Is it possible to drop/skip the first N Rows in BigTable?
I'm trying to perform pagination for an API endpoint with BigTable outputs.
The closest filter is: CellsRowOffsetFilter (BigTable Documentation)
However, this filter only skips the N versions of the cell, and not the output row.
It's possible to drop the first N rows using iterators, but this will consume BigTable's read throughput, which doesn't seem like a good idea.
One approach as discussed in the comments to your question, would be to read some number of rows using a row limit, then pass the row key of the last row in the response as the start_key for the next request.
