Summary: Support BigQuery DML in BigQueryIO.Write
Key: BEAM-3313
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3313
Project: Beam
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: sdk-java-gcp
Reporter: Ward Van Assche
Assignee: Chamikara Jayalath
Since 2016 it's possible to use DML functionality in BigQuery when using
standard SQL. It would be great to also support this in Beam. Analogous to
BigQueryIO.Read::fromQuery maybe a BigQueryIO.Write::withQuery method can be
added, which is supported when standard SQL is enabled?
The reason why I think this is a major issue: within a few months GDPR goes
into effect in the EU. This law enforces companies to support deleting all data
from a certain customer. I think this feature would be useful in order to
automate the deletion/fuzzing process of personal customer data.
