> It looks like if there is no data to write, then WritePartitions will return
> a null destination, as explicitly stated in the comments:
> https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/v2.0.0/sdks/java/io/google-cloud-platform/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/gcp/bigquery/WritePartition.java#L126
> But, the ConstantTableDestination doesn't turn that into the constant
> destination as the comment promises, instead it returns that `null`
> destination:
> https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/53c9bf4cd325035fabde192c63652ef6d591b93c/sdks/java/io/google-cloud-platform/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/gcp/bigquery/DynamicDestinationsHelpers.java#L74
> This leads to a null pointer error here since the `tableDestination` is that
> null result from calling `getTable`:
