jack commented on AIRFLOW-3163:
-------------------------------
This no longer needed.
Google introduced ALTER TABLE:
{code:java}
#standardSQL
ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS mydataset.newtable SET OPTIONS(description="a table that
expires in 2020")
{code}
[https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-definition-language#alter_table_set_options_statement]
The feature is still in beta but seems like there is no need for this request
any more as you can just run SQL query with BigQueryOperator on your table.
> Add set table description operator to BigQuery operators
