Dataflow Bigtable IO
Google Cloud Dataflow is able to read data from and write results to Bigtable using the experimental Bigtable IO. This is a great option for tasks that are computationally intensive, may be highly parallelized, or deal with unbounded data. The Dataflow Bigtable IO may also be considered when looking at how to prepare data before initially persisting to Bigtable. This is especially true when looking to persist highly normalized data from external systems, as Bigtable requires this data to be extensively flattened.
