Response: This code snippet uses the Apache Beam BigtableIO connector to read data from a Bigtable table.

The BigTableReadOptions interface defines the options that can be configured when running the pipeline. In this case, it specifies the Bigtable instance name, table name, and project ID. The --bigTableInstance, --tableName, and --bigTableProject command-line arguments set these values when running the pipeline. The @Description annotation provides a description of each option, while the @Default.String annotation sets their default values.

public interface BigTableReadOptions extends DataflowPipelineOptions {
         @Description("Bigtable instance name")
         @Default.String("quickstart-instance")
         String getBigTableInstance();

         void setBigTableInstance(String value);

         @Description("Bigtable table name")
         @Default.String("my-table")
         String getTableName();

         void setTableName(String value);

         @Nullable
         @Description("Bigtable Project ID")
         String getBigTableProject();

         void setBigTableProject(String value);
     }

In the main method, the PipelineOptionsFactory class creates a BigTableReadOptions object from the command-line arguments. The Pipeline.create method then creates a new pipeline with the specified options. The project variable is set to the Bigtable project ID, or the default project ID if the --bigTableProject option is not provided.

        BigTableReadOptions options = PipelineOptionsFactory.fromArgs(args).withValidation().as(BigTableReadOptions.class);

         String project = (options.getBigTableProject() == null) ? options.getProject() : options.getBigTableProject();
        Pipeline p = Pipeline.create(options);

The pipeline reads data from the specified Bigtable table using the BigtableIO.read() method, which takes the instance ID, project ID, and table ID as parameters.

 p
                 .apply(BigtableIO.read()
                         .withInstanceId(options.getBigTableInstance())
                         .withProjectId(project)
                         .withTableId(options.getTableName())
                 )

Next, the pipeline applies a ParDo transform to process each Row read from the Bigtable table. The processElement method of the DoFn class is used to process each row. The code iterates over the families, columns, and cells of the row to construct a string representation of the row data. The row key, family name, column qualifier, cell value, and timestamp are included in the output string. The code logs the string using the LOG.info() logging method and outputs it to the pipeline using the c.output() method.

                 .apply("Process Row", ParDo.of(new DoFn<Row, String>() {
                             @ProcessElement
                             public void processElement(ProcessContext c) {
                                 Row row = c.element();
                                 DateTimeFormatter format = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");

                                 StringBuilder rowString = new StringBuilder("BigQuery Row: " + row.getKey().toStringUtf8());
                                 for (Family family : row.getFamiliesList()) {
                                     StringBuilder familyString = new StringBuilder("\t Family: " + family.getName());
                                     for (Column column : family.getColumnsList()) {
                                         StringBuilder columnString = new StringBuilder("\t\t Column: " + column.getQualifier().toStringUtf8());

                                         for (Cell cell : column.getCellsList()) {
                                             String timestamp = Instant.ofEpochMilli(cell.getTimestampMicros() / 1000).toString(format);
                                             String cellString = "\t\t\t Cell: " + cell.getValue().toStringUtf8()
                                                     + " at " + timestamp;

                                             columnString.append("\n").append(cellString);
                                         }
                                         familyString.append("\n").append(columnString);
                                     }
                                     rowString.append("\n").append(familyString);
                                 }

                                 LOG.info(rowString.toString());
                                 c.output(rowString.toString());
                             }
                         })
                 );

Finally, the run method executes the pipeline.

         p.run();
