Hi dev, We're starting to incorporate BigTable in our stack and I've delighted my co-workers with how easy it was to create some BigTables with Beam... but there doesn't appear to be a reader for BigTable in Python.
First off, is there a good reason why not/any reason why it would be difficult? I could write one, but before I start, I'd love some input to make it easier. It appears that there would be two options: either write one in Python, or try to set one up with x-language from Java which I see is done e.g. with the Spanner IO Connector. Any recommendation on which one to pick or potential pitfalls in either choice? If I write one in Python, what should I think about? It is not obvious to me how to achieve parallelization, so any tips here would be welcome. Thanks! -Lina
