We should add a read by prefix to the Bigtable client. It is a very common use case and can be done like this:

    client = bigtable.Client(project=project_id, admin=True)
    instance = client.instance(instance_id)
    table = instance.table(table_id)
    prefix = "phone#"
    end_key = prefix[:-1] + chr(ord(prefix[-1]) + 1)

    row_set = RowSet()
    row_set.add_row_range_from_keys(prefix.encode("utf-8"),
                                    end_key.encode("utf-8"))

    rows = table.read_rows(row_set=row_set)
