Optional. Data for populating the Message object.
↳ timestamp_micros
int|string
The cell's stored timestamp, which also uniquely identifies it within its column. Values are always expressed in microseconds, but individual tables may set a coarser granularity to further restrict the allowed values. For example, a table which specifies millisecond granularity will only allow values oftimestamp_microswhich are multiples of 1000.
↳ value
string
The value stored in the cell. May contain any byte string, including the empty string, up to 100MiB in length.
The cell's stored timestamp, which also uniquely identifies it within
