Solomon Duskis commented on BEAM-2395:
--------------------------------------
The python cloud bigtable client is missing some key features that the java
client has relating to robustness and performance. Specifically, the Java
client has a "smart retries" feature that allows writes and reads to proceed
despite temporary error conditions. The python client also needs use the "bulk
write" API for performance purposes.
Without those features, a python Cloud Bigtable connector should not be
considered ready for production. FWIW, there are ongoing efforts to add those
features.
