Hello, I am currently trying to add support for BigQuery's new BIGNUMERIC
datatype [1] in Beam's BigQueryIO. I am currently following the steps that
were used for adding the NUMERIC datatype [2]. AFAICT Beam's DECIMAL is the
most appropriate datatype to map to BIGNUMERIC in BQ. However, the Beam
DECIMAL datatype is already mapped to NUMERIC in BQ [2, 3]. Given this,
should I simply map all Beam DECIMAL to BQ BIGNUMERIC? Or should this
conversion be done based on other information? [1]:
