table = instance.table(TABLE_ID)
row_key = "row_key_1"
row_data = table.read_row(row_key)

cell_values = row_data.cell_values(COLUMN_FAMILY_ID, COL_NAME1)

Parameters
- column_family_id (str) – The ID of the column family. Must be of the form [_a-zA-Z0-9][-_.a-zA-Z0-9]\*.
- column (bytes) – The column within the column family where the cells are located.
- max_count (int) – The maximum number of cells to use.
Returns

cell.value, cell.timestamp_micros
```
  for each cell in the list of cells
```
Return type

A generator which provides
Raises
- KeyError – If column_family_id is not among the cells stored in this row.
- KeyError – If column is not among the cells stored in this row for the given column_family_id.

property cells()

Property returning all the cells accumulated on this partial row.

For example:

from google.cloud.bigtable import Client

client = Client(admin=True)
instance = client.instance(INSTANCE_ID)
table = instance.table(TABLE_ID)
row_key = "row_key_1"
row_data = table.read_row(row_key)

cells = row_data.cells

Return type

dict
Returns

Dictionary of the Cell objects accumulated. This dictionary has two-levels of keys (first for column families and second for column names/qualifiers within a family). For a given column, a list of Cell objects is stored.

find_cells(column_family_id, column)

Get a time series of cells stored on this instance.

For example:

from google.cloud.bigtable import Client

client = Client(admin=True)
instance = client.instance(INSTANCE_ID)
table = instance.table(TABLE_ID)
row_key = "row_key_1"
row = table.read_row(row_key)

cells = row.find_cells(COLUMN_FAMILY_ID, COL_NAME2)

Parameters
- column_family_id (str) – The ID of the column family. Must be of the form [_a-zA-Z0-9][-_.a-zA-Z0-9]\*.
- column (bytes) – The column within the column family where the cells are located.
Returns

The cells stored in the specified column.
Return type

List[Cell]
Raises
- KeyError – If column_family_id is not among the cells stored in this row.
- KeyError – If column is not among the cells stored in this row for the given column_family_id.

property row_key()

Getter for the current (partial) row’s key.

Return type

bytes
Returns

The current (partial) row’s key.

to_dict()

Convert the cells to a dictionary.

This is intended to be used with HappyBase, so the column family and column qualiers are combined (with :).

Return type

dict
Returns

Dictionary containing all the data in the cells of this row.

class google.cloud.bigtable.row_data.PartialRowsData(read_method, request, retry=<google.api_core.retry.Retry object>, attempt_timeout=None, overall_timeout=None)

Bases: object

Convenience wrapper for consuming a ReadRows streaming response.

Parameters
- read_method (client._table_data_client.read_rows) – ReadRows method.
- request (data_messages_v2_pb2.ReadRowsRequest) – The ReadRowsRequest message used to create a ReadRowsResponse iterator. If the iterator fails, a new iterator is created, allowing the scan to continue from the point just beyond the last successfully read row, identified by self.last_scanned_row_key. The retry happens inside of the Retry class, using a predicate for the expected exceptions during iteration.
- retry (Retry) – (Optional) Retry delay and deadline arguments. To override, the default value DEFAULT_RETRY_READ_ROWS can be used and modified with the with_delay() method or the with_deadline() method.

_iter_()

Consume the ReadRowsResponse s from the stream. Read the rows and yield each to the reader

Parse the response and its chunks into a new/existing row in _rows. Rows are returned in order by row key.

cancel()

Cancels the iterator, closing the stream.

consume_all(max_loops=None)

Consume the streamed responses until there are no more.

WARNING: This method will be removed in future releases. Please use this class as a generator instead.

Parameters

max_loops (int) – (Optional) Maximum number of times to try to consume an additional ReadRowsResponse. You can use this to avoid long wait times.

property remaining_overall_timeout()

Returns the remaining deadline allotted for the entire stream. Returns a float of seconds

property state()

State machine state.

Return type

str
Returns

name of state corresponding to current row / chunk processing.
