Interesting if there will be Cloud Bigtable to BigQuery connector, possible using Cloud Dataflow.

Currently you can use the BigQuery Hadoop connector and write a MapReduce job to scan Bigtable and write everything to BigQuery. Works quickly. I'm sure dataflow support is in the works, since Google internally doesn't really use MR and therefore likely has this on the back end already.
