JSON has some disadvantages including size of serialized data and > inability to represent NaN and infinity float values. > BigQuery supports loading files in avro format, which can overcome these > disadvantages. The Java SDK already supports loading files using avro format > (BEAM-2879) so it makes sense to support it in the Python SDK as well. > The change will be somewhere around > [{{BigQueryBatchFileLoads}}|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/3e7865ee6c6a56e51199515ec5b4b16de1ddd166/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/gcp/bigquery_file_loads.py#L554]. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
