//! BigTable backend for high-volume, low-latency storage of small objects.
//!
//! # Row Format
//!
//! Each row key is the object's storage path. A row contains either an **object** or a
//! **tombstone** — never both. The two layouts are mutually exclusive and distinguished by
//! column presence:
//!
//! | Column | Family    | Content                     | Present when       |
//! |--------|-----------|-----------------------------|--------------------|
//! | `p`    | `fg`/`fm` | Compressed payload bytes    | Object row only    |
//! | `m`    | `fg`/`fm` | [`Metadata`] JSON           | Object row only    |
//! | `r`    | `fg`/`fm` | Redirect path to LT storage | Tombstone row only |
//! | `t`    | `fg`/`fm` | [`Tombstone`] metadata JSON | Tombstone row only |
//!
//! The `r` column signals a tombstone row: its **value** is the long-term `ObjectId`
//! serialized via `as_storage_path()`. Callers can resolve the LT object directly from the
//! `r` value without reconstructing it from the row key.
//!
//! `p`/`m` and `r`/`t` are mutually exclusive. Every write begins with a `DeleteFromRow`
//! mutation that clears all columns before writing the new cells, so mixed rows cannot exist.
//!
//! ## Legacy Tombstone Format
//!
//! Tombstones written before the `r`/`t` column layout used the object-row format with an
//! empty `p` column and `"is_redirect_tombstone": true` in the `m` JSON. Both formats are
//! supported for reading. A `bigtable.legacy_tombstone_read` metric is emitted on each legacy
//! read. Legacy tombstones expire naturally by TTL/GC; TTI bumps transparently upgrade them
//! to the new format.
