gariepyalex opened a new issue, #35356: URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/35356
### What happened? I'm using Dataflow 2.60 from Python and I have the following BigQuery sink configuration: ```python _bigquery = record | "write to BigQuery" >> beam.io.WriteToBigQuery( output_table, schema=schema, write_disposition=beam.io.BigQueryDisposition.WRITE_APPEND, create_disposition=beam.io.BigQueryDisposition.CREATE_NEVER, insert_retry_strategy=beam.io.gcp.bigquery_tools.RetryStrategy.RETRY_ON_TRANSIENT_ERROR, ) ``` After a schema change in the table, the write has start to fail silently, with a warning log level. *I would expect an error log level to be used instead*. This is what the code also suggests: https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/v2.60.0/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/gcp/bigquery.py#L1714 The same code is present on both 2.60 and `master`. My logs on Dataflow show: ``` { "insertId": "6514355326739548575:173475:0:71347504", "jsonPayload": { "worker": "product-nomic-finetune-re-06171143-sbar-harness-l8bh", "portability_worker_id": "sdk-1-0_sibling_12", "message": "There were errors inserting to BigQuery.
