Description

PR https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/issues/103 added support for Google Cloud Bigtable via the HBase backend, but the tests are only being run using HBase. We should add tests to run against the Bigtable emulator.

@lindsayismith, I believe you ran the HBase test suite manually with the Bigtable emulator when you made the changes in PR #103; would you mind adding an automated way to run it so that they run every time with Travis CI to ensure that everything continues to work properly with the Bigtable backend?

It would also be good to verify that any new changes, as well as new client library versions, continue to work well with JanusGraph + Bigtable, and this would be the way to do it.

Research direction
Refer to PR #103 for the existing Bigtable support implementation. Set up the Bigtable emulator following Google Cloud documentation. Add a test suite that runs automatically via Travis CI to verify Bigtable backend functionality. The test configuration likely resides in the project's build files, such as pom.xml for Maven.
