The Cloud BigTable emulator can be used during development/test. See https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/emulator for general setup information.
Process:
- Run
gcloud beta emulators bigtable start
in the background - Run
$(gcloud beta emulators bigtable env-init)
to establish theBIGTABLE_EMULATOR_HOST
environment variable - Run
./init-bigtable.sh
to configure the emulator - Develop/test
Export a standard GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
environment variable to your
service account credentials. The project should contain a BigTable instance
called solana-ledger
that has been initialized by running the ./init-bigtable.sh
script.
Depending on what operation mode is required, either the
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigtable.data
or
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigtable.data.readonly
OAuth scope will be
requested using the provided credentials.
Export BIGTABLE_PROXY
environment variable for the forward proxy as you would
for HTTP_PROXY
. This will establish a tunnel through the forward proxy for
gRPC traffic (the tunneled traffic will still use TLS as normal).
