setting ttl of google bigtable using gcloud

I was using aws dynamo db and used ttl property to delete record after some time but now i am moving to GCP,

In big table I can set expiration time for value hence I used Bigtable instead of Google Datastore

I know I can set that using Go CLI using command

cbt setgcpolicy my-table cf1 maxage=1d

But I want to set it using gcloud cli or while creating using console or deployment manager

Thanks in advance

You can't do this through gcloud or the Google Cloud Console. However, you can use the cbt tool, which is a component of the Cloud SDK (gcloud).

Also, this Deployment Manager example should help with setting GC rules:

tables:
  data:
    granularity: MILLIS
    columnFamilies:
      foo:
        gcRule:
          maxNumVersions: 2
      bar:
        gcRule:
          maxNumVersions: 2

The cbt tool is available as a Cloud SDK component. You can check if it is already installed by running following command:

gcloud components list

If it is not installed, you can run: 

gcloud components update
gcloud components install cbt

After that, you should be able to run the same cbt command in your cloud shell.
