# Description `Fixes #37289 `: Replaces direct access to the internal `_type_hints` attribute with the public `get_type_hints()` accessor in `ExternalTransform.expand()`. # Why this is needed Directly accessing `self._type_hints` causes an `AttributeError` if the type hints have not been explicitly initialized before the expansion phase. This issue was observed specifically when using `StorageWriteToBigQuery` with `with_auto_sharding=True`, which triggers an `ExternalTransform` expansion where `_type_hints` is missing. Using `get_type_hints()` is the correct, defensive approach as it ensures valid type hints (or an empty instance) are returned, preventing the crash. # Testing - Reproduced the crash locally using a script involving `StorageWriteToBigQuery` with auto-sharding enabled. - Verified that the fix resolves the `AttributeError` and allows the pipeline to proceed past the expansion phase. # Checklist - [x] Mention the appropriate issue in your description (for example: `addresses #123`), if applicable.
