> Fix For: Airflow 1.8

>
> Airflow currently has several operators for BigQuery, but none of them are
> able to delete tables. The request is to create a new operator that will be
> able to do this.
> An important application of this is to help refresh views for which the
> schema of the underlying tables is subject to change. BigQuery has no
> functionality to refresh the schema of a view, so if the underlying table
> changes the schema will not have the new data and things like auto-completion
> will not work in the UI. By deleting a view and re-creating it, we can force
> a schema refresh.
