refresh).
- chunker, aka 'scalar_udtf' — chunker view (1:N row expansion, incremental refresh).
Opaque serialized representation of the source query that defines the view's input. The format is defined by the client; the namespace server stores it without interpreting it.
Base64-encoded Arrow schema of the view output
If false, the server kicks off an initial refresh immediately after creating the view and the response includes a job ID.
If true, the view is automatically refreshed when source-table data changes past the deployment-level threshold. Boolean opt-in only; the threshold and cooldown are configured on the deployment, not per-view.

The commit version that created the materialized view
Refresh job ID, populated only when with_no_data was false.
