Given a table with no column family since we want to store only the rowkey,
cbt ls alert_lut
Family Name GC Policy
----------- ---------
and an input file
head file.csv

227156697#1#ANT2020jhyg4

266967569#1#ANT2022643j2nii6jc8

when running cbt import alert_lut file.csv it returns
2022/10/17 12:15:44 error parsing headers: at least 2 columns are required (rowkey + data)
I've tried adding a columnfamily and using
head file.csv
,
185418825#1#ANT2018cjdkc,
227156697#1#ANT2020jhyg4,
3382811056#1#ANT2021kr2f2,
54520783939#1#ANT2020wlymk,
52841617510#1#ANT2019csrqk,
49914774751#1#ANT2019ankba,
and it returns
2022/10/17 12:22:18 error parsing headers: the first column must be empty for column-family and column name rows
Bigtable tables do require a column family and column. One common approach for developers in this situation is to just use a single character for each. This takes up the least amount of space possible and shouldn't add too much extra overhead.
An example would be column family a and column a
