How Nosql like Bigtable stores image data?

Answer 1

Cloud Bigtable has a binary key and binary values. (It also has families and qualifiers, but that's not too important for this question). There's also a 10MB size limit for values. If you have small images, then you can put the image in the Cell value. You can put other classification data in other cell values.
