gcloud bigtable tables create

NAME: gcloud bigtable tables create - create a new Cloud Bigtable table
SYNOPSIS: gcloud bigtable tables create (TABLE : --instance=INSTANCE) --column-families=[COLUMN_FAMILIES,…] [--change-stream-retention-period=CHANGE_STREAM_RETENTION_PERIOD] [--deletion-protection] [--splits=[SPLITS,…]] [--automated-backup-retention-period=AUTOMATED_BACKUP_RETENTION_PERIOD | --enable-automated-backup] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION: Create a new Cloud Bigtable table.
EXAMPLES: To create a table my-table in instance my-instance with a column family my-family, run:
gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance --column-families="my-family"

To create a table that has a column family named my-instance, a garbage collection policy that lets data expire after 864,000 seconds, and initial table splits on row keys car and key, run:
gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance --column-families="my-family:maxage=864000s" --splits=car,key

To create a table my-table in instance my-instance that lets data in column family my-family1 expire after 10 days and keeps a maximum of 5 cells per column in column family my-family-2 if the data is less than 5 days old, run:
gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance --column-families="my-family-1:maxage=10d,my-family-2:maxversions=5||maxage=5d"

To create a table my-table that has one column family my-family that lets data expire after 10 days, and to enable a change stream for the table to be kept for 7 days, run:
gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance --column-families="my-family:maxage=10d" --change-stream-retention-period=7d

To create a deletion-protected table my-table in instance my-instance with a column family my-family, run:
gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance --column-families="my-family" --deletion-protection

To create a table my-table without deletion protection in instance my-instance with a column family my-family, run:
gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance --column-families="my-family" --no-deletion-protection

To create a table my-table with the default automated backup policy (retention_period=7d, frequency=1d) enabled in instance my-instance with a column family my-family, run:
gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance --column-families="my-family" --enable-automated-backup

To create a table my-table with a custom automated backup policy configured to retain backups for 30 days in instance my-instance with a column family my-family, run:
gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance --column-families="my-family" --automated-backup-retention_period=30d
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS: Table resource - Cloud Bigtable table to create. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.
To set the project attribute:

provide the argument table on the command line with a fully specified name;

provide the argument --project on the command line;

set the property core/project.

This must be specified.

TABLE

ID of the table or fully qualified identifier for the table.
To set the table attribute:

provide the argument table on the command line.

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--instance=INSTANCE

Name of the Cloud Bigtable instance.
To set the instance attribute:

provide the argument table on the command line with a fully specified name;

provide the argument --instance on the command line.
REQUIRED FLAGS: --column-families=[COLUMN_FAMILIES,…]

A double-quote (") wrapped list of family name and corresponding garbage collection rules concatenated by :, where the rules are optional. For example: \ "family_1,family_2:maxage=5d&&maxversions=2,family_3:maxage=10d||maxversions=5"
OPTIONAL FLAGS: --change-stream-retention-period=CHANGE_STREAM_RETENTION_PERIOD

The length of time to retain change stream data for the table, in the range of [1 day, 7 days]. Acceptable units are days (d), hours (h), minutes (m), and seconds (s). Passing in a value for this option enables a change stream for the table. Examples: 5d or 48h.

--deletion-protection

Once specified, the table is deletion protected.

--splits=[SPLITS,…]

Row keys where the table should initially be split. For example: car,key

At most one of these can be specified:

--automated-backup-retention-period=AUTOMATED_BACKUP_RETENTION_PERIOD

The retention period of automated backup in the format of 30d for 30 days. Min retention period is 3d and max is 90d. Setting this flag will enable automated backup for the table.

--enable-automated-backup

Once set, enables the default automated backup policy (retention_period=7d, frequency=1d) for the table.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS: These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
