Description
See the failure below where `google-cloud-bigtable` system tests are hitting a quota limit.
`google.api_core.exceptions.ResourceExhausted: 429 Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Instance and cluster metadata write requests' and limit 'Instance and cluster metadata write requests per day' of service 'bigtableadmin.googleapis.com'`
Regrettably, the quota limit is a `system limit`. As per https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigtable/quotas, `System limits are fixed values that can't be changed`.
In PR https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/pull/18148, we temporarily disabled system tests for `google-cloud-bigtable`. This bug tracks restoring the system tests. In the meantime, we still have emulator tests running.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the google-cloud-bigtable system tests and the temporary disablement in PR 18148, then review the linked Bigtable quota documentation. Compare them with the emulator tests and determine how the system tests can be restored without exceeding the fixed metadata-write quota. Done means the system tests are enabled and pass reliably.
