nodejs bigtable copy rows using filters like prefix

Question

Is it possible in Bigtable/nodejs-bigtable to do something similar to createReadStream but instead of first retrieving the rows just to write them back again I'm looking for a way to do this on the server like a insert into select from in sql

Answer 1

Cloud Bigtable does not offer any direct way to run application code on its servers.

Cloud Bigtable's general strategy of running high volume jobs is to suggest runing on Dataflow with the Cloud Bigtable HBase connector (although that requires java code).

That said, the specific implementation very much depends on your objectives. Any additional information about your use case would help.
