NAME
    gcloud bigtable tables create - create a new Cloud Bigtable table

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud bigtable tables create (TABLE : --instance=INSTANCE)
        --column-families=[COLUMN_FAMILIES,...]
        [--change-stream-retention-period=CHANGE_STREAM_RETENTION_PERIOD]
        [--deletion-protection] [--enable-automated-backup]
        [--splits=[SPLITS,...]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    Create a new Cloud Bigtable table.

EXAMPLES
    To create a table my-table in instance my-instance with a column family
    my-family, run:

        $ gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance \
            --column-families="my-family"

    To create a table that has a column family named my-instance, a garbage
    collection policy that lets data expire after 864,000 seconds, and initial
    table splits on row keys car and key, run:

        $ gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance \
            --column-families="my-family:maxage=864000s" --splits=car,key

    To create a table my-table in instance my-instance that lets data in column
    family my-family1 expire after 10 days and keeps a maximum of 5 cells per
    column in column family my-family-2 if the data is less than 5 days old,
    run:

        $ gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance \
            --column-families="my-family-1:maxage=10d,my-family-2:maxversion\
        s=5||maxage=5d"

    To create a table my-table that has one column family my-family that lets
    data expire after 10 days, and to enable a change stream for the table to
    be kept for 7 days, run:

        $ gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance \
            --column-families="my-family:maxage=10d" \
            --change-stream-retention-period=7d

    To create a deletion-protected table my-table in instance my-instance with
    a column family my-family, run:

        $ gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance \
            --column-families="my-family" --deletion-protection

    To create a table my-table without deletion protection in instance
    my-instance with a column family my-family, run:

        $ gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance \
            --column-families="my-family" --no-deletion-protection

    To create a table my-table with automated backup policy
    (retention_period=72h, frequency=24h) enabled in instance my-instance with
    a column family my-family, run:

        $ gcloud bigtable tables create my-table --instance=my-instance \
            --column-families="my-family" --enable-automated-backup

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Table resource - Cloud Bigtable table to create. The arguments in this
     group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some
     attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other
     ways.

     To set the project attribute:
      ◆ provide the argument table on the command line with a fully specified
        name;
      ◆ provide the argument --project on the command line;
      ◆ set the property core/project.

     This must be specified.

       TABLE
          ID of the table or fully qualified identifier for the table.

          To set the table attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument table on the command line.

          This positional argument must be specified if any of the other
          arguments in this group are specified.

       --instance=INSTANCE
          Name of the Cloud Bigtable instance.

          To set the instance attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument table on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --instance on the command line.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     --column-families=[COLUMN_FAMILIES,...]
        A double-quote (") wrapped list of family name and corresponding
        garbage collection rules concatenated by :, where the rules are
        optional. For example: \
        "family_1,family_2:maxage=5d&&maxversions=2,family_3:maxage=10d||maxversions=5"

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --change-stream-retention-period=CHANGE_STREAM_RETENTION_PERIOD
        The length of time to retain change stream data for the table, in the
        range of [1 day, 7 days]. Acceptable units are days (d), hours (h),
        minutes (m), and seconds (s). Passing in a value for this option
        enables a change stream for the table. Examples: 5d or 48h.

     --deletion-protection
        Once specified, the table is deletion protected.

     --enable-automated-backup
        Once set, enables the default automated backup policy
        (retention_period=72h, frequency=24h) for the table.

     --splits=[SPLITS,...]
        Row keys where the table should initially be split. For example:
        car,key

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
