BigQuery to GCS

Template for exporting a BigQuery table to files in Google Cloud Storage. It supports writing JSON, CSV, Parquet and Avro formats.

It uses the Spark BigQuery connector for reading from BigQuery.

Arguments

• bigquery.gcs.input.table: BigQuery Input table name (format: project:dataset.table)
• bigquery.gcs.output.format: Output file format (one of: avro,parquet,csv,json)
• bigquery.gcs.output.location: Cloud Storage location for output files (format: gs://BUCKET/...)
• bigquery.gcs.output.mode: Output write mode (one of: append,overwrite,ignore,errorifexists) (Defaults to append)

Optional Arguments

• bigquery.gcs.output.partition.column: Partition column name to partition the final output in destination bucket
• bigquery.gcs.output.chartoescapequoteescaping: Sets a single character used for escaping the escape for the quote character. The default value is escape character when escape and quote characters are different, \0 otherwise
• bigquery.gcs.output.compression: None
• bigquery.gcs.output.dateformat: Sets the string that indicates a date format. This applies to date type
• bigquery.gcs.output.emptyvalue: Sets the string representation of an empty value
• bigquery.gcs.output.encoding: Decodes the CSV files by the given encoding type
• bigquery.gcs.output.escape: Sets a single character used for escaping quotes inside an already quoted value
• bigquery.gcs.output.escapequotes: A flag indicating whether values containing quotes should always be enclosed in quotes. Default is to escape all values containing a quote character
• bigquery.gcs.output.header: Uses the first line of CSV file as names of columns. Defaults to True
• bigquery.gcs.output.ignoreleadingwhitespace: A flag indicating whether or not leading whitespaces from values being read/written should be skipped
• bigquery.gcs.output.ignoretrailingwhitespace: A flag indicating whether or not trailing whitespaces from values being read/written should be skipped
• bigquery.gcs.output.linesep: Defines the line separator that should be used for parsing. Defaults to \r, \r\n and \n for reading and \n for writing
• bigquery.gcs.output.nullvalue: Sets the string representation of a null value
• bigquery.gcs.output.quote: Sets a single character used for escaping quoted values where the separator can be part of the value. For reading, if you would like to turn off quotations, you need to set not null but an empty string
• bigquery.gcs.output.quoteall: None
• bigquery.gcs.output.sep: Sets a separator for each field and value. This separator can be one or more characters
• bigquery.gcs.output.timestampformat: Sets the string that indicates a timestamp with timezone format
• bigquery.gcs.output.timestampntzformat: Sets the string that indicates a timestamp without timezone format
