### Read Mode
Beam SQL supports reading columns with simple types (`simpleType`) and arrays
of simple
types (`ARRAY<simpleType>`).
+When reading using `EXPORT` method the following pipeline options should be
set:
+* `project`: ID of the Google Cloud Project.
+* `tempLocation`: Bucket to store intermediate data in. Ex:
`gs://temp-storage/temp`.
+
+When reading using `DIRECT_READ` method, an optimizer will attempt to perform
+project and predicate push-down, potentially reducing the time requited to
read the data from BigQuery.
+
+More information about the BigQuery Storage API can be found
[here](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/io/built-in/google-bigquery/#storage-api).

### Write Mode
if the table does not exist, Beam creates the table specified in location when
