All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public abstract class ExternalTableDefinition
extends TableDefinition

Google BigQuery external table definition. BigQuery's external tables are tables whose data reside outside of BigQuery but can be queried as normal BigQuery tables. External tables are experimental and might be subject to change or removed.

Method Detail

getCompression

@Nullable
public abstract String getCompression()

Returns the compression type of the data source.

See Also:

Compression

ignoreUnknownValues

@Nullable
public Boolean ignoreUnknownValues()

Returns whether BigQuery should allow extra values that are not represented in the table schema. If true, the extra values are ignored. If false, records with extra columns are treated as bad records, and if there are too many bad records, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is false. The value of getFormatOptions() determines what BigQuery treats as an extra value.

Ignore Unknown Values

getIgnoreUnknownValues

@Nullable
public abstract Boolean getIgnoreUnknownValues()

getMaxBadRecords

@Nullable
public abstract Integer getMaxBadRecords()

Returns the maximum number of bad records that BigQuery can ignore when reading data. If the number of bad records exceeds this value, an invalid error is returned in the job result.

getSourceUris

@Nullable
public List<String> getSourceUris()

Returns the fully-qualified URIs that point to your data in Google Cloud Storage. Each URI can contain one '*' wildcard character that must come after the bucket's name. Size limits related to load jobs apply to external data sources, plus an additional limit of 10 GB maximum size across all URIs.

See Also:

Quota

getSourceUrisImmut

@Nullable
public abstract com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList<String> getSourceUrisImmut()

getFormatOptions

@Nullable
public <F extends FormatOptions> F getFormatOptions()

Returns the source format, and possibly some parsing options, of the external data. Supported formats are CSV and NEWLINE_DELIMITED_JSON.

getAutodetect

@Nullable
public abstract Boolean getAutodetect()

[Experimental] Returns whether automatic detection of schema and format options should be performed.

toBuilder

public abstract ExternalTableDefinition.Builder toBuilder()
