def fetch_bigtable_rows(big_table, keys, other_silly_variable=None): """Fetches rows from a Bigtable. Retrieves rows pertaining to the given keys from the Table instance represented by big_table. Silly things may happen if other_silly_variable is not None. Args: big_table: An open Bigtable Table instance. keys: A sequence of strings representing the key of each table row to fetch. other_silly_variable: Another optional variable, that has a much longer name than the other args, and which does nothing. Returns: A dict mapping keys to the corresponding table row data fetched. Each row is represented as a tuple of strings. For example: {'Serak': ('Rigel VII', 'Preparer'), 'Zim': ('Irk', 'Invader'), 'Lrrr': ('Omicron Persei 8', 'Emperor')} If a key from the keys argument is missing from the dictionary, then that row was not found in the table. Raises: IOError: An error occurred accessing the bigtable.Table object. """
