It may first be worth carifying exactly what you talking about. 'BigTable' as such isnt a product you can use directly. Its a technology developed at Google, and powers many of their projects.
The closest thing in AppEngine is the Datastore https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/ Its built with BigTable, but exposes a specific API. (and so can do stuff Bigtable cant do itself) And for analytical queries, you probably want https://developers.google.com/bigquery/ which is a separate service. It might or might not be built with BigTable under the hood. I dont understand the quote you provided either, but read more about the capablities of the datastore (or bigquery!) at the links above.
