kennknowles opened a new issue, #18977: URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/18977
Apache Beam 2.5 documentation ([https://beam.apache.org/documentation/sdks/javadoc/2.5.0/](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/sdks/javadoc/2.5.0/)), states that "WRITE_TRUNCATE public static final BigQueryIO.Write.WriteDisposition WRITE_TRUNCATE Specifies that write should replace a table. The replacement *may occur in multiple steps* - for instance by first removing the existing table, then creating a replacement, then filling it in. *This is not an atomic operation*, and external programs may see the table in any of these intermediate steps." However WRITE_TRUNCATE is an atomic BigQuery operation. The documentation needs to be updated. Imported from Jira [BEAM-4789](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4789).
