Google Cloud Bigtable is Google's NoSQL Big Data database service. It's the same database that powers many core Google services, including Search, Analytics, Maps, and Gmail.

Bigtable is designed to handle massive workloads at consistent low latency and high throughput, so it's a great choice for both operational and analytical applications, including IoT, user analytics, and financial data analysis.

Bigtable provisions and scales to hundreds of petabytes automatically, and can smoothly handle millions of operations per second. Changes to the deployment configuration are immediate, so there is no downtime during reconfiguration.

Bigtable integrates easily with popular Big Data tools like Hadoop, as well as Google Cloud Platform products like Cloud Dataflow and Dataproc. Plus, Bigtable supports the open-source, industry-standard HBase API, which makes it easy for development teams to get started.

Developing and testing

  1. Running mvn clean install will build and install Cloud Bigtable client artifacts to your local repository, and then run the unit tests.

  2. There is also a suite of integration tests that connect to a cluster you have access to via the authentication credentials that were loaded via the Google Cloud SDK configuration step (see above).

    Use the following command to run the integration tests:

    mvn clean integration-test \
        -PbigtableIntegrationTest \
        -Dgoogle.bigtable.project.id=[your cloud project id] \
        -Dgoogle.bigtable.instance.id=[your cloud bigtable instance id]
