[jira] [Commented] (BEAM-2395) BigtableIO for Python SDK

["Solomon Duskis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2395?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16056286#comment-16056286 ] 

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.
