Fixes #10965

This change updates the Bigtable client to use the passthrough:/// scheme when connecting to the emulator via BIGTABLE_EMULATOR_HOST.

This ensures consistent behavior with other Google Cloud Go clients (e.g., Spanner #10947) and avoids potential gRPC name resolution issues by forcing the passthrough resolver. It handles BIGTABLE_EMULATOR_HOST values with or without an existing scheme (e.g. localhost:9000 or http://localhost:9000).

Summary of Changes

Hello @bhshkh, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines the Bigtable client's emulator connection logic by enforcing the use of the passthrough:/// scheme. This standardization addresses potential gRPC name resolution inconsistencies and aligns the Bigtable client with the connection practices of other Google Cloud Go clients, leading to more reliable emulator interactions.

Highlights

  • Emulator Connection Scheme: The Bigtable client now explicitly uses the "passthrough:///" scheme when connecting to the emulator via BIGTABLE_EMULATOR_HOST. This change ensures consistent behavior with other Google Cloud Go clients and avoids potential gRPC name resolution issues by forcing the passthrough resolver.
  • Scheme Handling: The implementation now robustly handles BIGTABLE_EMULATOR_HOST values, stripping any existing scheme (e.g., http://, https://, or passthrough:///) before applying the passthrough:/// prefix, ensuring the address is always correctly formatted for the passthrough resolver.
