Class ReadRowsResponse.Types.CellChunk (2.2.0)

Specifies a piece of a row's contents returned as part of the read response stream.

Indicates that the client can safely process all previous chunks for row_key, as its data has been fully read.

The column family name for this chunk of data. If this message is not present this CellChunk is a continuation of the same column family as the previous CellChunk. The empty string can occur as a column family name in a response so clients must check explicitly for the presence of this message, not just for family_name.value being non-empty.

Labels applied to the cell by a [RowFilter][google.bigtable.v2.RowFilter]. Labels are only set on the first CellChunk per cell.

The column qualifier for this chunk of data. If this message is not present, this CellChunk is a continuation of the same column as the previous CellChunk. Column qualifiers may be empty so clients must check for the presence of this message, not just for qualifier.value being non-empty.

Indicates that the client should drop all previous chunks for row_key, as it will be re-read from the beginning.

The row key for this chunk of data. If the row key is empty, this CellChunk is a continuation of the same row as the previous CellChunk in the response stream, even if that CellChunk was in a previous ReadRowsResponse message.

The cell's stored timestamp, which also uniquely identifies it within its column. Values are always expressed in microseconds, but individual tables may set a coarser granularity to further restrict the allowed values. For example, a table which specifies millisecond granularity will only allow values of timestamp_micros which are multiples of

1. Timestamps are only set in the first CellChunk per cell (for cells split into multiple chunks).

The value stored in the cell. Cell values can be split across multiple CellChunks. In that case only the value field will be set in CellChunks after the first: the timestamp and labels will only be present in the first CellChunk, even if the first CellChunk came in a previous ReadRowsResponse.

If this CellChunk is part of a chunked cell value and this is not the final chunk of that cell, value_size will be set to the total length of the cell value. The client can use this size to pre-allocate memory to hold the full cell value.
