See discussion on https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a045726a0c8d7412f3556ee3aac881920afb040180f42112b393c68e@%3Cdev.beam.apache.org%3E . > Implement and use an Avro coder rather than the JSON one for intermediary > files to be loaded in BigQuery > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BEAM-2879 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2879 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: sdk-java-gcp > Reporter: Black Phoenix > Priority: Minor > Labels: starter > > Before being loaded in BigQuery, temporary files are created and encoded in > JSON.
