Google Bigtable connector details
The Google Cloud Bigtable materialization connector in Estuary delivers data from Estuary collections into tables in a Google Cloud Bigtable instance. Each materialization binding writes to a Bigtable table, with row keys derived from the source collection’s primary key.
- Materializes Estuary collections directly into Google Cloud Bigtable tables
- One Bigtable table per materialization binding
- Row keys derived from the Estuary collection key, including support for composite keys
- Automatic creation of destination tables and the
**f**column family - Selected fields stored as Bigtable columns, with the full source document also stored as JSON
- Soft deletes by default, represented through
_meta/op - Optional hard deletes to remove rows from Bigtable when records are deleted upstream
- Google Cloud service account authentication using JSON credentials
- Google Cloud IAM / Workload Identity Federation authentication
- Custom Bigtable endpoint support for Bigtable-compatible APIs
Composite collection keys are encoded so their lexicographic ordering is preserved, which makes prefix-based range scans efficient in Bigtable. The connector stores projected fields individually and also stores the full root document in the flow_document column by default.
