Eugene Kirpichov commented on BEAM-2986: ---------------------------------------- To do this change in a compatible way, you may want to follow an approach similar to what https://github.com/apache/beam/commit/77ba7a35cdae0b036791cce0682beefeb3fd809b did for TextIO.Write. > Support reading avro GenericRecords with BigQueryIO > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BEAM-2986 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2986 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: sdk-java-gcp > Reporter: Steve Niemitz > Assignee: Chamikara Jayalath > > It would be nice to expose the avro records from BigQuery exports directly, > rather than converting/serializing them to TableRow objects. > The interface could be similar to AvroIO.parseGenericRecords, allowing a user > to pass in a custom parseFn to the reader. > There's a thread on the dev@ mailing this w/ discussion: > https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a045726a0c8d7412f3556ee3aac881920afb040180f42112b393c68e@%3Cdev.beam.apache.org%3E -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
