It appears you're confusing Bigtable with Datastore (to be fair, Datastore is built on Megastore, which is built on Bigtable, so it's an understandable confusion), but let's be clear: Google Cloud Bigtable != Google Cloud Datastore.
The URL you cited about consistency models:
https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/articles/balancing-strong-and-eventual-consistency-with-google-cloud-datastore/ https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/articles/balancing-s...
is entirely about Datastore, but you referred to it as Bigtable.

- windlep 9y agoSorry about that, I had difficulty finding anything about the consistency model of BigTable. Upon further reading on SSTables and how BigTable distributes them across nodes, it appears there is full consistency but if a node goes down the data on it is inaccessible?
- wora 9y agoIf a node goes down, another node will replace it quickly. The node (aka tablet server) doesn't own any data. The data is stored on lower level storage layer.
