> Reporter: Jan
> Priority: P2
> Labels: stale-P2

> I'm running a job that writes to a BigQuery table using
> `BigQueryIO.writeTableRows().to(
> new SerializableFunction<ValueInSingleWindow<TableRow>, TableDestination>)`.
>
> I'm noticing that when my job fails, it leaves behind temporary tables
> (`beam_bq_job_LOAD_*`) in the destination dataset. These tables are created
> by load jobs started here:

> I'd like to specify a temporary dataset for these load job result tables, but
> I don't see a way to specify one using the Java SDK. It seems like the load
> job destination is inferred by changing the table id of the final destination:

> which makes me think that the configuration I want to set doesn't exist. Is
> there a workaround to avoid having these tables be left around when the job
> fails? Could the option be added?
