Question

All Google Cloud Bigtable client requests go through a front-end server ______ they are sent to a Cloud Bigtable node.

Options

Conly if

Why each option

Cloud Bigtable routes every client request through a front-end server pool before the request reaches a Bigtable storage node.

Abefore

Bafter

The front-end server is not a post-processing step; it precedes the Bigtable node in the request path and must route the request before any node processes it.

Conly if

The front-end server is not conditional; it handles every client request unconditionally regardless of request type, data size, or access pattern.
