Cannot load gzipped files

[Charles Bernard]

Hi,

Has anyone ever succeed to load a gzipped file using the bq shell command 'load' (bq load mytable mycsvfile.gz)?

Each time I try I got this error:

Unexpected exception in load operation: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 390: ordinal not in

range(128)

Seems like it's a python error.

Any clue?

Thanks,

Charles

Hi Charles,

I just ran into this error last week; I've got a fix that I'm planning to push out (as part of a new version of the CLI) some time this week.

Thanks!

Hi Craig,

When do you think you'll be able to push your fix? It'd be really helping as I need to upload a couple hundred GB. If that fix is not coming soon could you recommend me an alternative solution please?

Thanks a lot,

Charles

Hi Charles,

I'm handling the update this time. There's a good chance I'll get it pushed today, but this is my first time updating the git repository and I don't know what problems I'll run in to. I'll send an announcement when it's ready!

Cheers,
