cbt: Search up to 5 rows in the current project by a specific regex pattern and print them.
$ cbt read "${table_name}" regex="${row_key_pattern}" count=${5}
try on your machine

This command is using the CBT (Cloud Bigtable) command-line tool to read data from a specific table in a Bigtable instance. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • cbt read: This is the command to read data from Bigtable using the CBT tool.
  • "${table_name}": This variable should be replaced with the actual name of the table from which you want to read data. It is in double quotes to provide the value as a string.
  • regex="${row_key_pattern}": This specifies a regular expression pattern to filter the row keys. Only the rows whose keys match the given regex pattern will be read. You should replace ${row_key_pattern} with the actual regular expression pattern you want to use.
  • count=${5}: This specifies the maximum number of rows to read. Here, 5 is the number of rows you want to fetch. You can change it according to your requirements.

Overall, this command is used to read data from a Bigtable table using the CBT tool, with optional filtering based on a regex pattern and a limit on the number of rows to be read.
