Creates a dataflow job from a template.

### Method Details

`create(projectId, body, x__xgafv=None)`

    Creates a dataflow job from a template.

    Args:
      projectId: string, The project which owns the job. (required)
      body: object, The request body. (required)
        The object takes the form of:

    { # Request to create a Dataflow job.
        "gcsPath": "A String", # A path to the serialized JSON representation of the job.
        "parameters": { # Dynamic parameterization of the job's runtime environment.
          "a_key": "A String",
        },
      }

      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Defines a job to be run by the Dataflow service.
          "clientRequestId": "A String", # Client's unique identifier of the job, re-used by SDK across retried attempts. If this field is set, the service will ensure its uniqueness. That is, the request to create a job will fail if the service has knowledge of a previously submitted job with the same client's id and job name. The caller may, for example, use this field to ensure idempotence of job creation across retried attempts to create a job. By default, the field is empty and, in that case, the service ignores it.
          "requestedState": "A String", # The job's requested state. UpdateJob may be used to switch between the JOB_STATE_STOPPED and JOB_STATE_RUNNING states, by setting requested_state. UpdateJob may also be used to directly set a job's requested state to JOB_STATE_CANCELLED or JOB_STATE_DONE, irrevocably terminating the job if it has not already reached a terminal state.
          "name": "A String", # The user-specified Dataflow job name. Only one Job with a given name may exist in a project at any given time. If a caller attempts to create a Job with the same name as an already-existing Job, the attempt will return the existing Job. The name must match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]{0,38}[a-z0-9])?
          "replacedByJobId": "A String", # If another job is an update of this job (and thus, this job is in JOB_STATE_UPDATED), this field will contain the ID of that job.
          "projectId": "A String", # The project which owns the job.
          "labels": { # User-defined labels for this job. The labels map can contain no more than 64 entries. Entries of the labels map are UTF8 strings that comply with the following restrictions: * Keys must conform to regexp: \p{Ll}\p{Lo}{0,62} * Values must conform to regexp: [\p{Ll}\p{Lo}\p{N}_-]{0,63} * Both keys and values are additionally constrained to be <= 128 bytes in size.

If SSD persistent disks are available, the resource name typically ends with "pd-ssd". The actual valid values are defined the Google Compute Engine API, not by the Dataflow API; consult the Google Compute Engine documentation for more information about determining the set of available disk types for a particular project and zone. Google Compute Engine Disk types are local to a particular project in a particular zone, and so the resource name will typically look something like this: compute.googleapis.com/projects/

Data is typically passed from one step to another as part of the job. Here's an example of a sequence of steps which together implement a Map-Reduce job: * Read a collection of data from some source, parsing the collection's elements. * Validate the elements. * Apply a user-defined function to map each element to some value and extract an element-specific key value. * Group elements with the same key into a single element with that key, transforming a multiply-keyed collection into a uniquely-keyed collection. * Write the elements out to some data sink. (Note that the Dataflow service may be used to run many different types of jobs, not just Map-Reduce).
