Ismaël Mejía updated BEAM-7344:
-------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Triage Needed)
> Consider removing the requirement that users need to base64-encode their
> BYTES before passing them to BQ IO connector.
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-7344
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-7344
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: io-java-gcp, io-python-gcp
> Reporter: Valentyn Tymofieiev
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, when BigQuery IO connector reads or stores BYTES datatype in
> BigQuery, there is an expectation that users base64-encode the bytes before
> passing them to the connector, see [1,2].
> This may be an extra overhead for users to do base64 encoding when
> interacting with Beam, that is possible to avoid. Filing this issue to
> reconsider this behavior.
