Async Data Client

v2.23.0 includes a release of the new BigtableDataClientAsync client, accessible at the import path google.cloud.bigtable.data.

The new client brings a simplified API and increased performance using asyncio. The new client is focused on the data API (i.e. reading and writing Bigtable data), with admin operations remaining exclusively in the existing synchronous client.

Feedback and bug reports are welcome at [e-mail], or through the Github issue tracker.

Note

It is generally not recommended to use the async client in an otherwise synchronous codebase. To make use of asyncio’s performance benefits, the codebase should be designed to be async from the ground up.

Quick Start

In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.

2. Enable billing for your project.

3. Enable the Cloud Bigtable API.

4. Setup Authentication.

Installation

Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.
