Sorry about that, I had difficulty finding anything about the consistency model of BigTable. Upon further reading on SSTables and how BigTable distributes them across nodes, it appears there is full consistency but if a node goes down the data on it is inaccessible?

If a node goes down, another node will replace it quickly. The node (aka tablet server) doesn't own any data. The data is stored on lower level storage layer.
