gcloud alpha bigtable instances tables create (TABLE : --instance=INSTANCE) --column-families=[COLUMN_FAMILIES,...] [--change-stream-retention-period=CHANGE_STREAM_RETENTION_PERIOD] [--deletion-protection] [--splits=[SPLITS,...]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) Create a new Cloud Bigtable table.
To create a table my-table in instance my-instance with a column family my-family, run:
$ gcloud alpha bigtable instances 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 alpha bigtable instances 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 alpha bigtable instances tables create my-table \ --instance=my-instance \ --column-families="my-family-1:maxage=10d,my-family-2:maxversion\ s=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 alpha bigtable instances 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 alpha bigtable instances 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 alpha bigtable instances tables create my-table \ --instance=my-instance --column-families="my-family" \ --no-deletion-protection
- 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.
- --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"
- --change-stream-retention-period=CHANGE_STREAM_RETENTION_PERIOD
Once a value is passed in, the Bigtable table is created with a change stream enabled; the value indicates how long the replication logs are kept and should be in the range of [1 day, 7 days]. For example: 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
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.
This command uses the bigtableadmin/v2 API. The full documentation for this API can be found at: https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
