Hello BigQuery Developers!
Our weekly push to production for BigQuery contains some changes and new features worth your attention:
Breaking Changes to Object Naming (Capitalization), New Java Library
The old Java client library will continue to work but access to the new encoding feature (listed below) will require a new Java client library (version v2-1.3.3-beta).
Our weekly push to production for BigQuery contains some changes and new features worth your attention:
Breaking Changes to Object Naming (Capitalization), New Java Library
The old Java client library will continue to work but access to the new encoding feature (listed below) will require a new Java client library (version v2-1.3.3-beta).
With the new library you will find that the capitalization of some objects has changed. Here are some of the changes most likely to affect you:
Version v2-1.3.3-beta of the Java library is available here:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/APIs#BigQuery_API
Python is not affected because it generates its interfaces dynamically and it did not expose these capitalized names.
Support for uploading data encoded as Latin-1 ( ISO-8859-1 )
When you upload files in this character encoding, we will convert them to UTF-8 during the import process. All internal storage and returned results will continue to use the UTF-8 encoding.
For more information, see http://code.google.com/apis/bigquery/docs/reference/v2/reference.html#resource_jobs. You can also specify ISO-8859-1 encoding when using the bq command line utility, as announced on December 13th.
We're in the process of testing and documenting more features, so stay tuned for more announcements!
