We are trying to create a new data store for the purpose of Vertex AI Search application.
- We select the “eu” location and click on “Create data store”.
- We select “Cloud storage” as the data source.
- We selected “Tabular/E-commerce” structured data type. Synchronization frequency is set to “One time”. We selected a Cloud Bucket folder with 9000 individual JSON files which all share a common schema. Each JSON file is about 50kB of size.
- After ~5 minutes, we receive this error. We tried at least 10 times and the error was always the same.
- If we click on “Continue”, the following dialogue pops up:
We checked GCP’s status page and it doesn’t list any ongoing problems.
In our opinion you should let users decide whether they want to upload their own JSON schema (which is our use case) or use your built-in automatic schema detection algorithm.
This is a blocker for us right now - we are not able to create a new data store because the automatic schema detection failed. We have no way to even upload our custom JSON file which contains a schema definition.
