Package bigtable is an API to Google Cloud Bigtable.
See https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/ for general product documentation.
See https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go for authentication, timeouts,
connection pooling and similar aspects of this package.
Reading
The principal way to read from a Bigtable is to use the ReadRows method on
*Table. A RowRange specifies a contiguous portion of a table. A Filter may be
provided through RowFilter to limit or transform the data that is returned.
tbl := client.Open("mytable")
// Read all the rows starting with "com.google.", but only fetch the columns
// in the "links" family.
rr := bigtable.PrefixRange("com.google.")
err := tbl.ReadRows(ctx, rr, func(r Row) bool {
// TODO: do something with r.
return true // Keep going.
}, bigtable.RowFilter(bigtable.FamilyFilter("links")))
if err != nil {
// TODO: handle err.
}
To read a single row, use the ReadRow helper method:
r, err := tbl.ReadRow(ctx, "com.google.cloud") // "com.google.cloud" is the entire row key
if err != nil {
// TODO: handle err.
}
// TODO: use r.
Writing
This API exposes two distinct forms of writing to a Bigtable: a Mutation and a
ReadModifyWrite. The former expresses idempotent operations. The latter
expresses non-idempotent operations and returns the new values of updated cells.
These operations are performed by creating a Mutation or ReadModifyWrite (with
NewMutation or NewReadModifyWrite), building up one or more operations on that,
and then using the Apply or ApplyReadModifyWrite methods on a Table.
For instance, to set a couple of cells in a table:
tbl := client.Open("mytable")
mut := bigtable.NewMutation()
// To use numeric values that will later be incremented,
// they need to be big-endian encoded as 64-bit integers.
buf := new(bytes.Buffer)
initialLinkCount := 1 // The initial number of links.
if err := binary.Write(buf, binary.BigEndian, initialLinkCount); err != nil {
// TODO: handle err.
}
mut.Set("links", "maps.google.com", bigtable.Now(), buf.Bytes())
mut.Set("links", "golang.org", bigtable.Now(), buf.Bytes())
err := tbl.Apply(ctx, "com.google.cloud", mut)
if err != nil {
// TODO: handle err.
}
To increment an encoded value in one cell:
tbl := client.Open("mytable")
rmw := bigtable.NewReadModifyWrite()
rmw.Increment("links", "golang.org", 12) // add 12 to the cell in column "links:golang.org"
r, err := tbl.ApplyReadModifyWrite(ctx, "com.google.cloud", rmw)
if err != nil {
// TODO: handle err.
}
// TODO: use r.
Retries
If a read or write operation encounters a transient error it will be retried
until a successful response, an unretryable error or the context deadline is
reached. Non-idempotent writes (where the timestamp is set to ServerTime) will
not be retried. In the case of ReadRows, retried calls will not re-scan rows
that have already been processed.
