Functions
DeleteFromColumn(std::string, ColumnType &&, std::chrono::duration< Rep1, Period1 >, std::chrono::duration< Rep2, Period2 >)
Create mutations to delete a range of cells from a column.
The following functions create a mutation that deletes all the cells in the given column family and, column within the given timestamp in the range.
The function accepts any instantiation of std::chrono::duration<> for the timestamp_begin and timestamp_end parameters. For example:
using namespace std::chrono_literals; // C++14
bigtable::DeleteFromColumn("fam", "col", 0us, 10us)
The ending timestamp is exclusive, while the beginning timestamp is inclusive. That is, the interval is [timestamp_begin, timestamp_end). The value 0 is special and treated as "unbounded" for both the begin and end endpoints of the time range. The Cloud Bigtable server rejects invalid and empty ranges, i.e., any range where the endpoint is smaller or equal than to the initial endpoint unless either endpoint is 0.

Type Aliases
ColumnQualifierType
std::decay_t< decltype(std::declval< google::bigtable::v2::Column >().qualifier())>
Defines the type for column qualifiers.
Inside Google some protobuf fields of type bytes are mapped to a different type than std::string. This is the case for column qualifiers. We use this type to automatically detect what is the representation for this field and use the correct mapping.
External users of the Cloud Bigtable C++ client library should treat this as a complicated typedef for std::string. We have no plans to change the type in the external version of the C++ client library for the foreseeable future. In the eventuality that we do decide to change the type, this would be a reason update the library major version number, and we would give users time to migrate.
In other words, external users of the Cloud Bigtable C++ client should simply write std::string where this type appears. For Google projects that must compile both inside and outside Google, this alias may be convenient.
