You need to confirm the latest value stored for the row whose key is "cust-42" in the Bigtable table "orders". You are working from Cloud Shell and the Cloud SDK is already configured for the correct project and Bigtable instance. Which command lets you retrieve only that single row with the least additional flags or filtering?
The cbt CLI provides two primary data-access sub-commands: read and lookup. The read command is intended for scanning ranges and prefixes, while lookup is optimized for fetching exactly one row and therefore requires only the table name and the row key. Because Cloud Shell already has application-default credentials and your cbt tool is configured, running "cbt lookup orders cust-42" will immediately return the cells for that row. Using read, ranges, or bq commands would either return more rows, need extra flags, or query a different service entirely.
