@liufuyang thanks for submitting. Anything is possible, will do some preliminary investigation and get back to you

Thank you. And if there is some simple task others can help with, please let me know as well :)

Yes it is possible! Check out https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/tree/master/storage-bigtable. The code in src/lib.rs is specific to my project, but the remainder of this crate should be generic and reusable. Using just the gRPC interface is a little painful at times (such as decoding a read_rows response) so I think there's still value in building a Rust-specific API over the protobuf

[liufuyang]

I see. Thank you for the info 👍

@mvines I used quite some of your code and started on an idea here https://github.com/liufuyang/bigtable_rs
I hope it's okey to borrow some of the code you have in your project?
@durch I hope it's okay that I am trying of a slightly different approach to try to make a bigtable client, as in the future when I am about to use the client in my backend, the performance will be an important to the application I am working on.
