Description
gc_rule
google.cloud.bigtable_admin_v2.types.GcRule
Garbage collection rule specified as a
protobuf. Must serialize to at most 500 bytes.
NOTE: Garbage collection executes
opportunistically in the background, and so it's
possible for reads to return a cell even if it
matches the active GC expression for its family.
value_type
google.cloud.bigtable_admin_v2.types.Type
The type of data stored in each of this family's cell
values, including its full encoding. If omitted, the family
only serves raw untyped bytes.
For now, only the Aggregate type is supported.
Aggregate can only be set at family creation and is
immutable afterwards.
If value_type is Aggregate, written data must be
compatible with:
- value_type.input_type for AddInput mutations
