robertwb opened a new issue, #28151:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/28151

   ### What happened?
   
   When doing a BigQuery Read like
   
   ```
   p | beam.io.ReadFromBigQuery(
       table='apache-beam-testing:beam_bigquery_io_test.taxi_small',
       output_type='BEAM_ROW')
   ```
   
   the TIMESTAMP fields are converted to fields of schema type 
`Field{name=event_timestamp, description=, 
type=LOGICAL_TYPE<beam:logical_type:micros_instant:v1>, options={{}}}` whereas 
in Java they are converted into (incompatible) fields of schema type 
`Field{name=event_timestamp, description=, type=DATETIME, options={{}}}`.
   
   The Python one is probably the one that is wrong here. In addition, one 
cannot write elements of this type to another BigQuery table as one gets
   
   ```
