Example of writing a local file to a table.

 String datasetName = "my_dataset_name";
 String tableName = "my_table_name";
 Path csvPath = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(".", "my-data.csv");
 String location = "us";
 TableId tableId = TableId.of(datasetName, tableName);

TableDataWriteChannel writer(JobId jobId,
                             WriteChannelConfiguration writeChannelConfiguration)

Returns a channel to write data to be inserted into a BigQuery table. Data format and other options can be configured using the WriteChannelConfiguration parameter. If the job is not in "US" or "EU", the jobId must contain the location of the job.

Example of creating a channel with which to write to a table.

 String datasetName = "my_dataset_name";
 String tableName = "my_table_name";
 String csvData = "StringValue1\nStringValue2\n";
 String location = "us";
 TableId tableId = TableId.of(datasetName, tableName);
 WriteChannelConfiguration writeChannelConfiguration =
     WriteChannelConfiguration.newBuilder(tableId).setFormatOptions(FormatOptions.csv()).build();
 // The location must be specified; other fields can be auto-detected.
 JobId jobId = JobId.newBuilder().setLocation(location).build();
 TableDataWriteChannel writer = bigquery.writer(jobId, writeChannelConfiguration);
 // Write data to writer
 try {
   writer.write(ByteBuffer.wrap(csvData.getBytes(Charsets.UTF_8)));
 } finally {
   writer.close();
 }
 // Get load job
 Job job = writer.getJob();
 job = job.waitFor();
 LoadStatistics stats = job.getStatistics();
 return stats.getOutputRows();
