Description

Google has made available a Python API to access his Cloud Big Table: https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/google-cloud-python/stable/index.html

It might quite useful to add connector using this API into odo.

Research direction
First, study the existing connector implementations in the odo codebase (e.g., look at files in 'odo/odo/backends/') to understand the required interface and pattern. Then, using the Google Cloud Python client library (google cloud bigtable), implement the connector following that pattern. Finally, add tests and documentation. There are no prior discussions or linked pull requests for reference.
