Google Cloud Bigtable Client for Java

Java idiomatic client for Cloud Bigtable.

Maven Stability

Quickstart

If you are using Maven with BOM, add this to your pom.xml file:

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
      <artifactId>libraries-bom</artifactId>
      <version>26.20.0</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-cloud-bigtable</artifactId>
  </dependency>

If you are using Maven without the BOM, add this to your dependencies:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>google-cloud-bigtable</artifactId>
  <version>2.28.0</version>
</dependency>

If you are using Gradle 5.x or later, add this to your dependencies:

implementation platform('com.google.cloud:libraries-bom:26.25.0')

implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-bigtable'

If you are using Gradle without BOM, add this to your dependencies:

implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-bigtable:2.28.0'

If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies:

libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-bigtable" % "2.28.0"

Authentication

See the Authentication section in the base directory's README.

Authorization

The client application making API calls must be granted authorization scopes required for the desired Cloud Bigtable APIs, and the authenticated principal must have the IAM role(s) required to access GCP resources using the Cloud Bigtable API calls.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You will need a Google Cloud Platform Console project with the Cloud Bigtable API enabled.

Follow these instructions to get your project set up. You will also need to set up the local development environment by installing the Google Cloud Command Line Interface and running the following commands in command line: gcloud auth login and gcloud config set project [YOUR PROJECT ID].

Installation and setup

You'll need to obtain the google-cloud-bigtable library. See the Quickstart section to add google-cloud-bigtable as a dependency in your code.

About Cloud Bigtable

Cloud Bigtable

See the Cloud Bigtable client library docs to learn how to use this Cloud Bigtable Client Library.

About Cloud Bigtable

Cloud Bigtable is Google's NoSQL Big Data database service. It's the same database that powers many core Google services, including Search, Analytics, Maps, and Gmail.

Be sure to activate the Cloud Bigtable API and the Cloud Bigtable Admin API under APIs & Services in the GCP Console to use Cloud Bigtable from your project.

See the Bigtable client library documentation (Admin API and Data API) to learn how to interact with Cloud Bigtable using this Client Library.

Concepts

Cloud Bigtable is composed of instances, clusters, nodes and tables.

Instances

Instances are containers for clusters.

Clusters

Clusters represent the actual Cloud Bigtable service. Each cluster belongs to a single Cloud Bigtable instance, and an instance can have up to 4 clusters. When your application sends requests to a Cloud Bigtable instance, those requests are actually handled by one of the clusters in the instance.

Nodes

Each cluster in a production instance has 3 or more nodes, which are compute resources that Cloud Bigtable uses to manage your data.

Tables

Tables contain the actual data and are replicated across all of the clusters in an instance.

Clients

The Cloud Bigtable API consists of:

Data API

Allows callers to persist and query data in a table. It's exposed by BigtableDataClient.

Admin API

Allows callers to create and manage instances, clusters, tables, and access permissions. This API is exposed by: BigtableInstanceAdminClient for Instance and Cluster level resources.

See BigtableTableAdminClient for table management.

See BigtableDataClient for the data client.

See BigtableInstanceAdminClient for the instance admin client.

See BigtableTableAdminClient for the table admin client.

Calling Cloud Bigtable

The Cloud Bigtable API is split into 3 parts: Data API, Instance Admin API and Table Admin API.

Here is a code snippet showing simple usage of the Data API. Add the following imports at the top of your file:

import com.google.cloud.bigtable.data.v2.BigtableDataClient;
import com.google.cloud.bigtable.data.v2.models.Query;
import com.google.cloud.bigtable.data.v2.models.Row;

Then, to make a query to Bigtable, use the following code:

// Instantiates a client
String projectId = "my-project";
String instanceId = "my-instance";
String tableId = "my-table";

// Create the client.
// Please note that creating the client is a very expensive operation
// and should only be done once and shared in an application.
BigtableDataClient dataClient = BigtableDataClient.create(projectId, instanceId);

try {
  // Query a table
  Query query = Query.create(tableId)
      .range("a", "z")
      .limit(26);

  for (Row row : dataClient.readRows(query)) {
    System.out.println(row.getKey());
  }
} finally {
  dataClient.close();
}

The Admin APIs are similar. Here is a code snippet showing how to create a table. Add the following imports at the top of your file:

import static com.google.cloud.bigtable.admin.v2.models.GCRules.GCRULES;
import com.google.cloud.bigtable.admin.v2.BigtableTableAdminClient;
import com.google.cloud.bigtable.admin.v2.models.CreateTableRequest;
import com.google.cloud.bigtable.admin.v2.models.Table;

Then, to create a table, use the following code:

String projectId = "my-instance";
String instanceId = "my-database";

BigtableTableAdminClient tableAdminClient = BigtableTableAdminClient
  .create(projectId, instanceId);

try {
  tableAdminClient.createTable(
      CreateTableRequest.of("my-table")
        .addFamily("my-family")
  );
} finally {
  tableAdminClient.close();
}

TIP: If you are experiencing version conflicts with gRPC, see Version Conflicts.

Enabling client side metrics

Cloud Bigtable client supports publishing client side metrics to Cloud Monitoring under the bigtable.googleapis.com/client namespace.

This feature is available once you upgrade to version 2.16.0 and above. Follow the guide on https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/client-side-metrics-setup to enable.

Client request tracing: OpenCensus Tracing

Cloud Bigtable client supports OpenCensus Tracing, which gives insight into the client internals and aids in debugging production issues. By default, the functionality is disabled. For example to enable tracing using Google Stackdriver:

If you are using Maven, add this to your pom.xml file

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
  <artifactId>opencensus-impl</artifactId>
  <version>0.24.0</version>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
  <artifactId>opencensus-exporter-trace-stackdriver</artifactId>
  <version>0.24.0</version>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>io.grpc</groupId>
      <artifactId>*</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>com.google.auth</groupId>
      <artifactId>*</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>

If you are using Gradle, add this to your dependencies

compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-impl:0.24.0'
compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-exporter-trace-stackdriver:0.24.0'

If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies

libraryDependencies += "io.opencensus" % "opencensus-impl" % "0.24.0"
libraryDependencies += "io.opencensus" % "opencensus-exporter-trace-stackdriver" % "0.24.0"

At the start of your application configure the exporter:

import io.opencensus.exporter.trace.stackdriver.StackdriverTraceConfiguration;
import io.opencensus.exporter.trace.stackdriver.StackdriverTraceExporter;

StackdriverTraceExporter.createAndRegister(
  StackdriverTraceConfiguration.builder()
      .setProjectId("YOUR_PROJECT_ID")
      .build());

You can view the traces on the Google Cloud Platform Console Trace page.

By default traces are sampled at a rate of about 1/10,000. You can configure a higher rate by updating the active tracing params:

import io.opencensus.trace.Tracing;
import io.opencensus.trace.samplers.Samplers;

Tracing.getTraceConfig().updateActiveTraceParams(
    Tracing.getTraceConfig().getActiveTraceParams().toBuilder()
        .setSampler(Samplers.probabilitySampler(0.01))
        .build()
);

Enabling Cloud Bigtable Metrics: OpenCensus Stats


Note: We recommend enabling client side built-in metrics if you want to view your metrics on cloud monitoring. This integration is only for exporting the metrics to a third party dashboard.

Cloud Bigtable client supports Opencensus Metrics, which gives insight into the client internals and aids in debugging production issues. All Cloud Bigtable Metrics are prefixed with cloud.google.com/java/bigtable/. The metrics will be tagged with:

  • bigtable_project_id: the project that contains the target Bigtable instance. Please note that this id could be different from project that the client is running in and different from the project where the metrics are exported to.
  • bigtable_instance_id: the instance id of the target Bigtable instance
  • bigtable_app_profile_id: the app profile id that is being used to access the target Bigtable instance

Available operation level metric views:

  • cloud.google.com/java/bigtable/op_latency: A distribution of latency of each client method call, across all of it's RPC attempts. Tagged by operation name and final response status.

  • cloud.google.com/java/bigtable/completed_ops: The total count of method invocations. Tagged by operation name and final response status.

  • cloud.google.com/java/bigtable/read_rows_first_row_latency: A distribution of the latency of receiving the first row in a ReadRows operation.

  • cloud.google.com/java/bigtable/attempt_latency: A distribution of latency of each client RPC, tagged by operation name and the attempt status. Under normal circumstances, this will be identical to op_latency. However, when the client receives transient errors, op_latency will be the sum of all attempt_latencies and the exponential delays.

  • cloud.google.com/java/bigtable/attempts_per_op: A distribution of attempts that each operation required, tagged by operation name and final operation status. Under normal circumstances, this will be 1.

GFE metric views:

  • cloud.google.com/java/bigtable/gfe_latency: A distribution of the latency between Google's network receives an RPC and reads back the first byte of the response.

  • cloud.google.com/java/bigtable/gfe_header_missing_count: A counter of the number of RPC responses received without the server-timing header, which indicates that the request probably never reached Google's network.

By default, the functionality is disabled. For example to enable metrics using Google Stackdriver:

If you are using Maven, add this to your pom.xml file

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
  <artifactId>opencensus-impl</artifactId>
  <version>0.24.0</version>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
  <artifactId>opencensus-exporter-stats-stackdriver</artifactId>
  <version>0.24.0</version>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>io.grpc</groupId>
      <artifactId>*</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>com.google.auth</groupId>
      <artifactId>*</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>

If you are using Gradle, add this to your dependencies

compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-impl:0.24.0'
compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-exporter-stats-stackdriver:0.24.0'

If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies

libraryDependencies += "io.opencensus" % "opencensus-impl" % "0.24.0"
libraryDependencies += "io.opencensus" % "opencensus-exporter-stats-stackdriver" % "0.24.0"

At the start of your application configure the exporter and enable the Bigtable stats views:

import io.opencensus.exporter.stats.stackdriver.StackdriverStatsConfiguration;
import io.opencensus.exporter.stats.stackdriver.StackdriverStatsExporter;

StackdriverStatsExporter.createAndRegister(
    StackdriverStatsConfiguration.builder()
        .setProjectId("YOUR_PROJECT_ID")
        .build()
);

BigtableDataSettings.enableOpenCensusStats();
// Enable GFE metric views
BigtableDataSettings.enableGfeOpenCensusStats();

You can view the metrics on the Google Cloud Platform Console Metrics explorer page.

You can configure how frequently metrics are pushed to StackDriver and the Monitored resource type by updating StackdriverStatsConfiguration:

// Example: configuring export interval and monitored resource type
StackdriverStatsExporter.createAndRegister(
    StackdriverStatsConfiguration.builder()
        .setProjectId("YOUR_PROJECT_ID")
        // Exporting metrics every 10 seconds
        .setExportInterval(Duration.create(10, 0))
        // Configure monitored resource type. A common practice is to use the
        // monitored resource objects that represent the physical resources
        // where your application code is running. See the full list of
        // monitored resource type here:
        // https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/resources
        .setMonitoredResource(MonitoredResource.newBuilder()
            .setType("global")
            .putLabels("project_id", "YOUR_PROJECT_ID")
          .build())
        .build()
);

Version Conflicts

google-cloud-bigtable depends on gRPC directly which may conflict with the versions brought in by other libraries, for example Apache Beam. This happens because internal dependencies between gRPC libraries are pinned to an exact version of grpc-core (see here). If both google-cloud-bigtable and the other library bring in two gRPC libraries that depend on the different versions of grpc-core, then dependency resolution will fail. The easiest way to fix this is to depend on the gRPC bom, which will force all the gRPC transitive libraries to use the same version.

Add the following to your project's pom.xml.

    <dependencyManagement>
      <dependencies>
        <dependency>
          <groupId>io.grpc</groupId>
          <artifactId>grpc-bom</artifactId>
          <version>1.28.0</version>
          <type>pom</type>
          <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
      </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>

Container Deployment

While deploying this client in Google Kubernetes Engine(GKE) with CoS. Please make sure to provide CPU configuration in your deployment file. With default configuration JVM detects only 1 CPU, which affects the number of channels with the client, resulting in performance repercussion.

Also, The number of grpc-nio-worker-ELG-1-# thread is same as number of CPUs. These are managed by a single grpc-default-executor-# thread, which is shared among multiple client instances.

For example:

appVersion: v1
...
spec:
  ...
  container:
    resources:
      requests:
        cpu: "1" # Here 1 represents 100% of single node CPUs whereas other than 1 represents the number of CPU it would use from a node.

see Assign CPU Resources to Containers for more information.

Troubleshooting

To get help, follow the instructions in the shared Troubleshooting document.

Supported Java Versions

Java 8 or above is required for using this client.

Google's Java client libraries, Google Cloud Client Libraries and Google Cloud API Libraries, follow the Oracle Java SE support roadmap (see the Oracle Java SE Product Releases section).

For new development

In general, new feature development occurs with support for the lowest Java LTS version covered by Oracle's Premier Support (which typically lasts 5 years from initial General Availability). If the minimum required JVM for a given library is changed, it is accompanied by a semver major release.

Java 11 and (in September 2021) Java 17 are the best choices for new development.

Keeping production systems current

Google tests its client libraries with all current LTS versions covered by Oracle's Extended Support (which typically lasts 8 years from initial General Availability).

Legacy support

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Java runtimes with long term stable libraries that don't receive feature updates on a best efforts basis as it may not be possible to backport all patches.

Google provides updates on a best efforts basis to apps that continue to use Java 7, though apps might need to upgrade to current versions of the library that supports their JVM.

Where to find specific information

The latest versions and the supported Java versions are identified on the individual GitHub repository github.com/GoogleAPIs/java-SERVICENAME and on google-cloud-java.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.
