An industrial IoT company ingests sensor readings from 50,000 devices, each emitting one reading per second. The primary access pattern is retrieving the most recent readings for a single device over the last hour, and occasionally scanning a device's readings across a full day. The team chose Cloud Bigtable for its write throughput and low-latency reads. Which row key design best supports these access patterns while avoiding hotspotting?
