Cloud Bigtable Client Libraries

This page shows how to get started with the Cloud Client Libraries for the Cloud Bigtable API. Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs in Client Libraries Explained.

Installing the client library

C++

See the GitHub README for details about this client library's requirements and install dependencies.

C#

For more information, see Setting Up a C# Development Environment.

Install-Package Google.Cloud.Bigtable.V2 -Pre
Install-Package Google.Cloud.Bigtable.Admin.V2 -Pre

Go

For more information, see Setting Up a Go Development Environment.

go get -u cloud.google.com/go/bigtable

Java

For more information, see Setting Up a Java Development Environment.

Maven을 사용하는 경우 pom.xml 파일에 다음을 추가합니다. BOM에 대한 자세한 내용은 Google Cloud Platform 라이브러리 BOM을 참조하세요.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>google-cloud-bigtable</artifactId>
  <version>1.13.0</version>
</dependency>

Gradle을 사용하는 경우 종속 항목에 다음을 추가합니다.

compile 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-bigtable:1.13.0'

SBT를 사용하는 경우 종속 항목에 다음을 추가합니다.

libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-bigtable" % "1.13.0"

HBase

The Cloud Bigtable HBase client for Java includes the following Maven artifacts that you can use in your project. All of the artifacts are based on HBase 1.x:

bigtable-hbase-1.x: Use this artifact for standalone applications where you control your dependencies.
bigtable-hbase-1.x-hadoop: Use this artifact for Hadoop environments.
bigtable-hbase-1.x-shaded: Use this artifact for environments other than Hadoop that require older versions of the HBase client for Java's dependencies, such as protobuf and Guava.

The Cloud Bigtable Maven artifacts include the netty-tcnative-boringssl-static library, which requires that you use Linux, macOS, or Windows on an x86 64-bit processor.

If your application runs in the App Engine standard environment, you must use a current version of the Java runtime. The Java 7 runtime is deprecated and does not support the HBase client for Java.

The following examples assume that you are using the bigtable-hbase-1.x artifact.

Maven을 사용하는 경우 pom.xml 파일에 다음을 추가합니다. BOM에 대한 자세한 내용은 Google Cloud Platform 라이브러리 BOM을 참조하세요.

  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.cloud.bigtable</groupId>
    <artifactId>bigtable-hbase-1.x</artifactId>
    <version>1.14.1</version>
  </dependency>

Gradle을 사용하는 경우 종속 항목에 다음을 추가합니다.

  compile 'com.google.cloud.bigtable:bigtable-hbase-1.x:1.14.1'

sbt를 사용하는 경우 종속 항목에 다음을 추가합니다.

  libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud.bigtable" % "bigtable-hbase-1.x" % "1.14.1"

Node.js

For more information, see Setting Up a Node.js Development Environment.

npm install --save @google-cloud/bigtable

PHP

For more information, see Using PHP on Google Cloud.

Install and enable the gRPC extension for PHP, then run the following command:

composer require google/cloud-bigtable

Python

For more information, see Setting Up a Python Development Environment.

pip install --upgrade google-cloud-bigtable

Ruby

For more information, see Setting Up a Ruby Development Environment.

gem install google-cloud-bigtable

Setting up authentication

To run the client library, you must first set up authentication by creating a service account and setting an environment variable. Complete the following steps to set up authentication. For other ways to authenticate, see the GCP authentication documentation.

Cloud Console

Cloud Console에서 서비스 계정 키 만들기 페이지로 이동합니다.
서비스 계정 키 만들기 페이지로 이동
서비스 계정 목록에서 새 서비스 계정을 선택합니다.
서비스 계정 이름 필드에 이름을 입력합니다.
역할 목록에서 프로젝트 > 소유자를 선택합니다.

참고: 역할 필드가 리소스에 액세스할 수 있도록 서비스 계정을 승인합니다. 나중에 Cloud Console을 사용하여 이 필드를 보고 변경할 수 있습니다. 프로덕션 애플리케이션을 개발하는 경우 프로젝트 > 소유자보다 세부적인 권한을 지정합니다. 자세한 내용은 서비스 계정에 역할 부여를 참조하세요.
만들기를 클릭합니다. 키가 포함된 JSON 파일이 컴퓨터에 다운로드됩니다.

명령줄

로컬 머신 또는 Cloud Shell에서 Cloud SDK를 사용하여 다음 명령어를 실행할 수 있습니다.

서비스 계정을 만듭니다. [NAME]을 서비스 계정 이름으로 바꿉니다.
```
gcloud iam service-accounts create [NAME]
```
서비스 계정에 권한을 부여합니다. [PROJECT_ID]를 프로젝트 ID로 바꿉니다.
```
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding [PROJECT_ID] --member "serviceAccount:[NAME]@[PROJECT_ID].iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role "roles/owner"
```
참고: 역할 필드가 리소스에 액세스할 수 있도록 서비스 계정을 승인합니다. 이 필드는 나중에 Cloud Console을 사용하여 보고 변경할 수 있습니다. 프로덕션 애플리케이션을 개발하는 경우 프로젝트 > 소유자보다 세부적인 권한을 지정합니다. 자세한 내용은 서비스 계정에 역할 부여를 참조하세요.

키 파일을 생성합니다. [FILE_NAME]을 키 파일 이름으로 바꿉니다.

gcloud iam service-accounts keys create [FILE_NAME].json --iam-account [NAME]@[PROJECT_ID].iam.gserviceaccount.com

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS 환경 변수를 설정하여 애플리케이션 코드에 사용자 인증 정보를 제공합니다. [PATH]를 서비스 계정 키가 포함된 JSON 파일의 파일 경로로 바꿉니다. 이 변수는 현재 셸 세션에만 적용되므로 새 세션을 연 경우 변수를 다시 설정합니다.

Linux 또는 macOS

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="[PATH]"

예를 들면 다음과 같습니다.

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/home/user/Downloads/my-key.json"

Windows

PowerShell:

$env:GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="[PATH]"

예를 들면 다음과 같습니다.

$env:GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="C:\Users\username\Downloads\my-key.json"

명령어 프롬프트:

set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=[PATH]

Using the client library

The following example shows how to use the client library. The example connects to a Cloud Bigtable instance and reads a row from a table.

If you haven't stored any data in Cloud Bigtable yet, you can use the cbt command-line tool to create a table and add some data. See the quickstart using cbt for instructions.

Third-party Cloud Bigtable API client libraries

Scio

The Scio client library provides a Scala API for Dataflow, which can read from and write to Cloud Bigtable. The Scio repository provides sample code for a Dataflow pipeline that uses Cloud Bigtable.
