Google Cloud Bigtable: Python

This library is an alpha implementation of Google Cloud Bigtable and is closely related to gcloud-python.

API requests are sent to the Google Cloud Bigtable API via RPC over HTTP/2. In order to support this, we’ll rely on gRPC. We are working with the gRPC team to rapidly make the install story more user-friendly.

Get started by learning about the Client on the Base for Everything page. If you have install questions, check out the project’s README.

In the hierarchy of API concepts

• a Client owns a Cluster
• a Cluster owns a Table
• a Table owns a ColumnFamily
• a Table owns a Row (and all the cells in the row)
