[BigTable] Insert new record with the existing row_key multiple times? #2677
Description
Is it possible to append additional rows with the existing 'rowkey' in Bigtable?
it seems when I call
from operator import itemgetter import random def get_row_key(record, template): attrs = itemgetter(*template) vals = attrs(record) return '#'.join((str(v) for v in vals) # main record = dict( user=random.randint(10, 1000), viewability=30, developer=1, advertiser=2, campaign=3, game=4, spot=5, asset=6, sex='m', age=50, browser='chrome', browser_ver='55', os='android', os_ver='5.0', mobile=True, desktop=False, country='us', ip_addr='127.0.0.1', created=1478218018, tick_size=5, session='aaaa' is_generic=False ) # pattern used in itemgetter rowkey = ('asset', 'created', 'advertiser') row = table.row(get_row_key(record, pattern)) for column, val in record.items(): row.set_cell('stat', column, val) row.commit()so if I run code against the same record 3 times (which will produce the same rowkey for the row) I only get a single row. It seems 1st row is inserted, and then 2nd and 3rd mutate the same row. How to make it append? (OR row_key HAS TO BE UNIQUE?)
thanks,
Dmitry
