cbt lookup "{{table_name}}" "{{row_key}}" cells-per-column={{1}}

• Display a single row with only specific column(s) (omit qualifier to return entire family) in the current project:

cbt lookup "{{table_name}}" "{{row_key}}" columns="{{family1:qualifier1,family2:qualifier2,...}}"

cbt read "{{table_name}}" regex="{{row_key_pattern}}" count={{5}}

• Read a specific range of rows and print only returned row keys in the current project:

cbt read {{table_name}} start={{start_row_key}} end={{end_row_key}} keys-only=true
